The Effect of Commercial Probiotics on Histological changes in the muscle of Ornamental fish Puntius conchonius.

Abstract

The present study aims to find out the effect of commercial probiotics (Lact – Act) on histological changes in the skeletal muscle of Ornamental fish Puntius conchonius. The similar size (5.00 gm weight and 5.4 cm length) of the ornamental fish were divided into two groups as control and experimental. Control groups were fed with supplementary feed and the experimental groups were fed with commercial probiotics along with supplementary feed. The experiments were carried out for 30 days and tissue samples were observed on 15 and 30 days of an experiment. The increased cell proliferation and cytoplasmic size were observed in the muscle of probiotic fed fish.
