Abstract The current study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum (HK L-137) on growth, digestive enzyme activity, intestinal morphology and oxidative status in genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT). For 12 weeks, fish were fed a control diet (HKL0) or a diet supplemented with HK L-137 at a concentration of 50 (HKL50), 100 (HKL100) or 1000 (HKL1000) mg kg−1 feed. At the final sampling, the HKL100 group had significantly (P
