  The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a commercial fermented yeast product (Saccharoculture, Veterinary Pharmaceuticals, Korea), on the growth performance, non-specific immunity and autochthonous intestinal microbiota of gibel carp Carassius auratus. Following an eight week feeding trial the growth performance and serum non-specific immunity of fish fed one of four treatments (A: control group, B: 2 g/kg Saccharoculture, C: 3 g/kg Saccharoculture or D: 2 g/kg Saccharoculture + 0.1 g/kg flavomycin) was measured. Additionally, the predominant autochthonous intestinal microbiota was analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The results indicated that dietary supplementation of Saccharoculture or Saccharoculture combined with flavomycin significantly improved final weight, weight gain (WG), special growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) com..
