Dietary supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus enhanced the growth, gut morphometry, antioxidant capacity, and the immune response in juveniles of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio.

This study investigated the effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus-fortified diets on growth performance, antioxidant profiles, and immunity-related gene expressions of common carp, Cyprinus carpio juveniles. Four isonitrogenous diets containing 0, 10, 10, or 10 cfu/mL/kg L. acidophilus were fed to 240 Cyprinus carpio juveniles (mean = 21.
