I have treated my fish with dietary prebiotics and probiotics for 16 weeks. This was my first phase.
The second phase was started with the treated fish fed with control diet without any feed supplementation. I want to see how long the feeding trial of dietary prebiotics and probiotics on growth and other performance? I got a good result. But my question is:
Has anybody done the same experiment with other or same diet supplements for fish? If so, let me give the reference and provide the full paper, please.
a study on Atlantic salmon 2011.
Hope this is of use

Thank you, Patrick.
In fact, I have your attached paper and it is a nice and an informative article about MOS, But this seems to be not post feeding trials. I am giving some more details about my study.
I have conducted my feeding trials study with 3 dietary prebiotics, 2 probiotics and a control without any supplementation for the period of 16 weeks; after that I have fed to all treated fish only control to see the difference or how long their efficiency which I found during prebiotic and probiotic feeding trial period continued? And this was the period of Post Feeding Trial with control diet only.
I am suspecting this was the first-time experiment on this regard for fish. If anybody do, I will find it through the Research Gate, coz it is one of the most efficient scholar platforms.
Please share if you have any others.
I used live yeast and processed ( spray dried ) in some research , but the articles were published in Portuguese .
I advice you to do your experiments in different developmental stages/age group of your fish of interest at varying climatic conditions. The mode of delivery of your supplements is very much important to know their actual utility by fish, Periodical investigations on gut microbial flora and in vivo digestibility of fish will be more helpful to study the efficacy of your supplements in pre and post feeding trials.
