Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different diets for European seabass affect the composition of their faeces, particularly focusing on the nutrients that remain undigested and the potential for those faeces to produce organic acids through anaerobic digestion.
- Researchers tested faecal samples from six different diets in anoxic conditions to analyze nutrient solubilization and the yield of organic acids over a 14-day period.
- Findings indicated that faeces with higher protein relative to carbohydrates produced more organic acids, especially acetate, while the overall bacterial diversity in the faeces remained similar despite some variations in specific genera.
