Abstract
A prebiotic is a non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth or the activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon. This research aimed to determine the effect of commercial feed containing prebiotics on the growth of catfish (Pangasius sp .). The experiment were done with four treatments and three replicates, namely control A (0% prebiotic), B (1% prebiotic), C (2% prebiotic), D (3% prebiotic). The treatment with the addition of 1% prebiotic can improve number of bacteria populations, protein retention, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rates, feed efficiency and survival rate higher than the other treatments with the value of each 9.25 ± 0.09 b %, 15.65 ± 3.83 b %, 112.68 ± 25.22 b %, 1.52 ± 0.16 c %, 31.55 ± 5.1 b % and 93.33 ± 6.67%.. Therefore, the addition of 1% prebiotic can promote the growth performance of catfish.

Summary
Parameter yang di uji Parameter penelitian yang diamati yaitu jumlah konsumsi pakan, jumlah populasi bakteri, retensi protein, protein efisiensi rasio (PER), laju pertumbuhan spesifik (SGR), efisiensi pakan dan tingkat kelangsungan hidup (SR). Analisis Data Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan percobaan berupa Rancangan Acak. Lengkap (RAL) dengan tiga ulangan dan empat perlakuan. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis ragam dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95%. Untuk melihat perbedaan perlakuan maka dilakukan uji lanjut dengan uji Duncan’s Multiple Range dengan menggunakan program komputer SPSS 16
