Table 1 Final mean (± SD) values of BW, TL, SGR and daily ITL of R. rutilus juveniles fed commercial diet (Control group) and the diet supplemented with: β-glucan (G), L. plantarum (L) and β-glucan+L. plantarum (G + L)

From: Dietary administration of β-1,3/1,6-glucan and Lactobacillus plantarum improves innate immune response and increases the number of intestine immune cells in roach (Rutilus rutilus)
