“…In this study, supplementation of fish with L. fermentum enhanced the growth performance, as reported previously in other studies with this probiotic (Akanmu et al, 2020;Krishnaveni et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2011;Madreseh et al, 2019). This increased growth may be due to the stimulating effect of L. fermentum on digestive enzymes, as amylase and protease activity showed higher activity in the probiotic-supplemented fish.…”

“…The enhancing effects of probiotics on disease resistance in fish have been reported in many studies (Acar et al, 2018;Hoseinifar et al, 2018). This role was also reported for the probiotic L. fermentum against A. hydrophila in common carp (Ahmadifar et al, 2019;Krishnaveni et al, 2021), snakehead, Channa striatus (Allameh et al, 2013) and Heterobranchus bidorsalis (Akanmu et al, 2020). Probiotics probably increase disease resistance in fish by competing with pathogenic bacteria and eliminating them in the gut, prompting immune and antioxidant systems and improving nutritional performance (Assan et al, 2022;Balcázar et al, 2006).…”

The present study was conducted to examine the potential effects of two dietary supplements, the probiotic, Lactobacillus fermentum (LB) (1 × 108 CFU/ml) and 0.5% cinnamon powder (CP) alone and in combination form [LB (1 × 108 CFU/ml) + CP (0.5%)] on growth, intestinal microbiota, immune and antioxidant system and resistance to Yersinia ruckeri infection in the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss under high rearing density. Fish were fed experimental diets [control (T1): (non‐supplemented fish), T2: fish fed 1 × 108 CFU/ml L. fermentum, T3: fish fed 0.5% CP and T4: fish fed 1 × 108 CFU/ml L. fermentum + 0.5% CP] for 60 days. After the feeding period, the growth performance, intestinal microbiota, immunity and antioxidant defence were assayed and fish challenged with Y. ruckeri. The supplements alone or in combination showed higher final weight, weight gain and lower feed conversion ratio compared with control. However, the specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio improved when the supplements were used in combination. The supplementation of fish with L. fermentum alone and in combination with CP increased the activity of protease and amylase (p < 0.05). Although the supplementation of fish with the L. fermentum alone or in combination with CP enhanced immune and antioxidant defence components in serum and mucus, this effect was more pronounced when fish fed L. fermentum + CP. The L. fermentum alone or in combination with CP reduced the fish stress, as the concentrations of glucose and cortisol decreased in these treatments. Alkaline phosphatase activity in blood in fish fed CP and those fed L. fermentum + CP and lactate dehydrogenase activity in fish fed L. fermentum + CP decreased compared with control. Furthermore, fish supplemented with L. fermentum + CP significantly increased resistance to Y. ruckeri infection (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that a combination of CP and L. fermentum in the diet can be more effective in improving growth, immunity, digestive enzyme performance and resistance to Y. ruckeri infection in rainbow trout, suggesting a synergistic effect for them.

“…However, the inclusion of S. cerevisiae regulated the activities of ALT and AST and protected the histological features of the liver of L. ramada. Similarly, Akanmu et al (2020) reported reduced ALT and AST activities fed dietary S. cerevisiae. The protective role of S. cerevisiae is involved in reducing the oxidative stress induced by AFB1 contamination leading to regular hepatic function.…”

“…On the other hand, using dietary S. cerevisiae enhanced the Hb, PCV, RBCS, and WBCs without AFB1 contamination and led to similar results with the control in the case of AFB1 contamination. Simultaneously, the inclusion of S. cerevisiae enhanced the Hb, PCV, RBCS, and WBCs in African catfish (Heterobranchus bidorsalis) (Akanmu et al, 2020) and rohu (Jahan et al, 2021). The improved Hb, PCV, RBCS, and WBCs are related to the role of S. cerevisiae as a metabolic regulator and immunostimulant.…”

Plant protein ingredients are increasingly included in mullet feeds and are expected to be contaminated with mycotoxins (AFB1). Thus, this study investigated the protective role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae against oxidative stress and hepato-renal malfunction induced by AFB1 contamination in mullets. Four diets were formulated, where the first was kept as the control diet, and the second was supplemented with S. cerevisiae at 5 × 106 cells/g. The third diet was supplied with AFB1 at 1 mg/kg, and the fourth was supplemented with S. cerevisiae and AFB1. Mullet fed the control or both AFB1 and S. cerevisiae (yeast/AFB1) had similar FBW, WG, SGR, and FCR (P˃0.05). Mullet treated with S. cerevisiae without AFB1 contamination showed the highest FBW, WG, and SGR (P<0.05), while fish in the AFB1 group had lower FBW, WG, and SGR and higher FCR than fish in the control and yeast/AFB1 groups (P<0.05). Using yeast with AFB1 prevented pathological hazards and improved intestinal structure. Further, yeast combined with AFB1 reduced the degenerative changes and enhanced the histological structure except for a mild inflammatory reaction around the bile duct. Fish in the control or yeast/AFB1 group had higher HB, PCV, RBCs, and WBCs than fish in the AFB1 group (P<0.05). Fish fed the control, or the yeast/AFB1 diets had similar total protein and albumin levels with higher values than fish contaminated with AFB1 (P<0.05). Fish fed the control and yeast/AFB1 diets had similar ALT, AST, urea, and creatinine levels (P˃0.05) and were lower than fish contaminated with AFB1. Additionally, fish fed the control and yeast/AFB1 diets had similar CAT, GPx, SOD, and MDA (P˃0.05) and were lower than fish contaminated with AFB1 (P<0.05). In conclusion, incorporating S. cerevisiae ameliorated the negative impacts of AFB1 toxicity on mullets’ growth, hepato-renal function, and antioxidative capacity.
