Assessing the impacts of in-feed probiotic on the growth performance and health condition of pangasius (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) in a farm trial

Abstract

Highlights • Growth and survival % were significantly increased in in-feed probiotics treated pangasius fry.• Growth performances of treated groups at fingerling and grow-out phases were higher.• Hematological parameters including hemoglobin, RBC and WBC were significantly higher in treatment groups.• Gut microbiota content was relatively higher in probiotic treated groups at fingerling phase.• Probiotics impact positively changed intestinal morphological structures of pangasius in treatment groups.
