“…Similarly, Ullah et al 26 reported that the chemical compositions of the dorsal muscles and the entire body did not differ significantly across the groups fed a diet supplemented with lauric acid. Choi et al 27 reported that there is no effect of four functional feed additives on body composition in juvenile olive Flounder.‏ However, these results are incompatible with those of Attalla et al 28 , who reported that the body composition of Nile tilapia fish fed feed additives showed a drop in fat percentage and an increase in protein content. Moreover, in contrast to Eissa et al 24 , the body composition study showed no alterations in lipid contents with probiotic treatment.…”

For human consumption, fish is a good and affordable source of several crucial elements. Growing aquaculture management and output is always necessary. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of probiotics, nano zeolite, and/or medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) on fish health and the chemical composition of the fish body. The experimental fish were distributed into eight groups. T1: Control group fed the basal diet without feed additives, T2: Nano zeolite at a rate of 2 mg/kg diet, T3: Pedococcus at a rate of 2 gm kg diet, T4: Medium chain fatty acids used according to produced company recommendation at a rate of 3.5 gm/kg diet, T5: Nano zeolite (2 mg/kg diet) + Pedococcus (2 mg/kg diet), T6: Nano zeolite (2 mg/kg diet) + Medium chain fatty acids (3.5 gm/kg diet), T7: Pedococcus (2 mg/kg diet) + Medium chain fatty acids (3.5 gm/kg diet), and T8: Nano zeolite (2 mg/kg diet) + Pedococcus (2 mg/kg diet) + Medium chain fatty acids (3.5 gm/kg diet). The obtained results showed an insignificant difference in the body composition of Nile tilapia fish fed feed additives alone or in combination. Moreover, the feed additives did not affect the health status of fish, as indicated by normal liver and kidney functions.
