    Abstract


    This study aimed to evaluate the influence of synbiotics consisting of P. pentosaceus and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) at different levels on growth rate, feed efficiency, and digestive enzymes of Nile tilapia. Fingerlings (mean weight of 5.78 ± 0.15g) were fed commercial pellets supplemented with only P. pentosaceus (at a density of
    108 CFU/ml) served as control treatment (CT) and the treatment fish groups were fed commercial pellets supplemented with synbiotics containing P. pentosaceus (108 CFU/ml) mixed with FOS at three levels, including 0.25% (NT1), 0.5% (NT2), and 1.0% of the total amount of feed (NT3), respectively. After 60 days of the feeding trial, the results showed that the fish fed with the diets supplemented with synbiotics exhibited a better growth rate and improved feed efficiency compared to the control. Furthermore, fish fed with synbiotics significantly enhanced digestive enzyme activities compared to those in the control group (P <0.05). The results of this study suggest that using synbiotics containing P. pentosaceus and FOS at a level of 0.5% of the diet is recommended to improve the growth rate, digestive enzyme activity and feed efficiency of the Nile tilapia.
