PHYTASE SUPPLEMENTATION IN AQUACULTURE DIETS IMPROVES FISH, SHRIMP GROWTH PERFORMANCE

摘要

Dietary inclusion of the enzyme phytase can improve the availability of phosphorus in plant protein-based aqua-culture feeds. Adding phytase to plant-based flnfish feed has both improved phosphorus availability and reduced waste phosphorus, Despite research challenges, ongoing work on phytase supplementation in shrimp is striving to enhance shrimp feed performance in similar ways. The goal of aquafeed manufacturing is to maximize the availability of nutrients to aquatic animals in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner. This is especially relevant to the use of phosphorus in commercial production feeds for marine penaeid shrimp.
