| A 70-day study was conducted to examine the effects of dietary butyric and probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum) supplementation on growth, digestive and antioxidant enzymes activities in Arabian yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus arabicus). In this regards, butyric (BA) and L. plantarum were used to design six experimental feeds as follow: 1-control (diet without supplements), 2- probiotic (1.6 × 108 CFU/g) 3-BA 0.5 (0.5% BA supplementation), 4- BA 1.0 (1% BA supplementation), 5- PRO+BA0.5 (probiotic+0.5% BA), 6- PRO-BA 1.0 (probiotic+1% BA). Five hundred and forty fish with initial weight of 2.7 ± 0.1 g were distributed among 18 polyethylene tanks (300 L). Fish were fed with the experimental diets three times a day up to visual satiation making sure no feed remain at the bottom of the tanks. Water temperature and salinity were 31.3 °C and 46 ppt, respectively. Fish fed control and probiotic diets had higher growth rate and feed efficiency than other groups. Fish in PRO-BA1% group had higher total length than other groups. Alkaline phosphatase and chymotrypsin activities in fish fed mixture of probiotic and BA was higher than the other treatments. Amylase activity in fish fed BA1%, PRO-BA0.5 and PRO-BA1% was higher than other groups (P < 0.05). Protease, trypsin and lipase activities did not affect by dietary treatments. Glutathione level in the liver of fish fed control and PRO-BA0.5% was higher than other treatments. Superoxide dismutase activity in fish fed BA1% diet was lower than the other treatments. Catalase activity in fish fed mixture of probiotic and BA was higher than other groups. The findings of the present study demonstrated that inclusion of dietary BA alone might marginally compromise growth in A. arabicus juveniles, but using a mixture of probiotic and BA in both 0.5 and 1% can improve digestive enzyme activity and antioxidant capacity in this species. |
