Popis: Kombucha tea is the product of sugared tea fermentation by a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. This beverage contains a high source of the microbial community, such as acetic acid bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast, which may serve as an alternate source of probiotics. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary enriched kombucha tea at different levels on the protein and lipid retention of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). A total of 400 fish, with an average initial weight of 5.26±0.11 g, were randomly divided into five treatments. The diet treatment containing different volumes of added kombucha tea (4 mL, 6 mL, 8 mL, and 10 mL per kg of feed) was given and compared to the control, without kombucha addition. The fed was given at satiation three times a day for 30 days. The result showed a significant increase (P
