Effects of probiotic on water quality, growth performace, survival rate and Vibrio density in Mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) juvenile nursery
Keywords
Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of probiotic (Vibrotech) on water quality, growth performance, survival rate, and Vibrio sp. density in mud crab juvenile nursery. The probiotic was applied in different forms: added only to rearing water (AW), added to both rearing water and feed (AW - AF), mixed into feed only (AF), and another group without probiotic sersed as a control (CT). After 30 days of rearing, the results indicated that probiotic significantly improved water quality, growth performance, survival rate, and reduced Vibrio sp. density compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Among the treatments, AW - AF showed the best results, including a specific growth rate in length of 5.60%/day, a survival rate of 43.44%, and a total Vibrio sp. density in the crab intestine of 3.4 × 10⁴ CFU/g. The results of the study recommend that probiotic should be added to both rearing water and feed in crab juvenile nursery to enhance water quality, boost growth rates, improve survival rates, and limit pathogens caused by Vibiro sp.
