Article Synopsis
- scFOS supplementation in Pacific white shrimp diets was tested for its effects on growth, immune function, and gut microbiota, using various concentrations in a 6-week study.
- While weight gain, feed conversion, and survival rates did not show significant improvement, differences in gut microbial communities were observed between shrimp fed with standard diets versus those supplemented with scFOS.
- The study indicated that scFOS enhanced the immune response in shrimp and could promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, potentially guiding future developments in shrimp health management strategies like probiotics.
