This study was conducted to determine the effect of probiotic addition in commercial feed to the growth and survival rate of Sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus). This research was conducted at the Ciparanje Experimental Pond Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, West Java. The method in used this research was Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and four replications. The treatment was the variances of probiotic addition which consisted of control (without probiotics), probiotic addition at as much as 0.5 grams / kg of feed, 1 gram / kg of feed and 1.5 grams / kg of feed. The parameters observed were specific growth rate (SGR), absolute biomass, survival rate (SR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Data were analyzed using Variant Analysis, at 95% confidence level, and continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the increase in the daily growth rate of Sangkuriang catfish was straight-line with the addition of probiotics. Furthermore, commercial probiotics with a dose of 1 gram / kg of feed resulted in specific growth rate of 4.22%, absolute weight of 11 grams, survival rate (SR) of 97.5% and FCR of 0.89.
