Description A 90-day experiment was conducted by rearing
1020 prawn juveniles (0.54 � 0.03 g) in water
supplemented with three different concentrations
of probiotic bacteria viz. T1 (107 cfu L�1), T2
(108 cfu L�1), T3 (109 cfu L�1) and the control
(C) (unsupplemented water), to evaluate probiotic
effect of Lactobacillus plantarum. In the present
study, the growth parameters (WG%, SGR) and
feed utilization parameters (FCR, PER) significantly
improved (P < 0.05) in T3. The growth and feed
utilization parameters though improved marginally
in T1 and T2, the difference was not significant
(P > 0.05) compared to the control. The gastrointestinal
Lactobacillus sp. count increased significantly
(P < 0.05) in all the treatment groups,
whereas the decrease in harmful bacteria was significant
(P < 0.05) in T3 compared to the control.
Similarly, the Lactobacillus sp. count in culture
water increased significantly (P < 0.05) in all the
experimental groups, whereas the decrease in
harmful bacteria was significant (P < 0.05) in T2
and T3.
