Growth and survival of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), fed with the probiotic PROBION-forte©, under laboratory conditions.
Open accessAbstract
For the present study, the growth and survival of 30 juvenile axolotls of the Ambystoma mexicanum species fed with a probiotic were evaluated. At the beginning of the investigation, the specimens had an average size and weight of 4 ± 0.5 (cm) and 2 ± 0.3 (g) respectively. Throughout the study the organisms were kept in six aquariums with 40 L of fresh water, at a temperature of 15 ± 1 °C, with a natural photoperiod and with 5 axolotls each. The axolotls were fed for 24 weeks with the Tubifex tubifex slimeworm inoculated with 1 X 107 CFU/g with the probiotic PROBION-Forte© (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans and Clostridium butyricum). To verify the effect of the probiotic on the organisms, survival, growth (height and weight) as well as their degree of well-being were determined. The results reveal that the specimens fed the enriched diet present a survival of 100% compared to those fed the unenriched diet was 75%. On the other hand, the growth showed significant differences between the two treatments (p

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
