Abstract | ||||
Nile tilapia farming (Oreochromis niloticus) has numerous potentials but can be challenged by feeding shortage and immune-deficiency of farmed fish. The exploration of probiotic bacteria (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) to mediate the biogenic formulation of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and their consequences in O. niloticus health and organs were targeted herein. The SeNPs were mediated with probiotic and their combination was amended to supplement fish feed at 5% ratio. The probiotic L. reuteri could entrap SeNPs within their cells, with mean diameters of 58.3 nm. The fortification of feed with L. reuteri-SeNPs emphasized their health-promoting consequences; indicated by increasing of fish weight gain, specific growth rate and lowering of feed conversion ratio. The fish weight gain, specific growth rate and of feed conversion ratio were respectively 144.79%, 1.49 % and 1.25, in probiotic-supplemented group, whereas they recorded 108.74%, 1.23% and 1.66, in control group, respectively. The histological examination of fish liver, spleen, muscle and intestine revealed the promising anti-inflammatory action of L. reuteri-SeNPs supplementation to maintain the healthy tissues features and augment their structures. The fish feed supplementation with L. reuteri-SeNPs is tremendously recommended for advancing growth, immunity and performance of Nile tilapia. | ||||
