Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different types of aquafeeds (specifically various combinations of processed animal proteins and alternative ingredients) affect the growth and physiological health of farmed gilthead sea bream over a 77-day period.
- Four different diets were tested: a diet with processed animal protein (PAP), one without it (NOPAP), a mixed diet (MIX), and a commercial control (CTRL).
- Findings showed similar growth performance across all diets, but the NOPAP diet resulted in better markers for low oxidative stress and inflammation, while the PAP diet had poorer feed conversion and protein efficiency.
Several feed additives have proved to be beneficial in eliciting fish health. Β-glucans and curcumin are compounds with immunomodulatory capacities known to increase growth performance, stimulate immunity, improve general health, and enhance disease resistance in fish. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary extracts rich in β-glucans and curcumin on gilthead seabream health status prior to and following an intestinal inflammatory stimulus.
