    We evaluated a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (Diamond V Original XPC) in hybrid catfish (Ictalurus furcatus x I. punctatus) for its potential effects on growth, blood parameters, and disease resistance. The trial featured four levels of inclusion that were added to a commercial 32% protein floating catfish ration. Following six weeks of feeding, we observed marginally heightened resistance to columnaris disease and saw significant changes in the levels of immune effectors in the serum, including lysozyme, complement, and immunoglobulin.
