Abstract:
A gut associated probiotic bacterium plays an important role in animal health and production performance. The aim of the present study was to determination the impact of the Pediococcus pentosaceus SPARC2 in growth performance blood profile of fish. Buffalo gut isolated and whole genome sequenced based identified (accession number JAHQJK000000000) Pediococcus pentosaceus SPARC2 was used for the preparation of the lab probiotic feed for fish. Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) was used for the in vivo feeding trails. The results showed that the body weight of the fish in probiotic fed group was significantly (p<0.05) improved after feeding the Pediococcus pentosaceus SPARC2 supplementation (1×109 CFU/g) for 90 days. The feed conversion ratio of probiotic fed group showed better (2.85±0.05) results as compared to the control group (3.18±0.76). The Pediococcus pentosaceus SPARC2 supplementation significantly (p<0.05) improved meat quality in term of crude protein and fats contents. Our results showed that based upon the animal gut isolated Pediococcus pentosaceus SPARC2, it could be used as a target-based probiotic in animal feed to improve the growth performance of fish.
