Growth performance and health status response of the Pacific white-leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei Boone, 1931 (Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata) fed a commercial digestibility enhancer in low fish meal diet with palm kernel meal replacement

What is it about?

1. Diets containing digestibility enhancer (DE) in combination with palm kernel meal (PKM) up to 9% could effectively sustain the growth and feed efficiency of P vannamei _x000D_ 2. PKM with DE may elevate tissue retention of both energy and protein in P. Vannamei _x000D_ 3. Addition of a commercial DE containing essential oils can positively prime the humoral immune system (lysozyme) response to higher plant inclusion diets for shrimp_x000D_ 4. The use of PKM with an additional DE can lead to cost benefit attributes and improved feed formulation towards achieving lower fishmeal-based diets for shrimp _x000D_
