Agung Cahyo Setyawan, Taufik Budhi Pramono, Lilik Setiyaningsih — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Pathogenic bacteria are one of the main challenges in the cultivation of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus because they can cause organ damage and even death. The utilisation of natural ingredients such as Archidendron pauciflorum peel extract is one alternative to improve fish health in an environmentally friendly manner. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding Archidendron pauciflorum peel extract in feed on haematological parameters of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. A total of 160 test fish were divided into four treatments with extract doses of 0% (control), 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.03%, for 21 days. Parameters observed included total erythrocytes, haemoglobin levels, and haematocrit values. The results showed that Archidendron pauciflorum peel extract significantly increased haemoglobin levels and haematocrit values (P<0.05), especially at the 0.03% dose, compared to the control. Total erythrocytes showed a decrease on day 21 in all extract treatments, presumably due to the content of bioactive compounds (tannins, flavonoids, and saponins) in high doses. Bioactive compounds in Archidendron pauciflorum peel extract such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins are known to play a role in improving haematological parameters, but their use needs to pay attention to the appropriate dose so as not to cause negative effects.

EFFECTIVENESS OF PROBIOTIC, PREBIOTIC, AND SYNBIOTIC APPLICATIONS IN INCREASING FISHERY FARMING PRODUCTIVITY

Wahid Hasyimi, Misri Yandi — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Aquaculture is one of the important sectors that fulfill the community's animal protein needs. However, the intensification of aquaculture often faces challenges such as decreasing water quality, increasing disease attacks, and suboptimal organism growth. To overcome these problems, biotechnology-grounded approaches such as the application of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics have begun to be widely developed. Probiotics are living microorganisms that provide health benefits to the host by improving intestinal microflora, while prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that encourage the growth of beneficial microorganisms. The combination of the two, known as synbiotics, is believed to provide a synergistic effect in improving the health and resilience of aquatic organisms. This article reviews various research results related to the effectiveness of the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics in improving growth performance, disease resistance, and feed efficiency in various fish and shrimp species. By implementing this strategy, sustainable aquaculture can be realized by strengthening the natural immune system and improving the balance of aquatic microbiota.
