Antimicrobial ability and growth promoting effects of feed supplemented with probiotic bacterium isolated from gut microflora of Cirrhinus mrigala

Immunostimulating and Growth Promoting Activity of Dietary Levamisole on Cirrhinus mrigala Fingerlings

The effects of supplementing diets with levamisole on growth, immune response and resistance against pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila were determined. Fish were assigned to three treatments with different level of levamisole (125, 250 and 500 mg kg ̄1 diet) and the control diet was prepared without levamisole. Cirrhinus mrigala were fed at 4% of their body mass for 60 days. Growth performance, en...

The Effect of Probiotic and Prebiotic Feed Supplementation on Chicken Health and Gut Microflora: A Review

Commercial poultry production is ranked among the highest source of animal protein in the world. Microbial infections caused by bacteria (Salmonella, Clostridium perfringes) and parasites particularly Eimeria has continued to challenge the poultry industry. Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) have been traditionally used to counter microbial infections in poultry. But due to public health concern...

Immunomodulatory and Growth-Promoting Effect of a Probiotic Supplemented in the Feed of Broiler Chicks Vaccinated Against Infectious Bursal Disease

This study was designed to investigate the effects of a probiotic plus an immunomodulatory product on the growth performance, immune response and net economic returns of broiler chicks vaccinated against Infectious bursal diseases virus (IBDV). A flock of 350 day-old chicks were equally and randomly distributed in seven groups, each comprising 50 birds. A mixture of microorganisms (1Probiotic) ...

Effect of Dietary Incorporation of Gliricidia Maculata Leaf Meal on Growth and Feed Utilization of Cirrhinus Mrigala Fingerlings

An eight week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of Gliricidia maculata leaf meal as dietary protein source in the diet of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% G. maculata leaf meal (Diets 1 – 4) to partially replace other protein ingredients in the C. mrigala diet. The diet containing 0% leaf meal served as t...
