Article Synopsis
  • - The African catfish is a rapidly growing farmed fish, with production increasing by 20% annually, but it faces challenges from bacterial infections and limitations of plant-based feeds due to antinutritional factors like nonstarch polysaccharides (NSPs).
  • - Supplementing the catfish diet with β-mannanase has the potential to boost growth, improve antioxidant levels, and enhance immunity, but its specific effects need further exploration.
  • - A study revealed that diets enriched with varying levels of β-mannanase improved growth performance and digestive enzyme activity in African catfish, although it did not affect survival rates; notable improvements in gut structure and antioxidant enzyme levels were also recorded.
