Prophylactic effects of dietary caper (Capparis spinosa) extracts on the control of Streptococcus agalactiae infection, growth, immune-antioxidant, and inflammation cytokine responses of Nile tilapia fingerlings.

In vitro, caper extracts showed antibacterial activity against Streptococcus agalactiae. In Nile tilapia, dietary caper extracts increased immune activity, reduced inflammation, and improved resistance to S. agalactiae infection. 2.0g EE/kg feed had the most significant effects.
