    abstract = {The effect of Bacillus additive on immunity and antioxidant activities of grass carp (<I>Ctenopharyngodon idellus</I>) was studied in this experiment. Animals of the control group were fed the basal diet and those of treatment group were fed the basal diet augmented with Bacillus additive at a dose of 10<SUP>5</SUP> Colony Forming Units per gram (CFU g<SUP>-1</SUP>) feed. Data showed that serum immunity parameters including IgM, complement C3 and Alkaline Phosphatase (AKP) significantly increased (p&lt;0.05) by 30.77, 34.62 and 107.79% in the treatment group. However, there was no significant difference in serum total protein, globulin, albumin, A/G ratio, Lysozyme (LZM), Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT) activities. Serum antioxidant parameters such as serum Glutathione (GSH), Total Antioxidant Capacity (T-AOC), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities significantly (p&lt;0.05) enhanced by 32.76, 41.75, 20.06 and 11.30%, respectively and hepatopancreatic antioxidant parameters including SOD activity and GSH increased significantly (p&lt;0.05) by 33.83 and 25.86%. In addition, GSH-Px and Malondialdehyde (MDA) content in hepatopancreatic decreased by 20.69% (p&lt;0.05) and 25.39% (p&lt;0.05) individually and the anti-superoxide anion (anti-O<SUB>2</SUB>&#175;) activity in hepatopancreatic decreased by 32.21% (p&lt;0.05) in the treatment group. These results indicate that the Bacillus addtive can promote the immunity and antioxidant function of grass carp.}
