Abstract:

This study was carried out to determine the effect of probiotic on growth performance and hematological indices in male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstock. For this purpose, broodstock with an average initial weight of 1366.14 ± 33.85 g (mean ± S.E.M) were fed for 8 weeks with diets containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 g.kg-1 Bio-Aqua probiotic. At the end of the period, growth performance and blood parameters were evaluated. According to the results, the highest average final weight and the lowest feed conversion ratio was observed in 1 g.kg-1 treatment and showed a significant difference with control treatment (P<0.05). Moreover, the highest specific growth rate and body weight increase were obtained in 1 g.kg-1 treatment and showed significant difference with control and 2 g.kg-1 treatments (P<0.05). The condition factor was not significantly different among treatments (P>0.05). In hematological indices, the highest number of red blood cells and hemoglobin levels were observed in 1 g.kg-1 treatment and showed significant difference with control and 2 g.kg-1 treatments (P<0.05). The highest number of white blood cells and hematocrit percentage were obtained in 1 g.kg-1 treatment and showed significant difference with control treatment (P<0.05). However, significant difference were not observed in other hematological indices among the treatments (P>0.05). The results of present study demonstrated the ability of probiotic to influence on growth parameters and hematological indices in male rainbow trout broodstock. Accordingly, the Bio-Aqua probiotic in 1 g.kg-1 as the best level suggested to using in feed of male rainbow trout broodstock.

The Effect of earth worm (Eisenia fetida) on growth and hematological indices in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Feeds is major of current values in intensive fish and other aquatic animal culture (30-60% approximately). Therefore, aquaculture scientists have been attempted to find feed costs decreasing approaches. Earth worm (Eisenia fetida) is one of the most important commercial species. It can use in fish farming especially rainbow trout farms. Therefore, the study was conducted to investigate E.fet...

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Ergosan, an algal extract containing alginic acid and Hilyses, a fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on growth, immune response and hematological parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish with an initial average weight of 70-75 g were fed with Ergosan (5 g kg-1) and Hilyses (10 g kg-1) for a period of 70 days. The Results reve...
