“…The results of the present study demonstrated that the biofloc with mixed probiotic addition had significant effects on the growth performance of red hybrid tilapia fingerlings, which were similar to those shown by other studies [ 29 , 30 ]. The growth performance of the biofloc-treated group was much better than the CS group.…”

Biofloc technology has shown positive effects in aquaculture, especially on the growth performance of cultured animals. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of adding different probiotic strains in a biofloc system on the growth performance and disease resistance of red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.). Three different probiotics (Lysinibacillus fusiformis SPS11, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens L9, and Enterococcus hirae LAB3), commercial probiotics (MG1) and a mixed probiotics (MP) combining all three strains were used in this study. The in vitro assay results showed that the mixed probiotic (MP) was able to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus iniae significantly compared to the single and commercial probiotic. The efficacy of MP was further tested in in vivo tilapia culture challenged with S. agalactiae. The best specific growth rate (3.73 ± 0.23% day−1) and feed conversion ratio (0.76 ± 0.04) were recorded in the group of biofloc with addition of MP. After being challenged with S. agalactiae, the group of biofloc with MP had significantly higher survival (83 ± 1.43%) compared to the other groups. Furthermore, the nitrogen concentration (NO2-N and NH4-N) was significantly lower in all the biofloc groups compared to the control. Hence, the addition of probiotics was able to provide beneficial effects to red hybrid tilapia culture in the biofloc system.

“…The results presented herein revealed that the addition of BAA generated better growth, immune response and disease resistance of Nile tilapia. The findings were compliant with earlier studies in red tilapia (Oreochromis sp) (Bañuelos-Vargas et al, 2021); Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) (Laice et al, 2021;Mohammadi et al, 2020Mohammadi et al, , 2021 and Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) (de Andrade et al, 2021;Hussain et al, 2021).…”

This investigation was performed to assess the influences of the host-associated probiotic Bacillus altitudinis B61-34b (BAA) on growth, immune response and disease resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish (25.50 ± 0.52 g fish −1 ) were distributed into 15 aquaria (150 litres tank −1 ) at density of 20 fish tank −1 . The fish were fed basal diets with BAA inclusions in different concentrations: 0 (BAA1-Control), 10 6 (BAA2), 10 7 (BAA3), 10 8 (BAA4) and 10 9 (BAA5) CFU ml −1 for 8 weeks. A completely randomized design with three replications was used. The results indicated that BAA administration generated greater (p < 0.05) skin mucus and peroxidase activities compared to the control, with maximum levels recorded in BAA4 and BAA5. Higher serum immunities, such as serum lysozyme, serum peroxidase, complement, phagocytosis and respiratory burst activities were observed in the BAA4 and BAA5 dietary groups compared to the control, BAA1, BAA2 and BAA3 diets. The relative percentage of survival, growth performance and FCR were also significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the BAA4 and BAA5 groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of B. altitudinis at 10 8 CFU ml −1 can improve Nile tilapia's growth performance, skin mucus and serum immunities, and disease resistance.

“…Finally, it is worth mentioning that orally administered IgG can survive passage through the mammalian gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed or loss of their biological activities [48], and examples of dietary SDP or IgG in reducing diseases severity [49,50] and pathogen shedding [41,51] in experimental challenged animals are not uncommon. In short, our study proved that porcine SDP, along with other health-promoting agents such as herbal extracts, organic acids, carotenoids, and probiotics [1,2,52], can improve the health conditions and enhance the disease resistance of aquatic animals, thereby helping to reduce the unnecessary uses of antibiotics in aquaculture.…”

Effects of spray-dried animal plasma on growth performance, survival, feed utilization, immune responses, and resistance to Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Spray-dried animal plasma (SDP) in feed for several animal species provides health benefits, but research about use of SDP in shrimp feed is very limited. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of dietary SDP on growth performance, feed utilization, immune responses, and prevention of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). In Experiment 1, the post-larvae were divided into five groups (four tank/group and 80 shrimp/tank) and fed four times daily diets with porcine SDP at 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6% of the diet for 45 days. In Experiment 2, the surviving shrimp from Experiment 1 were redistributed into six groups: four SDP groups as in Experiment 1 plus the positive and negative controls (four tank/group and 30 shrimp/tank). They were then challenged with V. parahaemolyticus by immersion at 105 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL and were fed with the same diets for another 4 days. In Experiment 1, shrimp fed 4.5% or 6% SDP diets had significantly higher body weight, survival rate, and improved feed conversion ratio. The immune parameters (total hemocyte count and phagocytic, phenoloxidase, and superoxide dismutase activities) of the shrimp fed 3–6% SDP diets also showed significant enhancement compared to the control. In Experiment 2, the survival rates of the 3–6% SDP groups were significantly higher than the positive control at day 4 after the immersion challenge. Likewise, the histopathological study revealed milder signs of bacterial infection in the hepatopancreas of the 3–6% SDP groups compared to the challenged positive control and 1.5% SDP groups. In conclusion, shrimp fed diets with SDP, especially at 4.5–6% of the diet, showed significant improvement in overall health conditions and better resistance to V. parahaemolyticus infection.
