Description
Summary:•The effect of GLP on Macrobrachium rosenbergii for 60 days was investigated.•Dietary supplementation of GLP can enhance growth and innate immune responses of prawn.•Dietary supplementation of GLP can enhance the ability of prawn to resistance the Aeromonas hydrophila infection.•Supplementation of 1.5 g/kg GLP is recommended to the prawn farming. Current study was made to investigate the effect of dietary Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) on growth, innate immune response and disease resistance of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii against Aeromonas hydrophila infection. Juveniles of M. rosenbergii were fed diets containing 0 (control), 1, 1.5, and 2 g/kg of GLP for a period of 15 days. At the end of the feeding experimental, survival, growth performance were significantly (P
