Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with the autochthonous probiotic bacteria Bacillus cereus on growth performance, haematological parameters and survival of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). Tambaqui fingerlings (0.94 ± 0.02 g) were fed for 120 days the following diets: basal (without probiotic) and three supplemented diets (4.2 × 10 4 , 3.9 × 10 6 and 3.3 × 10 8 CFU/ g). Growth performance and haematological parameters were evaluated every 30 days. Thereafter, fish wer… Show more

“…Regarding growth performance, there was an increase of 8.6% in weight gain observed in fish fed with probiotic compared to the control treatments. This is within the range of 4%–39.2% observed in other fish fed with probiotic‐supplemented diets (Dias et al, ; Giri et al, ; Jatobá et al, ; Soltani, Kane, et al, ; Standen et al, ). Improved fish growth with probiotic supplementation can be attributed to improved digestion as well an increase in intestinal villi, increasing the contact surface for nutrient uptake and production of digestive enzymes, improving digestibility and nutrient retention (Dawood et al, ; Dias et al, ; Gupta, Gupta, & Dhawan, ; Jatobá & Mouriño, ; Sankar, Philip, Philip, & Singh, ; Soltani, Kane, et al, ).…”

“…Probiotic supplementation in fish can stimulate the hematopoietic organs, increasing the amount of red blood cells, increasing the capacity for oxygen transport, and even influencing the transport of metabolites and the humoral defence of the host (Ganguly & Prasad, ; Gobi et al, ) as observed in O. niloticus (Telli et al, ), Colossoma macropomum (Dias et al, ), Cyprinus carpio (Valiallahi, Pourabasali, Janalizadeh, & Bucio, ) and Oncorchynchus mykiss (Soltani, Kane, Taheri‐Mirghaed, Pakzad, & Hosseini, ).…”

“…Though Bacillus species as probiotics was widely used in fish farming, most studies focused on strains such as B. subtilis and B. licheniformis (Nemutanzhela, Roets, Gardiner, & Lalloo, 2014;Olmos & Paniagua-Michel, 2014). Recently, the application of B. cereus has been reported to have positive impacts on growth performance and immune response of fish like tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum; Dias et al, 2018), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus; Wang et al, 2017) and Clarias gariepinus (Reda, El-Hady, Selim, & El-Sayed, 2018). Evidences from previous studies indicated that enzymes produced by Bacillus sp.…”
