Effects of probiotics dietary supplementation on growth performance, innate immunity and digestive enzymes of silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus

Abstract

The effects of dietary probiotics on growth performance, innate immunity and digestive enzymes of silver pomfret were investigated. Compared to the control, diets supplemented with Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Clostridium butyricum caused significant improvements of growth performance, including final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion rate. A better growth performance among probiotic treatments was obtained in fish fed B. subtilis. To reveal the effects of these three probiotics on innate immunity of silver pomfret, lysozyme activity, SOD activity and IgM concentrations were examined. Results showed that silver pomfret fed diets containing C. butyricum, L. plantarum and B. subtilis had led to an enhanced innate response, notably higher lysozyme activity, SOD activity and IgM concentrations, as recorded after 30 and 60 days of feeding. In addition, study of different digestive enzymes viz lipase, protease and amylase activities showed significant higher values in fish fed the probiotic diets in comparison to the untreated group. These findings demonstrated that administration of C. butyricum, L. plantarum and B. subtilis can improve growth performance through enhanced immune response and digestive enzyme activity in silver pomfret. Furthermore, the B. subtilis is highly recommended as dietary probiotics in silver pomfret.

Clostridium butyricumas probiotic for promoting growth performance, feed utilization, gut health and microbiota community of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus)

“…Furthermore, Miichthys miiuy fed with C. butyricum for 8 weeks showed higher weight gain and feed utilization efficiency than the control group (Song, Wu, Cai, Zhang, & Zheng, ). The similar results were also reported in silver pomfret ( Pampus argenteus ; Gao et al, ) and hybrid grouper ( Epinephelus lanceolatus × E. fuscoguttatus ; He et al, ). In the present study, the supplementation of C. butyricum in the diet of tilapia increased the weight gain and feed utilization, and promoted protein and lipid retention and ADC of DM and CP.…”

“…The supplementation of L. rhamnosus and Lactococcus lactis advanced the abundance of Proteobacteria in the gut of tilapia (Xia et al, ), and dietary B. subtilis enhanced the intestinal autochthonous bacteria in hybrid tilapia (He et al, ). However, the effects of dietary C. butyricum on gut microbiota have not been reported in aquatic animals, although the potentials of C. butyricum on the growth performance, immunity and intestinal histology have been evaluated (Duan, Zhang, Dong, Wang, Zheng, et al, ; Gao et al, ; Pan et al, ). In the present study, the supplementation of C. butyricum modulated the intestinal microbial communities in tilapia digesta, and the top three dominant phyla were Planctomycetes, Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria, respectively (Figure ).…”

The Bifidobacterim bifidum (BIB2) Probiotic Increased Immune System Factors in Men Sprint Athletes

“…Zhao and colleagues showed that Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis increase activity of lysozyme, superoxide (SOD) and the concentration of IgM that was consistent with our results [43]. In the present study in the athletes who drank juice containing the probiotic, the IgM was significantly higher than control group (Figure 6 and Table 2).…”

Effect of Biofilm of Aeromonas Hydrophila Oral Vaccine on Growth Performance and Histopathological Changes in Various Tissues of Striped Catfish, Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus (Sauvage 1878)

“…Similar result was reported that in the presence of sugarcane bagasse, paddy straw and dried Eichhornea for settelement of biofilm, was higher the growth of rohu by 47.5, 29.1 and 17.6%, respectively than the control (Ramesh et al, 1999). Significant improvements of growth performance were noted in silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus diets supplemented with Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Clostridium butyricum (Gao et al, 2017).…”
