The effects of two dietary synbiotics on growth performance, haematological parameters, and non-specific immune responses in Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica)
Abstract:Feed additives are essential in improving the growth and immunity of eels, which are often affected by nutritional and disease challenges. This study evaluated the effects of two dietary synbiotics in Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica: Bacillus subtilis with mannooligosaccharide (MOS) and Enterococcus faecium with fructooligosaccharide (FOS). Six diets, including a basal diet (CON), a 4 g kg− 1 oxytetracycline (OTC), and four synbiotic diets - B.subtilis at 1 × 106 and 107 CFU g− 1 plus 5 g kg− 1 MOS (BS6MO and … Show more
