Effect of homeopathic complex Homeopatila 100
®
on performance, production and
hatching of zebrafish eggs
Lauro Vargas

T
his research verifies the influence of the homeopathic complex Homeopatila 100
®
on productive and
reproductive parameters of zebrafish (Danio rerio). The composition of the homeopathic complexHomeopatila
100® for 1.000mL was: 250mL of
Iodum
12cH, 250mL of Sulphur 30cH, 250mL of
Natrum muriaticum
200
cH, 250mL of
Streptococcinum
30 cH and q.s.p. medium (ethyl alcohol 30º GL). Six females and six males were
distributed in each of 16 aquaria of 25 L, totalizing 48 fish per treatment and 192 in the experiment. The control
treatment as well as three concentrations of the homeopathic complex Homeopatila 100
®
were administered as
follows: T1 (control), 20 mL hydroalcoholic solution (alcohol 30º GL); T2, 20 mL; T3, 40mL; and T4, 60mL
of Homeopatila 100
®
per kg of meal, with four repetitions for each treatment. The hepatosomatic (HSI) and
gonadosomatic (GSI) indices of eight females and eight males were calculated in each treatment. Reproductions
of six couples of each treatment were established to evaluate the number of eggs per female and hatch rate. The
data was submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey test for comparison of means (p < 0,1). The weight of the
animals did not differ statistically between the treatments. The animals fed the control diet had lower GSI for
males and lower larvae hatch rate (57.1%). Lower HSI of females fed a diet containing 20mL of Homeopatila
100® compared to control was observed. The hatching rate was higher for T2 and T4 animals, being above
75.0%.
