Effect of Bacflora®F symbiotic mixture on growth and the health of common carp, Cyrinus carpio
Downloads
Adding supplements to fish diets is crucial for sustainable aquaculture. Hence, the present study investigated the effects of graded levels of Bacflora®F (symbiotic mixture) on the growth performance and blood parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. The fish were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.0 (Control), 1.0 g/kg (T1), 2.0 g/kg (T2), and 3.0 g/kg (T3) Bacflora®F for 56 days. Fish were fed twice a day at a rate of 3% diets. The results showed that Bacflora®F supplementation significantly improved the treated fish's growth performance parameters, including FW, WG, DGR, SGR, RGR, and FCR. The findings also revealed improved blood parameters, as evidenced by increased levels of TP, ALB, GLO, RBC, Hct, and Hb, with a significant increase of T3 compared to other treatments. The findings suggest that supplementation of Bacflora®F can help improve the growth and health of common carp, leading to increased production and reduced environmental impact.
