Evaluate Different Feed Additives with Probionts on Growth and Biochemical Changes of Etroplus suratensis

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector in the world. One of the major constraints in the aquaculture industry all over the world is disease outbreaks. In order to avoid all these problems, scientists have selected certain beneficial microbes, so-called probiotics, which can be used as feed additives. Natural additives such as potato peel and sugarcane bagasse have much potential to increase the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture production. This work analysed the effect of natural feed ingredients and a mixture of the probiotic fish gut bacterial flora Bacillus on the growth response of Etroplus suratensis and found growth to be higher than with the control diet.
