Effect of Dietary Phytobiotics Products on Growth, Immune Responses and Vibriosis Resistance in Litopenaeus vannamei

Benefits of Natural Immunostimulants Derived from Fruit By-Products Added to the Diet of Litopenaeus vannamei: Growth, Intestinal Microbiota, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Immune Responses and Economic Values

“…Most medicinal plants, including banana peel and grape bagasse have immunostimulant qualities that can be used to enhance health and prevent disease (Rattanavichai & Cheng, 2015; Rosas et al, 2022). Furthermore, the use of fruit by-product as phytogenic and immunostimulants in aquatic animals were reported to enhance growth, immunity and resistance to pathogens infection (Saravana et al, 2013; Sun et al, 2014;Chuchird et al, 2017). This is in line with our finding that the highest value of GH, IGFI, β-GBP and Proph genes were observed in shrimps fed the diet with FBP (Fig.…”

Influence of different fermented fruit wastes phytobiotic as feed additive on zootechnical performance, bacteriological analysis, digestive enzymes, and immune response of Litopenaeus vannamei

“…These components demonstrated that it's feasible to incorporate them as a replacement for protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals in aquatic animals' meals to reduce feed expenditures without compromising their quality or hindering growth. In addition, the role of natural feed is to enhance digestive enzymes (Sankar et al, 2011;Labrador et al, 2016) and immune stimulation (Chuchird et al, 2017;Choi et al, 2020), ensure water quality (Amrutha & Shyama, 2018; Rosas et al, 2022) and control the pathogenic microbes (Goba et al, 2018), in addition to stimulating growth in fish and shrimp aquaculture. According to FAO (2022), global fruit production reached 800 million tons, with about 35-45% of wastes which can be reprocessed in the animal and aqua-feed sectors due to substantial nutritive content and plenty of useful components, with an attempt to minimize the negative effects on the environment (Rifna et al, 2021).…”
