Effects of an Enterococcus faecium‐based probiotic on growth performance and resistance of Amazon ornamental fish Heros severus under short-term fasting
This study aimed to evaluate the deprivation and feeding frequency of H. severus fingerlings fed a diet supplemented with autochthonous probiotic E. faecium and challenged with the pathogen A. hydrophila. The experiment was carried out in 2 × 5 factorial, consisting of two food frequencies (two and four times a day) and four food deprivations with probiotic (P:7/0, P:6/1, P:5/2 and P:Alt) and one control (C:7/0). The deprivation factor, higher values of growth parameters were observed for fish from the treatments P:7/0 and P:6/1, as well greatest resistance of the A. hydrophila. Therefore, the use of probiotic E. faecium provided greater growth and resistance for H. severus.
