Abstract

The effect of a commercially available probiotic product containing Bacillus subtillus and Lactobacillus subtillus, on the growth performance in CatlaCatla fingerlings was studied.an experiment was conducted to determine the growth performance of Indian major carpCatlaCatla fingerlings for period of 60 days. Two experimental groups of commercial pellet diet incorporated with two types of feed probionts( Bacillussubtillus and lactobacillus subtillus) and two control groups maintained separately for CatlaCatlafingerlings.The results evaluated that the CatlaCatla fingerlings showed maximum increase in length [29.06-+0.74 mm], weight gain [343.39 mg ], FCR [1.02] and SGR [0.89] similar trends were observed highest levels in experimental group than that of control group

Keywords: Catla Catlafingerlings, FCR, SGR, Bacillussubtillus, and Lactobacillus subtillus, growth performance and weight gain.
