The tiger shrimp culture in East Borneo is commonly performed using traditional pond system management. In this work, the objective was to evaluate the application of and extract supplemented as feed additives considering shrimp growth, survival rate, and meat quality culture in a traditional pond. There were three dietary groups that were stocked with 300 shrimp in this study.

Four fish feeds, were prepared by adding BPE at the concentrations of 0 (control), 2, 4, and 6 g kg-1, respectively, and 120 goldfish (Cyprinus carpio; initial weight 5 g) were separated into 12 boxes and fed with specific pellets and examined thrice. The experiment lasted 12 weeks, beginning with the different feeds, fish growth was measured at Weeks 4 and 8 after the feeding period.

Materials And Methods: The initial concentration of BPE and the cell density of vaccine were 900 mg L-1 and 104 CFU mL-1 for oral administration while 106 CFU mL-1 for immersion, respectively. The extract and vaccine were mixed homogeneously in a ratio of 1:1.
The combination of some plant extracts to prevent and treat bacterial infections is gaining momentum, because of effectiveness against certain bacteria. This study aims to describe the antibacterial and immunostimulant abilities of (BP), (SF) and (ZZ) plant extracts to treat and prevent and infection on Tilapia ( ). Tilapia (initial weight 15±2 g) were injected intramuscularly (0.
