Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance of Labeo rohita fingerlings in response to dietary supplementation with (Lactobacillus acidophilus) and (Spirulina platensis). Experimental diets were formulated by incorporating L.acidophilus and S. platensis at three different concentration levels: 2%, 4%, and 6%. These diets were administered to (Labeo rohita) fingerlings over a 75th day period. The fish were maintained under continuous natural aeration, with water exchange conducted once daily for 14 days, maintaining water parameters at pH 7.5, temperature between 30-33°C, dissolved oxygen levels at 6.5 mg/L, and salinity at 0.5 ppt. During the acclimatization phase, fingerlings were fed a Control Diet. Results indicated that the Survival Rate (SR), Specific Growth Rate (SGR), Food Conversion Ratio (FCR), and Weight Gain (WG) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the group of Labeo rohita fingerlings fed with a 6% supplementation of L. acidophilus and a similar 6% supplementation of S. platensis (210 individuals). Furthermore, the levels of total carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and triglycerides were also significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the 6% L. acidophilus-supplemented diet compared to the 6% S. platensis supplemented diet in Rohu fingerlings. Among all the experimental groups, the group fed with a diet that replaced 6% of fish meal with L. acidophilus exhibited the most significant performance improvement, followed by the group fed with a 6% S. platensis supplemented diet. These results suggest that partially replacing fish meal with L. acidophilus is advantageous for the culture of Rohu fingerlings, with similar benefits observed for a 6% supplementation of S. platensis in the diet.
