In order to help solve the problems of fish farmers in the village, community service activities were carried out by providing counseling on Training on Making and Using Probiotics in Freshwater Fish Farming in Marga Sakti Village, Padang Jaya District, North Bengkulu Regency as additional nutrients in feed by utilizing cheap, easily available and environmentally friendly ingredients.
