Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum T13 on growth performance and digestive enzyme activity of Pacific white shrimp. Two concentrations of T13 were prepared and mixed with commercial shrimp feed to give final concentrations of approximately 109 CFU g-1 (A) and 105 CFU g-1 (B). Probiotic shrimp feeds were stored at 4°C and was prepared fresh every week. P15 shrimp, L. vannamei, were acclimated for 10 days with the average initial weight of 0.015 ± 0.0016 g and were divided into three groups: control (C) and two treatments fed with probiotic shrimp feed (A and B). The experiment was conducted in triplicate for eight weeks. During the experiment, weekly water quality was monitored and managed to maintain the acceptable aquaculture conditions. In comparison to the control group, final weight, weight gain and protease activity were significantly higher in shrimp fed with probiotics (P<0.05). Significant differences (P<0.05) for feed conversion ratio (2.03±0.15) and specific growth rate (9.48±0.14) in treatment A were observed as compared with the control but not with treatment B. However, no significant differences (P>0.05) were detected for survival rate and amylase activity among all experimental groups. Our study demonstrated that probiotic L. plantarum T13 at the concentration of 109 CFU g-1 could improve growth performance and protease activity of Pacific white shrimp.       Keywords:  Probiotic, Pacific white shrimp, growth performance, digestive enzymes
