In this study, a linoleic and linolenic acid were incubated with petroleum ether extract, ethyl acetate extract, acetone extract (AE) and aqueous extract of Astragalus membranaceus. The phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were determined in the extracts of Astragalus membranaceus (EAms) above. Results showed that EAms decreased the levels of malonaldehyde, conjugated diene, and peroxide value levels in material above. Of all of EAms, AE showed the strongest T-AOC and inhibitory effect on the lipid oxidation. Next, fish feeds were incubated with graded levels of AE. The results showed that AE inhibited lipid oxidation in fish feed. The appropriate dosage for reducing lipid oxidation was 6.74 g AE kg&minus:1 feeds. The effect of EAms on the lipid oxidation may be closely associated with their phenolic content. Then, juvenile Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian, 10.2 ±: 0.3 g) were fed with diets containing graded levels of AE (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 g kg&minus:1) for 60 days. Current data displayed that dietary AE increased the growth performance of fish. The optimum dosage for growth promotion was 5.15 g AE kg&minus:1 diet. This result of AE may be ascribed to its enhancing effect on the activity of digestive and absorptive enzymes and antioxidant capacity in digestive organs of fish. Our present study indicated that EAm holds promise as a natural antioxidant for fish and their feed.
