Abstract

Feed plays a central role in the physiological development of terrestrial and aquatic animals. Historically, the feeding practice of aquatic research species derived from aquaculture, farmed, or ornamental trades. These diets are highly variable, with limited quality control, and have been typically selected to provide the fastest growth or highest fecundity. These variations of quality and composition of diets may affect animal/colony health and can introduce confounding experimental variables into animal-based studies that impact research reproducibility.

饲料在水生实验动物营养中的作用及其对动物模型和研究可重复性的潜在影响。

饲料在陆生和水生动物的生理发育中起着核心作用。从历史上看，水生研究物种的饲养实践来源于水产养殖、养殖或观赏贸易。这些饲料变化很大，质量控制有限，通常被选择为提供最快的生长或最高的繁殖力。这些饲料质量和组成的变化可能会影响动物/群体健康，并可能在以动物为基础的研究中引入混淆实验变量，从而影响研究的可重复性。

期刊介绍： The ILAR Journal is the peer-reviewed, theme-oriented publication of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR), which provides timely information for all who study, use, care for, and oversee the use of animals in research. The journal publishes original articles that review research on animals either as direct subjects or as surrogates for humans. According to policy, any previously unpublished animal research reported in the ILAR Journal will have been conducted according to the scientific, technical, and humanely appropriate guidelines current at the time the research was conducted in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals or other guidance provided by taxonomically-oriented professional societies (e.g., American Society of Mammalogy) as referenced in the Guide.
