Abstract

Keywords: probiotic, fish farming, catfish, composition, aquaculture Abstract The research aimed to investigate the impact of probiotics supplementation in artificial feed on the growth of catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Catfish farming is a vital component of aquaculture, and optimizing feed formulations can enhance both the economic and environmental sustainability of the industry. In this study, probiotics were incorporated into the catfish feed to assess their potential benefits on growth performance. A fully randomized design was employed, encompassing four distinct treatment groups denoted as follows: P0, representing the control group without any treatment; P1, involving the incorporation of 2 cc/kg of probiotic into the feed; P2, entailing the inclusion of 4 cc/kg of probiotic in the feed; and P3, comprising the use of 6 cc/kg of probiotic in the feed. Data analysis was conducted using analysis of variance with a confidence level set at 5%. The growth parameters, including weight gain, length increase, and feed conversion ratio (FCR), were monitored over 2 months. The results revealed a significant improvement in the growth performance of catfish in the probiotics-supplemented group compared to the control group. Catfish fed with probiotics exhibited a higher average weight gain and increased length, indicating better growth.
