“Enzimsporin” probiotic effect on the growth, vitality and physiological state of sterlet in the RAS

Abstract

Despite the great interest in the use of probiotics to strengthen the immune characteristics of animals, there is not enough work on this issue, so we set ourselves the goal of studying the physiological state and immune status of sterlet grown in the ultrasound, which was fed with the addition of the probiotic “Enzimsporin”. A control group and three experimental groups were selected for the experiment, individuals were selected according to the principle of analogues of 50 in each group. For 60 days, the sterlet of the experimental groups was fed with the addition of probiotic in dosages of 1, 1.5 and 2 g/kg. Based on the combination of high linear-weight indicators and survival, we evaluated the hematological characteristics of individuals in the group that received a probiotic dosage of 1 g/kg of feed. In this experimental group, the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the blood did not significantly differ. When using a probiotic in a fish leukogram, the proportion of immature myeloid cells, including rod-shaped neutrophils, decreases from 3.1% to 0.6%. At the same time, there were no significant differences in the proportion of mature segmented neutrophils. The use of probiotics significantly increases the amount of lysosomal cationic protein in neutrophils to a value of 1.94 units of blood compared to the control group, whose values were 1.05 units, which indicates a favorable state of cellular immunity and a high immune status of fish in this group as a whole.
