An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides(ScFOS,Profeed,95%) on the intestinal microflora,mortality and growth performance of hybrid tilapia Oreochromis aurea♂×O.nilotica♀.ScFOS was included at 0,0.8,or 1.2 g/kg in trial diets and hand-fed to satiation four times daily to triplicate groups of hybrid tilapia(40 fish/group,initial body weight(5.55±0.02) g) reared in a flow-through system.At the end of the feeding trial,the animals were bulk weighed and various morphologic parameters were assessed.Intestinal samples from three individuals of each group were pooled in order to conduct the quantitative analysis of Vibrio parahaemolyticus,Aeromonas hydrophila,Lactobacillus sp.,and Streptococcus faecalis by selected agar.The results showed that final body weight(FBW,g) and specific growth rate(SGR,%/d) were significantly improved with the increasing level of ScFOS in the diets for hybrid tilapia(P0.10),and daily feed intake(FI,g/(d·fish)) also increased(P0.10).Feed conversion ratio(FCR) and hepatopancreasomatic index(HI,%) were decreased with the ascending dietary ScFOS content(P0.10).Survival rate(SR,%),C.V.of the final body weight(%),and condition factor(CF,g/cm3) were not affected by ScFOS(P0.10).All the intestinal bacteria tested showed a non-significant increase in hybrid tilapia(P0.10).The study indicates that dietary ScFOS may have beneficial effects on growth,feed conversion,intestinal microflora in tilapia.Based on our results,the optimal dietary ScFOS level should be 1.2 g/kg for hybrid tilapia.
