Quantification of intestinal bacteria, operating cost and performance of fingerlings Nile tilapia subjected to probiotics

The use of microorganisms of the genus Bacillus in aquaculture is a nutritional management practice that is rapidly expanding in regions with intensive fish farming. This study aimed to quantify the total bacteria and total coliforms from the intestinal microbiota and estimate the partial operating...

This study aimed to quantify the total bacteria and total coliforms from the intestinal microbiota and estimate the partial operating costs and growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) of the GIFT strain. A total of 1,200 post-larvae (24.7 ± 0.50 mg) were distributed into 24 aquaria (0.03-m³ capacity) within a completely randomized design in 2 x 3 factorial (phase x bacteria), with four replications. Each aquarium, containing 50 post-larvae (sex reversal phase) or 30 fish (fingerlings phase), it was considered to be an experimental unit, consisting of three treatments (diet+Bacillus subtilis C-3102, diet+Bacillus cereus var. toyoi and diet without probiotic addition).
