Feed pellets in modern aquaculture must be of high physical quality to withstand mechanical impacts. However, physical quality of feed has been shown to affect nutritional responses. In the present study, different moisture contents were used to modify physical feed qualities.Effects of dietary moisture content on physical feed quality, feed intake, nutrient digestibility and growth performance in Atlantic salmon were investigated. Different drying times of four commercial-like extruded diets resulted in in dry matter contents of 95.9%, 94.1%, 92.3%, 90.8%. A fifth diet containing 70% dry matter was made
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
