A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2014–15 and 2015–16 to study the effects of various combination of different levels of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers (Azophos) on the vegetative growth, yield contributing attributes and quality of seeds of black cumin. The results showed that the combination of 100% RDF (Recommended Dose of Fertilizer) + 15 t ha-1 FYM (Farm Yard Manure) + 4 kg ha-1 Azophos significantly improved most of the parameters related to growth of plant, seed yield and net returns. However, for production of seed oil, 75% RDF of chemical fertilizers + FYM + bio-fertilizer was recorded was the best. Most of the soil properties were improved by application of 100% RDF + FYM. Therefore from the results, it could be suggested that inclusion of organic manure and bio-fertilizer along with 100% (RDF) is the best combination for seed production of black cumin whereas for better quality seed oil 25% RDF can be substituted with FYM and biofertilizer (Azophos) in terai region of West Bengal.

Purpose In this study, we looked at the benefits of a Nigella sativa supplementation diet and how nonessential fatty acids were controlled in Labeo rohit. Methods For a total of 28 days, Labeo rohita were fed various supplemental diets including 0.00 percent, 1%, and 2.5 percent black cumin seed. The effect of black cumin seed on Labeo rohita's fatty acid profile was investigated. Saturated fatty acids were high at the start of the trial, but they reduced after supplementation, and the difference in fatty acids between groups was statistically significant (?0.05). When black cumin seed was added to fish diet, it reduced saturated fatty acids (methyl heptadedecanoate and methyl stearate) while increasing unsaturated fatty acids (gamma-linolenic acid and methyl cis-5,8,11,14 eicosatetraenoic) ConclusionIn conclusion , adding 2.5 percent black cumin seed bin feed enhanced un-saturated fatty acids, which improved the quality of the fish flesh.

Background and Aim: Black cumin meal (BCM) is the principal by-product that can be obtained from black cumin seed (Nigella sativa L) after the oil is removed from the fruit and represents 70-75% of the fruit weight. The aim of this experiment was to assess the influence of feeding BCM on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of growing lambs. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four Awassi lambs were randomly divided into two dietary treatments. The lambs were penned individually in single pens and provided access to ad libitum feed and water. The dietary treatments were no BCM (control [CON]; n=12) or 150 g BCM/kg (BCM 150; n=12) of dietary dry matter. Results: Lambs fed BCM had greater (p≤0.01) fasting live BW, and hot and cold carcass weights. Leg fat and eye muscle depth were lower (p≤0.05) in CON versus BCM lambs. Meat whiteness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness did not differ between lambs fed the two diets. Conclusion: The inclusion of BCM improves lamb carcass characteristics, but does not affect lamb meat quality.
