Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the effects of different dietary levels of probiotics on the growth and survival rate of the snakehead fish (C. striata) cultivated in a bucket system. The study employed a completely randomized design (CRD) experimental method with five treatments and three replications. The fish were fed commercial feed supplemented with probiotics at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20ml.kg⁻¹ of feed, while the control group received commercial feed without probiotics. Each treatment group contained 10 fish, ranging from 7 to 9cm in length, and was stocked in an 80-liter bucket for a 42-day rearing period. The feed provided was 5% of the fish biomass. The addition of probiotics to the feed had a significantly different effect on the fish compared to the control group, impacting absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, specific growth rate, feed conversion, and survival rate. The 10 ml.kg⁻¹ concentration resulted in the highest absolute length growth (2.33cm) and the highest specific growth rate (2.08%). The 20ml.kg⁻¹ concentration led to the highest absolute weight growth (5.43g) and the best feed conversion ratio (2.35). The 5ml.kg⁻¹ concentration achieved the highest feed efficiency (45.02%). These results indicate that the addition of commercial probiotics to the diet significantly influences the growth performance of snakehead fish reared in a bucket system.
