Abstract
This study aimed to determine the optimal inclusion level of protected sodium butyrate (PSB) in diets for Penaeus vannamei during the postlarvae to grow-out phase. A completely randomized design was used with four dietary treatments: 0, 2, 4, and 8 kg/t of PSB (54% sodium butyrate). The PSB product (Novation SL 2002, Spain) contains 54% sodium butyrate protected by a physical and chemical matrix based on buffer salts. Growth performance, feed efficiency, survival, histological parameters of the intestine and hepatopancreas, and meat quality were evaluated. The results demonstrated that PSB supplementation significantly improved growth performance, feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival, and gut histomorphology, as well as enhanced meat production and quality. Based on the growth and feed efficiency responses, the optimal PSB inclusion level is recommended between 4 and 6 kg/t. Therefore, PSB is an effective dietary additive to improve productivity, gut health, and product quality in P. vannamei farming.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture Nutrition is published on a bimonthly basis, providing a global perspective on the nutrition of all cultivated aquatic animals. Topics range from extensive aquaculture to laboratory studies of nutritional biochemistry and physiology. The Journal specifically seeks to improve our understanding of the nutrition of aquacultured species through the provision of an international forum for the presentation of reviews and original research papers.
Aquaculture Nutrition publishes papers which strive to:
increase basic knowledge of the nutrition of aquacultured species and elevate the standards of published aquaculture nutrition research.
improve understanding of the relationships between nutrition and the environmental impact of aquaculture.
increase understanding of the relationships between nutrition and processing, product quality, and the consumer.
help aquaculturalists improve their management and understanding of the complex discipline of nutrition.
help the aquaculture feed industry by providing a focus for relevant information, techniques, tools and concepts.
