GLO:7ZE/01dec22:are16094-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): 1 Effects of different dietary lactic acid (LA) concentrations on the total viable bacterial count (TVBC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Vibrio spp. (CFU/g) in the hepatopancreas of Macrobrachium rosenbergii juveniles after 7 weeks. In the present study, results conclusively showed that dietary LA acted as a growth promoter to I M. rosenbergii i juveniles, even at the lowest level tested (0.2% LA) which augments well for the cost effectiveness of using LA in prawn feeds.
