“…Growth enhancement as a result of probiotic and prebiotic administration has been reported in several previous studies on a variety of fish and shellfish species fed dietary prebiotics (Mahious et al 2005;Daniels et al 2010;Hoseinifar et al 2010;Mehrabi et al 2011;Sun et al 2011;Soleimani et al 2012). The results of the present study revealed that the supplementation of LAB to the food of common carp significantly improved SGR.…”

“…Considering the results, it can be concluded that there were no significant differences in survival between the synbiotic group and the control, and the survival rate in all treatments was 100%. Nevertheless, a study on the effect of Biomin ® IMBO synbiotic on rainbow trout fingerlings reported an increase in growth parameters and survival relative to the control group (Mehrabi et al 2011). These different findings may refer to differences in quality (amount), manner of administration of E. faceium probiotic and FOS prebiotic, and the target species.…”

“…Recently, probiotics and prebiotics have become integral parts of aquaculture practices for improving growth performance (Nayak 2010;Ringo et al 2010;Mehrabi et al 2011). Synbiotics, the combined application of probiotics and prebiotics, is based on the principle of providing a probiont with a competitive advantage over competing endogenous populations; thus, it effectively improves the survival and implantation of the live microbial dietary supplement in the gastrointestinal tract of the host (Gibson and Robefroid 1995).…”

Effects of different levels of Biomin® IMBO synbiotic, including Enterococcus faecium (as probiotic), and fructooligosaccharides (as prebiotic) on survival, growth performance, and digestive enzyme activities of common carp fingerlings (Cyprinus carpio) were evaluated. The experiment was carried out in four treatments (each with 3 replicates), including T1 = control with non-synbiotic diet, T2 = 0.5 g/kg synbiotic diet, T3 = 1 g/kg synbiotic diet, and T4 = 1.5 g/kg synbiotic diet. In total 300 fish with an average weight of 10 ± 1 g were distributed in 12 tanks (25 animals per 300 l) and were fed experimental diets over a period of 60 days. The results showed that synbiotic could significantly enhance growth parameters (weight gain, length gain, specific growth rate, percentage weight gain) (P < 0.05), but did not exhibit any effect on survival rate (P > 0.05) compared with the control. An assay of the digestive enzyme activities demonstrated that the trypsin and chymotrypsin activities of synbiotic groups were considerably increased than those in the control (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the levels of α-amylase, lipase, or alkaline phosphatase (P > 0.05). This study indicated that different levels of synbiotic have the capability to enhance probiotic substitution, to improve digestive enzyme activity which leads to digestive system efficiency, and finally to increase growth. It seems that the studied synbiotic could serve as a good diet supplement for common carp cultures.

“…In yellow croaker and cobia, administration of B. subtillis/FOS or B. subtillis/chitosan respectively, not affects the survival rate, with no alterations among different dietary treatments [22] [108]. The study of Mehrabi et al showed that after 60 days groups fed diets containing different levels of synbiotics (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5) improved body weight gain about 50, 59 and 53%, respectively, in comparison with the control group [109]. Body composition has been investigated by Rodriguez-Estrada [21], Ye [107] and Mehrabi [109].…”

According to the increasing of human population in the world, it reached about seven billion people and it continuously increased. In this background, the food source in both animal and plant origin must be increased accordingly. For these we must use and add some feed additives such as antibiotic, probiotic, prebiotic, postbiotic and synbiotic for the animal feed to increase production (meat, egg, milk and fish) and improve health. In early cases, probiotic as mono or mixed beneficial live microorganism was used as feed additive that plays a significant role in several health conditions and performances. In another way, the scientists use some ingredients indigestible with carbohydrates origin, especially oligosaccharides as a source of energy for beneficial microorganisms in the body which were called prebiotic, and it is indigestible fermented food substrates that stimulate the growth, composition and activity of microorganisms in gastrointestinal and improve host. Most of the scientists urged to use all the above in such way that have more benefits in animal health and performance which were therefore called synbiotic, that was a combination between probiotic and prebiotic which beneficially had significant effects on the host by improving the survival and implantation of live microbial dietary supplements in the gastrointestinal tract, and thus improving animal health and performance. So, it was proposed that the synbiotic in this research increased beneficial microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract and improved intestinal architect, and then promoted intestine environment. Consequently, it can improve blood indices, and especially decrease bad cholesterol (Low-density lipoprotein), decrease harmful microorganisms and toxins. However, it can also improve ingredient product, increase mineral absorption and nutrient. In conclusion, it can improve animal health and performance.
