The long-term effects of three dietary probiotics on rainbow trout during grow-out (mean body weight = 250 ± 50 g) were investigated by feeding for 130 days on eight diet treatments supplemented with Lactobacillus buchneri, L. fermentum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 10⁷ CFU/g, singularly or in combination. Fish samples were taken for biochemical and immunological analysis in addition to growth performance indices at days 30 and 130 of the experiment. The expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β genes were also measured at day 130. A positive effect on food conversion was observed in rainbow trout with dietary inclusion of S. cerevisiae (P < 0.05) over 130 days. Also, the total number of white blood cells and their differential count (blood neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes), as well as respiratory burst activity were all significantly affected by different treatments at 130 days (P < 0.05). Moreover, at 130 days there was a significant increase in the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in yeast present treatment compared to the control group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in the combined probiotic treatments from control group. Yeast and L. buchneri showed a contrary effect on the immune gene expression regulation. Serum cholesterol was significantly lower in all treatments receiving yeast as a dietary probiotic, either alone or in combination with other probiotics. However, none of the probiotic treatments had a significant effect on trout growth performance, or total protein, albumin, globulin, triglyceride and the red blood cell count after 30 or 130 days. Overall, the results suggest that inclusion of a single dietary probiotic, especially S. cerevisiae, in rainbow trout during grow-out has a greater positive effect than combinations of probiotics on the immune system.
