Aquaculture industry uses a huge amount of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics for prevention and control of diseases which lead to the development of drug resistant bacteria and accumulation of antibiotics, a serious public health problem. The probiotic application is encouraged as an alternative to antibiotics and also for environment-friendly sustainable aquaculture. Present study evaluated the functionality of B. clausii based functional feed (Feed B) in aquaculture using wheat bran as major ingredient and its efficiency is compared with control feed (Feed A) without B.clausii and commercial feed (Feed C) and the study also assessed the growth effect of Feed A, B & C on Guppy fish. In vitro probiotic characterization of B.clausii, chemical analysis, water stability analysis and viability of B. clausii in dried feed pellets were done. Probiotic based Feed B fed Guppy fish showed significantly better results of growth performance in respective of gaining weight, improved survival rate and various growth parameters like Food Conversion Ratio, Specific Growth Rate values than Feed A and Feed C. The outcome of current study pointed out that the known human probiotic strain B.clausii has a potential to be used for formulation of probiotic based functional feed to promote green and healthy aquaculture.
