Effects of dietary supplementation of vitamin-E and commercial probiotics on the innate immunity of Labeo rohita against Aeromonas hydrophila infection.

ABSTRACT: Immunomodulation is one of the useful tools to prevent diseases in aquaculture. In this study, the immunomodulatory effects of vitamin-E (100 mg/kg feed) and commercial probiotic consortia, Rhodomax™ (5 g/kg feed) on the innate immunity of Labeo rohita and their protective effect against Aeromonas hydrophila infection were evaluated and compared. Three groups of fish at 30 numbers/tank were fed with vitamin-E, probiotic and control diets at 3% body weight for 30 days, in triplicate. Following this, the fish of all groups were injected intramuscularly with A. hydrophila N₁₀P at 2.40 × 10⁷ cells/fish. The growth indices like specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) during the feeding and the non-specific immune responses during the
