Effects of Lactococcus lactis and Weissella cibaria as probiotic on growth performance, intestinal bacterial flora, digestive enzymes and intestinal histology in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Lactococcus lactis and Weissella cibaria probiotics on growth performance, intestinal bacterial flora, digestive enzymes and intestinal histology in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Fish with an average initial weight of 17 g were divided into 10 treatments with 3 replications. Fish food in treatments 1, 2 and 3 were supplemented with 29.9 × 10 10 CFUg-1 of Lactococcus lactis in doses of 150, 300 and 450 mgKg-1, food for treatments 4, 5 and 6 were supplemented with 22×10 10 CFUg-1 of Weissella cibaria in doses of 150, 300 and 450 mgKg-1, these two probiotics were equally mixed for food preparation to treatments 7,8 & 9 and used in doses of 150, 300 and 450 mgKg-1 as well as fish in treatment 10 (Control) feed basal diet with no probiotics. They were feed for 8 weeks. Fish weight and length were measured at the beginning and end of experiment to examine growth performance. Blood samples were collected to measure the amounts of digestive enzymes. Intestinal bacterial flora and intestinal histology were also performed. The results of the present study showed a significant increase in body weight gain, specific growth rate, average daily growth and a significant decrease in food conversion ratio in most treatments feed supplemented food compared to the control (P<0.05). Also, the lowest amount of amylase, lipase and protease enzymes was observed in the control. The number of lactic acid bacteria in fish feed with probiotic supplemented food was significantly higher than the control treatment (P<0.05). Finally, it was found that adding 300 mgkg-1 of combination of these probiotics and after that adding 300 mgkg-1 W.cibaria will improve growth performance, activity of digestive enzymes, intestinal microbial flora and lactic acid bacteria in common carp.

Effects of Iron Oxide Nano-Particles on the Intestinal Tissue of Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio
Background: The application of nano-particles (NPs) in various industries is growing. Since their toxicity is not clearly understood, they can cause adverse effects on the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the histopathological effects of iron oxide nano-particles on the small intestine of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Methods: Four experimental treatments were designed (15 ...
full textCommon Carp, Cyprinus carpio
The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

full textEffects of Two Probiotics, Lactobacillus Plantarum and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus on Growth Performance and Intestinal Lactic Acid Bacteria of Cyprinus Carpio
Background: The application of probiotics to aquaculture is rather new. Probiotics affect the intestinal microbial flora of fish and subsequently modulate its immune response and growth performance. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of food supplementation with L.plantarum and L.bulgaricus on growth performance and gut microbiota of Cyprinus carpio. METHODS: For this p...

This study was aimed to gain knowledge on the ontogeny of digestive enzymes in common carp larvae at the governmental Warm water Fish Aquaculture Center of Shahid Rajaee in Sari, Mazandaran, Iran. The ontogenetic development of pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase and α-amylase) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase and aminopeptidase-N) enzymes were assessed in common carp larvae from firs...
