EnglishThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the zootechnical performance, intestinal mucosa, and reaction to infestation by the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in jundia Rhamdia quelen larvae supplemented with Mentha piperita essential oil or sodium butyrate in their diets. Five diets were used over 30 days: diet free of additive inclusion, 0% (control); inclusion of 1% or 2% of M. piperita essential oil: EO1% and EO2%, respectively; and inclusion of 0.25% or 0.50% of sodium butyrate: SB0.25% and SB0.50%, respectively. The different diets were not able to inhibit I. multifiliis infestation. Supplementation with SB0.50% in their diets presented better performance in all zootechnical parameters analyzed, including a 54% increase in final weight and 70% in survival, and increased (P portuguesO objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o desempenho zootecnico, a mucosa intestinal, a resistencia ao estresse e a reacao a infestacao pelo parasita Ichthyophthirius multifiliis em larvas de jundia Rhamdia quelen suplementadas com oleo essencial de Mentha piperita ou butirato de sodio em suas dietas.
