The aim of the current study was to evaluate the in vivo potential effect of inulin (5 g kg-1) and Ascorbic acid (500 mg kg-1) on improving the performance as well as the immunity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Their possible protective effect against an experimental challenge infection using A. hydrophila has been also investigated.
