Beto-Glucons In Barley increase immune Response, Disease Resistance In Rainbow Trout Study

摘要

In a study, ground barley containing different levels of beta-glucan was substituted for wheat in experimental diets fed to rainbow trout without significant detrimental effects on fish production efficiency while possibly increasing the trout's resistance to IHNV challenge. In contrast to previous reports, high levels of dietary barley glucans fed for periods longer than recommended did not reduce immune responses and disease resistance.
