Values are mean of quadruplicate groups and presented as mean ± SD.
Values in the same column having different superscript letters are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05). The diets were prepared by coating 0%, 0.25%, or 0.50% of Bacillus sp. SW1-1 mixture solution (designated as AP0, AP25, or AP50, respectively).
[(FBW − initial BW)/ initial BW] × 100.
(loge final weight – loge initial weight) × 100/days.
Dry feed fed/wet weight gain.
Fish weight gain/protein.
FBW, final body weight; WG, weight gain; SGR, specific growth rate; FI, feed intake; FCR, feed conversion ratio; PER, protein efficiency ratio.
