Abstract
Probiotics' effects on the biochemical parameters that determine growth performance and the ideal soil and water quality for Piaracus brachypomus fish were evaluated. Three phases made up the experiment: the fingerling stage, which lasted from 1 to 30 days; the adult stage, which lasted from 31 to 60 days and the grow-out phase, which lasted from adult to marketing, which lasted from 61 to 90 days. The experiment was conducted in two freshwater earthen ponds. 1.1 pcs/m2 is the stocking density. Twice a week, the probiotic "Super PS" with a 10 ml/kg concentration of Rhodococcus and Rhodobacter is fed to fish in the experimental pond (P2) exclusively, supplementing their diet according to their weight. The Control pond (P1) did not receive any probiotic treatment. The trial pond's treated pond demonstrated superior growth performances (p < 0.05) in comparison to the control pond. Treatment groups had a considerably (p < 0.05) increased survival percentage in the treated pond. This suggests that probiotics could be used as a preventative measure to help P.brachypomus fingerlings survive longer. Probiotic-treated pond (P2) had considerably (p < 0.001) greater biological parameter levels, but 'Super PS' treated pond had significantly (p < 0.001) higher levels of soil and water quality parameters. The results of this study show that using probiotics during Piaractus brachypomus culture produced favourable changes. Probiotic effects on the experimental pond (P2) also confirmed biochemical changes, growth performance and ideal soil and water quality parameters in Piaractus brachypomus health.
