Evaluation of paraprobiotic applicability of Lactobacillus plantarum in improving the immune response and disease protection in giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man, 1879)

Effects of dietary Bacillus pumilus on growth performance, innate immunity and digestive enzymes of giant freshwater prawns ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii )

“…Thus, B. pumilus could activate hemocytes to produce H 2 O 2 and O 2 ‐ via respiration. RBs in hemocytes has been proved to be effective in evaluating the immunity of shrimp (Dash et al, ; Wu et al, ). Pacific white shrimp ( L. vannamei ) fed with Shewanella haliotis or Aeromonas bivalvium demonstrated a significant increase in the RBs activity of blood cells (Hao et al, ).…”

The positive contributions of PowerLac ™ supplementation to the production performance, feed utilization and disease resistance of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.)

“…Whereas Dash et al . () and Mohapatra et al . () reported that dietary application of heat‐killed probiotics did not affect the growth of prawn and rohu respectively.…”

“…However, it is important to note that the effect of heat‐killed probiotics on the growth performance of the host could be different amongst aquaculture species (Dash et al . ; Dawood, Koshio, Ishikawa & Yokoyama ,b). Positive effects of heat‐killed probionts on the host growth and feed utilization were shown in grouper Epinephelus coioides (Yan, Xia, Yang, Hoseinifar & Sun ), red sea bream (Dawood et al .…”

“…Probiotics in aquaculture is defined as live microbial feed supplement that beneficially affect the host animal by modifying the host's microbial community, improving feed nutrient utilization, enhancing the host's immune response against disease and improving the culture environmental quality (Verschuere, Rombaut, Sorgeloos & Verstraete 2000;Maeda, Shibata, Biswas, Korenaga, Kono, Itami & Sakai 2014). Recently, Dash, Raman, Prasad, Makesh, Pradeep and Sen (2015) introduced a new concept of paraprobiotics in aquaculture, which is defined as non-viable microbial cells that are expected to be beneficial for the host. Studies showed that probiotics and/or paraprobiotics application could significantly control disease infection in various aquaculture species including tilapia (Pirarat, Kobayashi, Katagiri, Maita & Endo 2006;Wang, Tian, Yao & Li 2008;Selim & Reda 2015).…”

“…In the present study, fish fed diets supplemented with L. plantarum at 1×108 cfu g-1 showed increased growth and feeding parameters. Stimulation of growth by L. plantarum has been reported for several aquatic animals and in teleost fish, including white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) (Kongnum and Hongpattarakere 2012), orange spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) (Son et al, 2009), olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) (Kim et al, 2013), red sea bream (Pagrus major) (Dawood et al, 2015) and giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) (Dash et al, 2015). It has been reported that live Lactobacilli produce short chain fatty acids in the digestive tract of the host as a by-product of carbohydrate metabolism and these can be used by intestinal epithelial cells as the main sources of energy.…”
