Dietary white button mushroom improved the growth, immunity, antioxidative status and resistance against heat stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study was aimed at evaluating the growth, hematology, immune-related genes, antioxidative status and resistance against heat stress (HS) in Nile tilapia fed diets with white button mushroom (WBM) at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4% for 60 days. The final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed intake were significantly increased quadratically by increasing the level of WBM in the tilapia diet (P < .05). However, the feed conversion...
