INTRODUCTION
In the production of herbal essential oil, water vapor distillation
methods or solvent extraction method in solvents such as alcohol,
benzene and hexane are preferred [1, 2, 3]. Pure essential oil obtained
by water vapor distillation is both costly and may have side effects
for oral use, causing irritation and allergies. Solvent residues in the
method using solvent can cause neurological damage [4].
The pressing method is preferred in the production of oils from
materials such as almond (Prunus amygdalus), peanut (Arachis
hypogaea), black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) and linseed (Linum
usitatissimum). In the pressing method, the transfer of fat–soluble
antioxidant and stimulant substances into the oil occurs in very low
amounts [5, 6, 7]. Peanut oil is an important antioxidant with its
polyphenols and high vitamin E content [8]. Due to its high oil content,
peanuts are easily oxidized during storage and transportation, and
this affects the nutritional and agricultural values of peanuts [9].
Macerated oils do not carry these or similar risks and are not treated
with any solvents or chemicals. In addition, since it is kept in oil, more
oil–soluble substances pass through [10].
Various researches were being carried out on alternative feed
additives in international production platforms where the tendency
towards alternative herbal resources was increasing. Rising costs
due to adverse conditions such as covid and global warming also
cause a decrease in the feed and pharmaceutical raw materials used
in farming [11]. Due to these properties, peanut oil is preferred as an
studies [12].
In the literature, moisture content of trout was determined as
65–75%, protein content as 11–25%, ash as 0.6–1.5% and fat as 3–10%
[13, 14, 15, 16]. Studies that parallel the proximal composition results
of the study were found. There are numerous studies involving the
addition of pressed peanut oil to rainbow trout feed. However, no
studies using macerate oil have been found [17].
There are feeding studies on trouts prepared by adding peanut
oil as a carrier in the applications of active ingredients. To give an
example of a few of these: Some studies have been reported on
Clarias
gariepinus) and carp (Cyprinus carpio) [18, 19]. In another study, peanut
oil was preferred as a carrier oil because it has no side effects and
is safe. Pure peanut oil was used as a control in the study of the
EROD–inducing β
proliferator (PP) 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid model dissolved in
20]. In another study conducted to
determine the possible roles of arylhydrocarbon receptor agonists
and oxidative stress, peanut oil was used as a carrier oil instead
21]. Dernekbasi et al. [15]
investigated the effects of diets containing different proportions
of peanut oil on the growth performance, biochemical and fatty acid
compositions of juvenile European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
and stated that the use of peanut oil in different proportions in the
diets did not have a negative effect on the growth and approximate
composition of
Hematological studies have been conducted on different macerated
oils. One of these is a study investigating the effects of macerated
tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and carrot (Daucus carota) oils
on the hematological parameters of densely stocked trout; it was
hemoglobin (MCH), red blood cell (RBC), Hgb, Hct, LYM and NBT values
[22]. In another macerated oil study, the effects of macerated and
pressed wheat germ (Triticum vulgare) oils added to feed at different
rates on the NBT and hematological values of rainbow trout were
was obtained in RBC, Hgb, Hct, WBC, PLT values; it was observed that
levels [23].
et al. [24] of soybean oil in Huso huso
They also determined a decrease in the Hct and Hgb values of the
POP group in the study. Demir et al. [25] observed that there was an
increase in the Hct, Hgb, MCV, MCH, MCHC values of tilapia to which
they applied press peanut oil.
In this study, the effects of macerated and pressed peanut oils
on the proximate composition, hematological parameters and
antioxidant parameters of rainbow trout were investigated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Turgut Ozal University. Macerated oil of peanut (MOP) and pressed
peanut oil (POP) were purchased from a local spice store (Kirkambar
Co., Elazig, Turkey). MOP and POP were mixed into trout feed at a rate
of 2% of the total weight of the feed (Gumusdoga brand with 45%
Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed
acclimation for two weeks.
The experiment was executed following a completely randomized
design comprising two treatments, each replicated twice control
in the experiment was weighted as 54.70 ± 2.01 g. with TEM scales,

At the end of the experiments, blood was collected from the caudal

water) and transferred to the tubes with ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid (EDTA) [22]. Nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) activity of blood samples
was determined spectrophotometrically to detect the total oxidative
radical level of neutrophils. The mixture was incubated (ILDAM, ILD–
EKH, TÜRKAK 17025, Turkey) at room temperature for 30 min, and
0.05 mL of the NBT–blood cell suspension was removed and added
to a glass tube containing 1.0 mL of N,N dimethyl formamide. After
centrifugation (Elektromag M 2815 PR, Turkey), the sample absorbance

were stored (Arcelik, 270482–MI, Turley) one day at 4°C and then for
plasma, samples were centrifuged at 1000 G for 15 min. The plasma
