“…Supplementation of whey powder (lactose 75%) improved body weight, feed intake and FCR and decreased numbers of E. coli and cecal pH (Radfar and Farhoomand, 2008). Refstie et al (2006) found that Atlantic salmon, supplemented with 7.5% inulin had increased relative mass of the gastrointestinal tract, but the absorptive capacity of the fish was not affected.…”

The complex interactions between diet, intestinal mucosa and intestinal microbiota affect health status in livestock and poultry. Various approaches have been tried to exploit this relationship for achieving maximum health benefits and supplementation of prebiotics constitutes one of them. Now a days prebiotics have become news mainly as an alternative to probiotics, which are difficult to handle in foodstuffs, but whose benefits to gut health are well established. Commercially available prebiotics are mostly inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, transgalacto-oligosaccharides, lactulose and oligochitosan, etc. Prebiotics selectively stimulate the growth of Bifidobacterium sp., Lactobacillus sp. and certain butyrate producing bacteria and suppress the growth of toxogenic Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Streptococcus sp., peptococci, bacilli, Staphylococcus sp., Salmonella enteritidis, Campylobacter sp., bacteriodaeceae, pseudomonad, yeast and mould. Dietary supplementation of prebiotics improve a plethora of gut health attributes like hindgut fermentation, gut mucosal integrity, lipid and glucose homeostasis, mineral bio-availability and immune response in livestock and poultry owing to which many feed and pharma industries have been established. Their inclusion in diet can also suppress boar taint, control faecal odour, prevent colon cancer and reduce infestation of several parasites such as Ascaris sp., Trichuris sp. and Oesophagostomum dentatum. Their satietogenic effect results from decline in ghrelin secretion which in turn regulates body weight gain in obese animals. Prebiotics may eventually replace the role of antibiotics as growth stimulants in fishery, poultry and animal husbandry sectors. Because of all these multitude of benefits, inclusion of prebiotics in basal diet should be taken into consideration while preparing formula feed for livestock and poultry.

“…Tiêu thụ thức ăn của gà không khác biệt là do gà có khả năng điều chỉnh lượng ăn vào để thỏa mãn nhu cầu năng lượng và các khẩu phần ăn có năng lượng trao đổi như nhau [20]. Kết quả này phù hợp với báo cáo của Radfar et al [21] cho rằng khi bổ sung probiotics vào khẩu phần thức ăn của gà không ảnh hưởng nhiều đến khả năng tiêu tốn thức ăn. Kết quả tăng KLCT khi bổ sung 3% probiotics là 14,8% so với không bổ sung probiotics ở nghiên cứu hiện tại cao hơn trình bày của Alkhalf et al [7] khi bổ sung 1% probiotics nâng cao khả năng tăng KLCT thêm 7,59% so với không bổ sung ở gà thịt 3-4 tuần tuổi.…”

Bên cạnh đó, kết quả của Radfar et al [21] cho thấy bổ sung 1-2% probiotics vào khẩu phần của gà thịt đã làm giảm FCR so với gà được nuôi bằng khẩu phần không bổ sung probiotics. Kết quả FCR của gà ở nghiên cứu này thấp hơn kết quả nghiên cứu của Phùng Đức Tiến và cộng sự [22] lúc gà Ác bốn tuần tuổi cho FCR là 2,1.…”

“…Kết quả về tiêu thụ thức ăn của gà Ác giai đoạn 5-8 tuần tuổi cho thấy không có sự khác biệt giữa các nghiệm thức. Như vậy, việc bổ sung probiotics vào khẩu phần đã không ảnh hưởng đến lượng ăn vào, kết quả này phù hợp với kết quả nghiên cứu của Radfar et al [21]. Tuy nhiên, tăng KLCT hằng ngày có sự khác biệt khi bổ sung thêm 3% probiotics, với mức tăng KLCT tăng thêm là 18,5% so với không bổ sung probiotics.…”

A feeding experiment was carried out in a randomly completed design with threetreatments to be three supplementary levels of probiotics (0%; 1%; 3%), and three replicates of ten birds for each in order to evaluate effects of added probiotics on efficiencies of feed use and slaughter characteristics. Birds were vaccinated against Newcastle, bird flu, Gumboro, and chicken pox. Feed and water were supplied in adlibitum in all treatments. One male and one female for each experimental unit were slaughtered at the finishing trial. Results showed that supplementing 3% probiotics caused birds to increase their bodyweight gain differently compared to the control treatment at 4.33 and 3.77 g/bird/day in 0-4 week-age period; 6.14 and 5.18 g/bird/-day in 5-8 week-age period. In addition, when 3% probiotics was added, resulted in decreasing birds’ FCR significantly from 2.577 to 2.016; influencing on carcass ratio, thigh, and breast weight; however, it did not affect feed intake, birds’ FCR of 0-4 week-age period, breast and thigh ratio, spleen, heart, and liver weight.

Aquaculture is emerging as one of the most viable and promising enterprises for keeping pace with the surging need for animal protein, providing nutritional and food security to humans, particularly those residing in regions where livestock is relatively scarce. With every step toward intensification of aquaculture practices, there is an increase in the stress level in the animal as well as the environment. Hence, disease outbreak is being increasingly recognized as one of the most important constraints to aquaculture production in many countries, including India. Conventionally, the disease control in aquaculture has relied on the use of chemical compounds and antibiotics. The development of non-antibiotic and environmentally friendly agents is one of the key factors for health management in aquaculture. Consequently, with the emerging need for environmentally friendly aquaculture, the use of alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in fish nutrition is now widely accepted. In recent years, probiotics have taken center stage and are being used as an unconventional approach that has numerous beneficial effects in fish and shellfish culture: improved activity of gastrointestinal microbiota and enhanced immune status, disease resistance, survival, feed utilization and growth performance. As natural products, probiotics have much potential to increase the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture production. Therefore, comprehensive research to fully characterize the intestinal microbiota of prominent fish species, mechanisms of action of probiotics and their effects on the intestinal ecosystem, immunity, fish health and performance is reasonable. This review highlights the classifications and applications of probiotics in aquaculture. The review also summarizes the advancement and research highlights of the probiotic status and mode of action, which are of great significance from an ecofriendly, sustainable, intensive aquaculture point of view.
