“…Xie et al . () also observed a positive stimulating effect of dietary citric (10 −2 –10 −6 m ), propionic (10 −4 –10 −6 m ) and lactic acids (10 −2 –10 −5 m ) on the feeding responses of juvenile Nile tilapia, while dietary 10 −3 m acetic and propionic acids had repulsive effects. A study with Pacific white shrimp showed that among various Na salts of organic acids (formate, acetate, propionate, lactate, butyrate and citrate), the supplementation of propionate and butyrate salts to a commercial shrimp diet at 2 g kg −1 acted as feed attractants and significantly enhanced feed intake (Silva et al .…”

The use of antibiotics in the feeds of cultured aquatic animals to mitigate infectious diseases or to boost growth performance is commonly practised. In recent years, the prophylactic use of antibiotics has been criticized which eventually led to their ban in animal production by many countries. In view of the current restrictions on antibiotic use, there is a critical need to evaluate alternatives. One potential substitute for antibiotic growth promoters in aquafeeds is organic acids and/or their respective salts. The use of dietary organic acids in the culture of aquatic animals has been the focus of much research and commercial interest recently. This review provides a comprehensive compilation of the current knowledge on the use of organic acids in aquafeeds, with emphasis on its impacts on growth, nutrient utilization, mineral availability, gut microbiota and disease resistance. Many studies have reported that some organic acids can significantly enhance the growth performance and health status of fish. Contradictory results have also been reported, which seems to depend on the aquatic animal species, type and concentrations of organic acids and the culture conditions used. Recent research indicating the beneficial impact of dietary organic acids on shrimp growth and health is highlighted. Possible mechanisms of action of these functional feed additives are discussed. Strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of dietary organic acids are given. This review aims to contribute to the sustainability of global aquaculture production by providing a viable alternative to harmful antibiotics, thereby meeting the growing consumer demand for antibiotic-free seafood products.

“…Fig was known to contain some organic acids such as citric, succinic and tartaric acids (Kim, Lee, Oh & Chung 1992; Kang, Chung & Chung 1994), and dietary supplementation of some organic acids, such as citric, metacetonic and acetic acids improved the storage time and feed utilization (Kumar, Kaller, Bhaskar, Bhandary, Antony, Raju & Biradar 1997; Sugiua, Dong & Hardy 1998). Similarly, Xie, Zhang and Wang (2003) reported that dietary inclusion of citric acid at a concentration of 10 −6 –10 −2 had stimulatory effect on feeding behaviour of Tilapia nilotica .…”

“…The positive effects of LA on beluga growth might arise from the improved digestion of phosphorus from phytic acid due to the increase in intestinal acidity, which would increase the solubility of phosphorus and phytic acid, consequently enhancing the phosphorus absorption at the distal intestine (Ravindran & Kornegay, 1993). It should also be noted that Xie et al (2003) reported that LA improved the palatability of the diet, improved feed consumption and increased the apparent digestibility of nutrients in tilapia. In our study, the addition of 20g/kg LA had a positive effect on beluga growth, although this did not compensate for the negative effects of 700g/kg SBM.…”

“…One of the best additives to achieve this goal is lactic acid (LA). Xie, Zhang, and Wang () demonstrated that LA increased the appetite of the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus , and several studies have shown positive effects of LA on the growth of fish and in increasing the bacterial flora in the gut (Hoseinifar, Ringø, Shenavar Masouleh, & Esteban, ; Sugiura, Gabaudan, Dong, & Hardy, ; Vielma, Mäkinen, Ekholm, & Koskela, ).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement with 0, 350 or 700 g/kg soybean meal (SBM) in combination with the supplementation of lactic acid (LA; 0, 10 or 20 g/kg) in the diets of juvenile beluga sturgeon (Huso huso; 700 ± 30 g). Nine isonitrogenous (400 g/kg protein) and isoenergetic (18 MJ/kg) diets were fed to beluga ad libitum, three times a day, for 60 days. The results showed that replacing FM with SBM without LA significantly reduced fish growth; on the other hand, LA supplementation had positive effects on fish fed diets that FM was replaced by SBM (p < .05). Increasing SBM in the diet altered the fatty acid profiles of the fish, reducing long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and the n‐3/n‐6 fatty acids. High amounts of SBM (700 g/kg) caused reductions in the haematocrit, glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood (p < .05). In addition, the digestibility of protein, fat, dry matter and phosphorus was reduced when replacing FM with SBM, however, adding LA to the diets increased fish performance (p < .05), and this improvement was sharper in 2% LA groups. The number of LA bacteria increased significantly with the dietary supplementation of LA (p < .05). Based on these results, replacing 350 g/kg of FM with SBM and adding 20 g/kg LA to their feed do not negatively affect the biological and physiological indices of beluga.
