Effect of prebiotic (GroBiotic®-A) on the growth performance and intestinal microflora on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum)
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The use of prebiotics as feed supplements that improve efficiency of intestinal bacteria is becoming de rigueur in animal husbandry in many regions worldwide. We tested the effects of a commercial prebiotic (GroBiotic®-A) including yeast and dairy fractions in different levels on survival, growth, carcass composition and intestinal microflora on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum). In the present study, we were able to detect high amounts of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the intestine after 12 weeks of prebiotic supplementation, conducted. Ultimately, when all supplementation diets are considered, GroBiotic®-A inclusion to diets for appearing on increase on growth, survival, and carcass composition on O. mykiss

Larvicidal activity of the aqueous extract of the clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) against Aedes aegypti (Diptera, Culicidae) under laboratory conditions
In the search for new agents capable to control the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti, bioassays were performed to assess the larvicidal activity of aqueous extract of clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) under laboratory conditions...
Horizontal exchange of biological information and genesis of adaptive immune system
Multicellular organisms have never evolved alone. Coevolution has been accomplished by means of horizontal information transition. A wide row of hierarchized interspecies interactions simultaneously transmitting biologic...
