The applications of probiotics in aquaculture show wide range of potential benefits. If fish consume probiotics in sufficient and accurate amounts, it can have a beneficial impact on the health of catfish. The study aimed to identify the effect of dietary probiotics supplementation of artificial diet at different doses on the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) parameters such as specific growth rate, survival rate, and feed conversion ratio. The experiment was performed at the Faculty of Agriculture, Bosowa University, Makassar, and lasted for 2 months. The experiment employed a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and three replicates. The EM4 probiotics were selected as the probiotic supplement and divided into four different doses including treatment: A (5 mL per 100 g feed), B (10 mL per 100g feed), C (15 mL per 100g feed), and D (control). A total of 120 African catfish fingerlings were fed twice every 07:00 a.m. and 06:00 p.m. with a feeding rate of 5% of the body weight. Sampling was performed every week to record catfish body weight and length. The analysis of variance indicated a significant effect of dietary EM4 probiotics supplementation on specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio of African cathfish. However, the result of the experiment revealed 15 mL per 100 g feed did not promote absolute growth rate and survival rate significantly. This study concluded that supplementation of probiotics at a dose of 15 mL per 100 g feed in diet could improve the growth of catfish.Penerapan probiotik dalam budidaya perikanan menunjukkan berbagai manfaat potensial. Jika ikan mengonsumsi probiotik dalam jumlah yang cukup dan tepat, maka dapat memberikan dampak yang menguntungkan bagi kesehatan ikan lele dumbo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh pemberian probiotik pada pakan buatan dengan dosis berbeda terhadap laju pertumbuhan spesifik, sintasan, dan rasio konversi pakan ikan lele dumbo (Clarias gariepinus). Eksperimen dilakukan di Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Bosowa, Makassar, dan berlangsung selama 2 bulan. Eksperimen menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Probiotik EM4 dipilih sebagai suplemen probiotik dan dibagi menjadi empat dosis perlakuan yang berbeda meliputi perlakuan A (5 mL per 100 g pakan), perlakuan B (10 mL per 100 g pakan), perlakuan C (15 mL per 100 g pakan), dan perlakuan D (kontrol). Sebanyak 120 ekor benih ikan lele dumbo diberi pakan dua kali setiap pukul 07.00 dan 18.00 dengan dosis pemberian pakan sebanyak 5% dari bobot tubuh ikan lele. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan setiap minggu untuk mencatat bobot dan panjang tubuh ikan lele. Analisis varians menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan dari suplementasi probiotik EM4 pada laju pertumbuhan spesifik dan rasio konversi pakan ikan lele dumbo. Namun, hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa 15 mL per 100 g pakan tidak meningkatkan laju pertumbuhan mutlak dan sintasan secara signifikan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa suplementasi probiotik 15 mL per 100 g pakan dalam pakan dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan ikan lele dumbo.

“…Lysozyme activity is important in innate immunity, which is responsible for attacking and causing damage to the cell structures of invading bacteria (Saurabh and Sahoo, 2008). The lysozyme activity was found to increase in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with probiotic-or synbiotic-supplemented diets (Sırbu et al, 2022), Chinese drum (Miichthys miiuy) fed with live or dead cells of Clostridium butyrium CB2-supplemented diets (Pan et al, 2008), and red sea bream (Pagrus major) fed with b-glucan-supplemented diets (Dawood et al, 2017) but to remain unchanged in grouper (Epinephelus coioides) fed with Bacillus pumilus or B. clausii (Sun et al, 2010). However, our findings found that dietary A. niger supplement significantly decreased the lysozyme activity in shrimps, referring to that the probiotic showed negative effects on the activity of lysozyme in the innate immunity of shrimps.…”

IntroductionThe fungus Aspergillus niger is found to be predominant in the body of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei); however, its role in shrimp’s health has not been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the influences of A. niger on growth, antioxidative activity, immune response, and gut microbiota of juvenile Pacific white shrimps under farming conditions.MethodsShrimps (2.30±1.05 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 1.5 (A1.5), or 3.0 g/kg diet of A. niger (A3.0) for one month. At the end of the study, the growth, antioxidant enzyme activity and immune parameters, and gut microbiota in shrimps fed with different experimental diets were analyzed.ResultsThe results showed a significant increase in weight gain, specific growth rate, and length gain of shrimps in A1.5, compared with other groups (P<0.05). With the exception of lysozyme in both A1.5 and A3.0, which were lower than in the control, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and phenol oxidase was higher than those in the control. Gene expressions of SOD, anti-lipopolysaccharide factor-ALF1, and ALF2 (in A1.5 and A3.0) and nitric oxide synthase, penaeidin-PEN2 (in A1.5) and PEN3 and PEN4 (in A3.0) were significantly up-regulated compared to the control (P<0.05). The addition of A. niger increased diversity and separated the microbial community in the gut of shrimps. At the phylum level, Firmicutes and Bacteroidota were dominant, and Proteobacteria was less abundant in the A1.5 and A3.0, as compared to the control. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Vibrio, Marivita, and Roseobacter was increased but Ruegeria was decreased in A1.5 and A3.0 when compared to the control. The genera Edwardsiella, Clostridium sensu stricto 1, and Shimia in the A1.5 were higher than in the control.DiscussionThese findings demonstrated the beneficial effects of A. niger on growth, health, and changes in the gut microbiota in shrimps under farming conditions. The recommended concentration of A. niger in the diet for shrimps is 1.5 g/kg diet.

“…However, the application of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics in tilapia culture is strictly regulated due to their negative impacts, such as the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, immune suppression in the fish, and antibiotic residues [3]. Hence, the dietary supplementation of alternative, friendly prebiotics, probiotics, and immunostimulants, which help improve the immune responses of the fish and reduce disease susceptibility, is receiving increasing attention in aquaculture [4][5][6][7][8].…”

This study was conducted to investigate the potential effects of natural polyphenol antioxidant (Cabanin® CSD provided by R2 Agro, Denmark)-supplemented diets on the growth performance and biochemical and antioxidant responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The fish were fed two control diets (low and high levels of vitamin C and vitamin E without added Cabanin® CSD) and two experimental diets with Cabanin® CSD supplementation for 10 weeks. After the trial, the specific growth rate, feed utilization, and survival rate were observed. The blood biochemical parameters, consisting of superoxide dismutase activity, malondialdehyde, cortisol, and glucose, were measured. The presence of malondialdehyde in the flesh meat of the tilapia was also evaluated during refrigerated storage. The fish was then challenged with 60 mg/L ammonia for 168 h. The survival rate and biochemical parameters of the blood (glucose and cortisol) were recorded after exposure to ammonia. The results show that the growth performance of tilapia was significantly improved by Cabanin® CSD supplementation (p < 0.05), while the survival rates were similar between control and Cabanin® CSD-supplemented diet groups. Superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde levels in the blood serum were significantly different between the control and Cabanin® CSD-supplemented diet groups (p < 0.05). The malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in the control group in comparison with the Cabanin® CSD-supplemented groups at day 1 and day 7 of refrigerated storage (p < 0.05). In the ammonia challenge test, the highest survival rate was observed in the Cabanin® CSD-supplemented diet groups compared to the control group. The fish serum glucose and cortisol levels increased in all the Cabanin® CSD-supplemented diet groups. In general, diets featuring Cabanin® CSD supplementation were found to exert beneficial effects on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and biochemical activity of tilapia under ammonia stress.
