Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da suplementação da dieta com os probióticos Lactobacillus plantarum e Saccharomyces cerevisiae, no desempenho zootécnico, digestibilidade e na resistência à infecção por patógeno, em alevinos de tilápia-do-nilo. Foram realizados três ensaios. No primeiro, durante 55 dias, seis grupos de 30 alevinos (2,4±0,5 g) receberam suplementação com probióticos, e outros três grupos não receberam suplementação. No final desse período, no segundo ensaio, os peixes foram desafiados com Aeromonas hydrophila, e a sobrevivência foi avaliada por 96 horas. No terceiro ensaio, com oito peixes por tanque (230,0±10,0 g), avaliou-se a digestibilidade da dieta após a suplementação com os probióticos. A suplementação probiótica melhora significativamente o ganho de peso, a conversão alimentar, as taxas de retenção proteica e energética, assim como a resistência dos animais a Aeromonas hydrophila, após a infecção. A suplementação com Saccharomyces cerevisiae à dieta de tilápia-do-nilo melhora significativamente a digestibilidade da proteína, energia e matéria seca.Termos para indexação: Aeromonas hydrophila, Lactobacillus plantarum, Oreochromis niloticus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, desempenho produtivo, nutrição. Growth, digestibility and resistance to pathogen infection in Nile tilapia fed with probioticsAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the performance, resistance to pathogen infection and digestibility in Nile tilapia fingerlings. Three trials were performed. In the first one, six groups of 30 fingerlings (2.4±0.5 g) received supplementation with probiotics during 55 days, and other three groups received no supplementation. At the end of this period, in the second trial, fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila, and survival was assessed over 96 hours. In the third trial, with eight fish per tank (230,0±10,0 g), diet digestibility after the probiotic supplementation was evaluated. Supplementation with probiotics significantly improves weight gain, feed conversion, and protein and energy retention rates, as well as the resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila after infection. Supplementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the diet of Nile tilapia significantly improves the digestibility of protein, energy, and dry matter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
