Fish were fed with dietary administration containing E. faecium doses including of (1010, 108CFU/ g) for diet A1 and A2, respectively in a commercial diet as basal diet were used for 6 weeks. The control group was basal diet with serum. The hematological and immunity parameters were measured and fish were challenged with A.hydrophila (4.5×108CFU/mL). Fish were monitored daily and the mortality rates were recorded over 8 days post – challenge. The results indicated that HCT in A1 treatment (1010CFU/g) had significantly increased in compare to the control and A2 (108 CFU/g) treatments (p < /em><0.05).  MCV in A1(10 10CFU/g) and control groups were significantly higher than A2 (108 CFU/g) Treatment (p < /em><0.05). However, other parameters e.g. RBC, HB, MCH, MCHC had no significant different. The serum lysozyme, alternative complement activity (ACH50) and IgM levels were significantly enhanced in dietary administration E. faecium(108,1010CFU/g) in feeding period. Survival rate of fish by dietary administration E. faecium (1010CFU/g) was significantly higher (p < /em><0.05) than the other groups (86.6%).
