Effects of probiotic mixtures in the diet on growth performance, hematological indices, immunity and antioxidant capacity of Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) juveniles

Authors

Abstract:

In the present study, the effects of different probiotics mixtures on growth performance, hematology and antioxidant capacity of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) juveniles (30 g). In this study, three bacterial mixtures were used that were isolated from the native aquatic species of Khuzestan and the South of the country, which include: the first group includes different strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, the second group includes L. plantarum with a mixture of L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus and L. rahamnosus and the third group includes the mixture of bacteria of the first and second groups along with the mixture of Bacillus cereus and B. thuringiensis, which were identified through their quorum quenching features and isolated from Asian sea bass. Four treatments were designed by spraying various bacterial mixture on a basal diet, which included diet (1, control group) on which only sterile physiological serum was sprayed on the diet, diet (2) on which the bacterial mixture of the first group was sprayed on the diet, diet (3) on which the mixture of bacteria of the second group was sprayed and diet (4) which was the mixture of all bacteria was sprayed on it and fed to the fish. The fish was fed with the experimental diets four times a day up to satiation at 30.5 °C for 100 days. In this study, the fish that was fed with 2, 3 and 4 diets had a higher growth performance than the control (p < 0.05), which was associated with an improvement in the food conversion ratio. Blood and antioxidant indices were improved in the fish fed with diets containing probiotics mixture. Treatment 4 had more total plasma protein and albumin than other treatments. In conclusion, the use of a mixture of different probiotics increased growth in Asian seabass that associated with improved health indices in this species.

Effects of intermittent feeding on compensatory growth, feed intake and body composition in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer)

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of various starvation and refeeding periods on growth, feed utilization and body composition in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) with an average initial weight of 30.26±1.4 g (mean±SE). The fish were exposed to three different regimes: the control group fed twice daily to apparent satiation throughout the experiment (C), the first group ...

EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE AND FEEDING RATE ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, BODY COMPOSITION AND BLOOD PARAMETERS OF ASIAN SEA BASS (LATES CALCARIFER)

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different temperatures (20, 27 and 33 °C) and two feeding rates (2.5 % biomass per day and satiation) on growth performance, body composition, hematology and blood biochemistry of Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer). For this purpose, 8 fish with an average initial weight of 99.55 ± 0.24 g were randomly transported to 200 liters tanks (6 treatments w...
