Popis: Abstract This study explores the effects of dietary supplementation with passion fruit peel pectin (Passiflora edulis) and red yeast cell walls (Sporidiobolus pararoseus) on growth performance, immunity, intestinal morphology, gene expression, and gut microbiota of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Nile tilapia with an initial body weight of approximately 15 ± 0.06 g were fed four isonitrogenous (29.09–29.94%), isolipidic (3.01–4.28%), and isoenergetic (4119–4214 Cal/g) diets containing 0 g kg−1 pectin or red yeast cell walls (T1 - Control), 10 g kg−1 pectin (T2), 10 g kg−1 red yeast (T3), and a combination of 10 g kg−1 pectin and 10 g kg−1 red yeast (T4) for 8 weeks. Growth rates and immune responses were assessed at 4 and 8 weeks, while histology, relative immune and antioxidant gene expression, and gut microbiota analysis were conducted after 8 weeks of feeding. The results showed that the combined supplementation (T4) significantly enhanced growth performance metrics, including final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio, particularly by week 8, compared to T1, T2, and T3 (P
