Popis: Abstract This research evaluated the efficacy of mixed Bacillus strains probiotic supplements in mitigating acute thermal-induced stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Three experimental fish groups involved 135 Nile tilapia (49 ± 2 g); one control (no added probiotics), 0.5, and 1% of selected Bacillus strains (B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, and B. pumilus) for 58 days. After the feeding period, growth parameters, immunological parameters, stress biochemical markers, and antioxidant parameters in addition to genes related to stress and histopathological changes in fish, were assessed; subsequently subjected to heat shock at 36 ± 0.5 ◦C for 2 h. Before the heat challenge, our results exhibited a marked increase in the growth efficacy (P 0.05). When Nile tilapia was exposed to heat stress, supplementation with Bacillus probiotic in the diet significantly decreased most of the indices related to serum biochemical (ALT (P
