| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to see the effect of feeding in the form of Lactic Acid
Bacteria (LAB) probiotic UM 1 Isolate and prebiotic (inulin) on survival, specific
growth rate and feeding efficiency of tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus). The
treatment consisted of control, probiotic, prebiotic and sinbiotic addition have
been added to aquarium that contained 10 tilapia fish. This research was
conducted at the aquarium (40 x 25 x 28 cm) for 21 days. The fish were treated by
different probiotic types of for 15 days before being tested challenged. After that,
the fish were challenged with pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila.
Observed for 5 days. The results obtained indicated that supplementation to the
diet had no effect on the survival rate, specific growth rate and feeding efficiency
of tilapia during the culture period, yet to yield significant results in improving the
survival rate of fish after infected by Aeromonas hydrophila, namely the treatment
of A ( control +) by 42%, treatment C (probiotic) by 89%, treatment D (prebiotic)
by 85% and treatment E (sinbiotic) by 96%. The addition of probiotic, prebiotic
and sinbiotic on feed can increase the survival rate of fish up to 54% due to
infection of Aeromonas hydrophila. | en_US |
