The effect of baker’s yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ), in the diet of the Rohu ( Labeo rohita ) innate
immune
response were investigated. Indian major carps Labeo rohita were fed with four different diets for eight weeks: a formulated diet as control diet and the same diets supplemented with 5%, 7.5% and 10% baker’s yeast as an experimental diets. After every fifteen days interval different growth parameters ( such as ADG, SGR, FCR and PER), Serological parameters ( such as TSP,TSA, TSG and A:G), different Hematological parameters ( such as TLC,TEC, Hct, MCV and MCH ) and different Non- specific immunological parameters ( such as PR, PI,
Respiratory
Burst activity) were evaluated during experimental trial. At the end of the experimental period, fishes of all the tanks were challenged with
