Diet-Independent Positive Effects of a Multi-Species Probiotic on the Growth Performance and Resistance against in White Leg Shrimp.

Probiotic feed additives can support the gut health of shrimp and thereby improve performance, production efficiency and disease resistance. Two experiments in white leg shrimp aimed to investigate the effects of a multi-species probiotic feed supplement (AquaStar, 3 g/kg feed, Biomin GmbH, Getzersdorf, Austria) in feed formulations with different marine meal levels (32% and 15%) on growth performance and resistance against . Juvenile shrimp were stocked in a recirculating aquaculture tank system at a density of 20 shrimp/46.
