Summary: | This study investigated the influence of Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb. on the immune responses, bacterial population in the intestines, and resistance of white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, against infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Shrimp were fed with three dosages of powder, at 6.25 g kg–1 (P6.25), 12.5 g kg–1 (P12.5), and 25 g kg–1 (P25). One dosage of the crude extract was provided, 1.25 g kg–1 (E1.25), and the controls without administration of E. bulbosa consisted of a positive control (PC) and a negative control (NC). Feed supplementation was carried out for 30 days; then shrimp from all treatments were challenged by intramuscular injection with V. parahaemolyticus (106 cfu/mL), except for the NC. The results showed that supplementation with the powder and extract of E. bulbosa for 30 days resulted in significantly higher (P |
