This study was accomplished to investigate the effect of Artemia urmiana nauplii enriched with Pediococcus acidilactici as probiotic on growth performance and survival rate of great sturgeon, Huso huso.  Artemia nauplii were enriched with P. acidilactici at a final concentration of 1010 CFU mL-1 in three time dependent treatments as 3 h (T3), 6 h (T6), 9 h (T9), and one non-enriched Artemia as ...

the aim of this study was comparative study of the effects of two prebiotics, fructooligosaccharide (fos) and yeast based prebiotic (ybp), on intestinal microbiota of beluga (huso huso) juvenile. the study was done in a complete randomize design include feeding beluga with diet contain either 1 or 2% yeast based prebiotic or fructooligosaccharide as well as a control group (5 treatments in trip...

This study was carried out in a completely randomized design 3×3×4 factorial arrangement in three periods of rearing in spring 1997. Density of 300 larvae was assigned for each oval tank with 0.1m2 surface area, 30cm deep, a volume of 20lit and 0.25 lit/min of water flow per minute at Shahid Rajaie fish breeding and culture center in Sari, north of Iran. The fries were divided into ...

bacterial diseases have been reported to be the major limiting factor in shrimp production. the use of natural products such as antimicrobials has been reported as a solution to the problem. the crude extract of a red seaweed laurencia snyderiae obtained from the persian gulf was evaluated for shrimp growth performance and to determine in vivo efficacy of this seaweed in the prevention of shrim...

Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

BACKGROUND Gut hormones play an important role in the adaptation of the immature neonatal gut, and their secretion may be modulated by prebiotics. Furthermore, prebiotics are well known for their hypolipidemic potentials. We tested the hypothesis that prebiotics could alter motilin and gastrin secretion and reduce lipids in healthy preterms. METHODS A total of 167 newborns were randomized to ...

The effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and dietary mannitol on the absorption of Ca and Mg in a short term feeding trial were studied. Adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups and fed diets containing 0, 8% FOS or 8% mannitol for seven days. Daily intake and feces were monitored for three days to determine the apparent absorption of Ca and Mg. At the last day of the feeding ...
