Efficacy of Dietary Biogen® Supplementation with Water Treatment with Q Z Toss™ on Nile Tilapia.

Abstract

The current study was designed to investigate the probiotic potential of the BiogenO with and without the water quality improvement product (Q Z Toss™) on growth and health performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Four fish groups were maintained on control diet supplemented with the BiogenO for one month with or without inclusion of Q Z Toss™ in water. Dietary levels of BiogenO exhibited significant raise in growth parameters with no harmful impacts on hepatic functions. Importantly, Q Z Toss™ supplemented group showed obvious decline of water ammonia level. However, water ammonia level didn’t change in BiogenO treated fish compared to control. The histopathological examination revealed better hepatopancreas and intestinal epithelial status in BiogenO treated groups than other groups. Therefore, we can recommend the dietary addition of BiogenO in aqua-feed along with Q Z Toss™ application in rearing water as a proficient method to achieve feasible and sustainable fish health.
