Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a probiotic, composed of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum in Nile tilapia fry during the sex reversal phase under stress conditions caused by high stocking density. This experiment was conducted in the Fisheries Institute of Sao Paulo. The experiment design was completely randomized with four treatments: 1) probiotic added feed, 2) probiotic added to water, 3) probiotic added to feed and water and 4) control diet; with three replicates. The variables analyzed were: final weight, total length, specific growth rate, survival, intestinal microbiology and gene expression of TNF-alpha and HSP-70. The results of the zootechnical performance of growth and gene expression did not show significant differences between treatments in the parameters evaluated (P>0.05). In the intestinal tract of fry raised in water with added probiotic, log(10) CFU (7.72 +/- 0.51) count of Bacillus spp. was higher than with other treatments which themselves did not differ significantly. It was concluded that the addition of a probiotic of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum in the feed or water of Nile tilapia fry during the sex reversal phase did not affect the zootechnical performance of growth or expression the genes studied, but modified the intestinal microbiota.
