High dietary non-starch polysaccharides detrimental to nutrient digestibility, digestive enzyme activity, growth performance, and intestinal morphology in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
An 8-weeks feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of different levels of dietary non-starch polysaccharide on the growth, apparent nutrient digestibility, intestinal development, and morphology of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides ...

Feed Sustainability and Efficiency

, 2023
As the world population approaches the projected 10 billion thresholds in 2050, it is anticipated that global food demand, particularly for protein, would increase dramatically in the ensuing decades. In terms of absolute and relative growth rates, poultry has outpaced the other major meat types produced globally over the past 50 years.

Resveratrol mitigates the negative effects of feeding high-lipid diets to hybrid grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatus)

Aquaculture Reports
The objective of this experiment was to ascertain whether dietary supplementation with resveratrol (RES) could mitigate the negative effects of the high-lipid diet on hybrid grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatus).
