Abstract
Aquaponics systems are based upon the conversion of fish waste into plant substrates; thus, feed input is a critical component to managing water quality and optimizing performance. The current study assessed the effects of fermented yeast products (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on Nile tilapia (38.63 ± 2.01 g) and romaine lettuce growth, health and microbiome by combining a biofloc system with a deep-water hydroponic setup. Three distinct diets, each consisting of three replicates, were fed to the fish: a basal diet with 32 % crude protein and 8 % lipid, a diet having 2 % DVAQUA® inclusion, and a diet containing 0.1 % NutriTek®. No discernible growth differences across treatments were observed in the fish and plant growth trials. Foliar tissue examination showed that NutriTek-treated romaine lettuce plants had noticeably greater magnesium levels than the basal diet treated plants (P = 0.031). Following challenge with Flavobacterium oreochromis, fish fed DVAQUA and NutriTek exhibited greater survival than those fed the basal diet (P < 0.001), based on Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. No differences in serum lysozyme activity were found, but immune-related markers in the spleen and kidney tissues displayed differences pre- and post-challenge. When bacterial communities were analyzed, differences were found in alpha diversity indices in both fish fecal samples (Shannon diversity index- P < 0.001, Chao – P < 0.001 and observed species P = 0.001) and root samples (Shannon diversity index- P < 0.001, Chao – P < 0.001 and observed species P = 0.005) between treatments (P < 0.05). The most abundant phylum presented in fecal samples was Fusobacteria, whereas Cyanobacteria was the most abundant for root samples. In conclusion, feeding fermented yeast products as dietary supplements improved resistance to disease in Nile tilapia and influenced the bacterial composition in both the fecal and root microbiome.
期刊介绍:
Animal Feed Science and Technology is a unique journal publishing scientific papers of international interest focusing on animal feeds and their feeding.
Papers describing research on feed for ruminants and non-ruminants, including poultry, horses, companion animals and aquatic animals, are welcome.
The journal covers the following areas:
Nutritive value of feeds (e.g., assessment, improvement)
Methods of conserving and processing feeds that affect their nutritional value
Agronomic and climatic factors influencing the nutritive value of feeds
Utilization of feeds and the improvement of such
Metabolic, production, reproduction and health responses, as well as potential environmental impacts, of diet inputs and feed technologies (e.g., feeds, feed additives, feed components, mycotoxins)
Mathematical models relating directly to animal-feed interactions
Analytical and experimental methods for feed evaluation
Environmental impacts of feed technologies in animal production.
