Animal Protein Meals Reduce Feed Costs But Don't Improve Shrimp Performance

摘要

The authors conducted a study to determine how replacement of salmon meal with various animal by-product meals in feed affected the growth performance of white shrimp. The study showed the rendered animal by-products were nutritionally inferior to salmon meal. Despite lower formula costs, replacement of salmon meal led to significant losses in shrimp performance. The losses were more significant when total replacement of salmon meal was attempted.
