Abstract
This study investigates the effects of Bacillus coagulans ATCC7050 probiotic supplementation on the growth performance, immune function, antioxidant activity, and liver health of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to the herbicide pretilachlor. Over 30 days, the fish were fed diets supplemented with B. coagulans (1 × 106 or 1 × 108 CFU/g) and/or 12.5% pretilachlor. Probiotic supplementation significantly enhanced growth parameters and reduced the feed conversion ratio, whereas herbicide exposure had the opposite effect (p = 0.000). Immune responses, including lysozyme activity and total immunoglobulin levels, were improved by probiotic treatment but suppressed by pretilachlor exposure (p = 0.001). Additionally, the probiotic increased antioxidant enzyme activity and reduced markers of oxidative stress. Liver function indicators elevated due to herbicide exposure were mitigated by B. coagulans supplementation (p = 0.028). These findings underscore the potential of B. coagulans to counteract herbicide-induced toxicity, supporting fish health and promoting more sustainable aquaculture practices.
期刊介绍:
Drug and Chemical Toxicology publishes full-length research papers, review articles and short communications that encompass a broad spectrum of toxicological data surrounding risk assessment and harmful exposure. Manuscripts are considered according to their relevance to the journal.
Topics include both descriptive and mechanics research that illustrates the risk assessment implications of exposure to toxic agents. Examples of suitable topics include toxicological studies, which are structural examinations on the effects of dose, metabolism, and statistical or mechanism-based approaches to risk assessment. New findings and methods, along with safety evaluations, are also acceptable. Special issues may be reserved to publish symposium summaries, reviews in toxicology, and overviews of the practical interpretation and application of toxicological data.
