Purpose: To determine the effect of giving different herbal probiotics to feed on growth in absolute length, absolute weight, SGR, FCR, and SR.
Methods: This study was conducted over 30 days in May. The research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications.
Results: This study provide basic information to increase productivity in the maintenance of snake head fish seeds in a controlled manner using probiotics at a dose of 10 ml/kg of feed. The best results showed that the use of herbal probiotics at a dose of 10 ml/kg of feed resulted in a survival rate (71.11%), the highest growth rate (3.77%), and the best feed conversion (1.2).
Limitations: Based on the results of the study, the use of probiotics at a dose of 10 ml/kg of feed improved the growth performance of snake head fish seeds reared in controlled containers.
Contribution: The snake head fish is a swamp fish that has important economic value because it has many benefits.
