This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of live food (Artemia urmiana) and commercial diet in rearing of Oncorhynchus mykiss larvae. Experiment started when larvae were 0.12g in weight. Triplicate groups of fish were offered one of four treatments: (1) a commercial starter food (2) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 3 days) (3) live Artemia urmiana nauplii (for 7 days) and (4) combin...

Two methods were developed for the production of larval fish diets. The first method, microextrusion marumerization (MEM), has been tested in laboratory feeding trials for many years and produces particles that are palatable and water stable. The second method, particle-assisted rotational agglomeration (PARA), produced diets that have lower density than diets produced by MEM. Each method was u...

aim : we evaluated the effectiveness of a synbiotic in the treatment of childhood functional abdominal pain (fap). background: probiotics are effective in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders in adult patients, but there is lack of information in children. patients and methods: children with fap, based on the rome iii criteria ( n = 115, aged 6-18 years), were randomized to re...

background: some evidence has shown benefits of probiotics in the management of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (mhe). we evaluated the efficacy of a multistrain probiotic compound, alone and in combination with lactulose, in the treatment of mhe. materials and methods: h   is study has two parts. first, consecutive adult patients with mhe were randomized to receive lactulose (30–60 ml/day) + pr...

probiotics are beneficial microorganisms of intestine with useful effects on growth and health of the animals by the colonization. in present study, effects of two different probiotic as bacillus subtilis and saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated on growth parameters, survival, and body composition of a. franciscana. also the resistance against pathogenic bacteria of vibrio campbellii was ...

bacillus spp. are gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. in this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on artemia urmiana, artemia fransiscana and artemia parthen...
