Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how adding passion fruit peel pectin and red yeast cell walls to the diet of Nile tilapia affects their growth, immunity, and gut health over an 8-week period.
- The results showed that the combined supplementation led to significant improvements in growth metrics and immune responses compared to control and individual supplement diets.
- Analysis also revealed enhanced gut health, with better intestinal morphology and increased diversity of beneficial gut bacteria, suggesting these supplements could be beneficial alternatives in aquaculture practices.
