| description | Dietary supplementation of functional feed additives such as probiotics, prebiotics and
synbiotic are widely studied in aquaculture to potentially enhance the growth of aquatic
animals. Many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria in fish and shrimp have been
reported to use quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules to induce the production of
virulence factors. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of probiotic,
prebiotic and synbiotic on the growth and health performance in Macrobrachium
rosenbergii. The first study was to isolate QS degrader from the prawn with prebiotic
utilization activity. Two QS degrader strains, BP-MBRG/1b and BP-MBRH/1b were
isolated from the gut and hepatopancreas of adult Macrobrachium rosenbergii.
Isolation of QS degraders was based on the ability of microbial community to grow in a
minimal medium which contains only the mixture of N-Acyl homoserine lactones
(AHL). The QS degrader strain isolated from the gut showed strong inhibition of AHL
and was identified as Bacillus cereus (BP-MBRG/1b). The results also showed that the
degrader strain BP-MBRG/1b grew well in fructooligosaccharide (FOS) agar medium.
Later, the second study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary prebiotic FOS
at 0.1%, 0.4%, 1% and 2% to determine the optimum inclusion level of FOS required
by M. rosenbergii post-larvae (PL) after 56 days of feeding. The specific growth rate
(SGR) was significant (p < 0.05) highest in the 0.4% FOS fed PL. Furthermore, 0.4%
FOS also significantly (p < 0.05) stimulated the highest intestinal short-chain fatty
acids (SCFAs) production compared to the control treatment. After 56 days, the
hepatopancreatic tubules of prawns in the 0.4% FOS treatment were more closely
arranged with significantly (p < 0.05) more R- and E-cells. However, oxidative stress in
prawns was increased with the increased of FOS concentration. Lastly, the third
experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the probiotic and FOS in single or
combined diets (synbiotic) supplementation in M. rosenbergii juveniles. After 28 days
of feeding, results showed that the SGR was significant (p < 0.05) highest in the
prawns fed with probiotic diet, accompanied by increased superoxide dismutase
activity (SOD) and SCFAs. The prawns were then challenged with pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila AH-1N via static immersion. Prebiotic fed prawns had the
highest survival although survival response was not significant (p > 0.05) different
among the treatment. Both prebiotic and synbiotic diet significantly (p < 0.05)
enhanced the SOD in prawns, suggesting the induction of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) in order to kill pathogenic bacteria. Histological observations of hepatopancreas
showed differences in severity and type of cell/tissue damage where synbiotic fed
prawns showed the best hepatopancreas condition. In addition, synbiotic showed the
greatest protection effects in juvenile prawns when A. hydrophila was present. Overall,
this study showed that dietary FOS stimulated the growth in PL while probiotic diet
enhanced the growth in juvenile prawns. In conclusion, dietary prebiotic
supplementation stimulated the growth in PL while probiotic diet enhanced the growth
in juvenile prawns. Synbiotic diet showed potential in protecting the prawn from A.
hydrophila based on histological observation. The outcome of this study suggested
addition of feed additives probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic exert different beneficial
effects in the prawns. Further optimization and study of additives inclusion dosage in
diets are required as the present study showed probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic exert
different positive effects in M. rosenbergii. |
