  Effects of Probiotic Bacillus on Fish Growth Performance, Immune Response and Disease Resistance in Aquaculture
  Author(s): Ashikur Rahman, Shoaibe Hossain Talukder Shefat*, Mohammed Anas Chowdhury and Saif Uddin Khan
  
  Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing animal food-producing agricultural industries in the world and proper performance of fish in morphological, physiological and immunological aspects is important for fish production and sustainable expansion of aquaculture. But several inhibitors like disease, pathogen, and adverse environment can overpower these performances. At present, antibiotics in preventing these inhibitors have been seen as becoming favorable to those inhibitors. So, Bacillus, an important group of probiotic bacteria can be an alternative to these antibiotics in aquaculture. Bacillus has been seen used in different experiments, mainly as a supplement in feed at various concentrations. Bacillus showed effective results like improved growth with minimum cost, improvement in reproduction, hematology, improved immune response and diseas.. View more»
