  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the effect of probiotic supplementation on the growth performance, biochemical composition, and physiological responses of Labeo rohita. Experimental fish were fed with probiotic-supplemented diets over a fixed period under controlled conditions. Growth parameters such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and specific growth rate were significantly improved in treated groups compared to control. Biochemical analysis revealed enhanced protein, lipid, and moisture content in probiotic-fed fish. Hematological and physiological parameters indicated better health status and stress resistance. The results suggest that probiotics play a vital role in improving nutrient utilization and metabolic efficiency. Enhanced immune response and gut health were also observed in supplemented groups. Overall, probiotic inclusion positively influenced fish performance and quality. This study highlights the potential of probiotics as a sustainable feed additive in aquaculture.
