Evaluation of Selenoprotein Supplementation on Digestibility, Growth, and Health Performance of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Abstract

Selenoprotein is a feed additive that can overcome oxidative stress in intensive Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture. This study evaluated the effects of selenoprotein supplementation at various doses on Pacific white shrimp’s digestibility, growth, and health performance. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design consisting of four feed treatments, namely, control and treatments with selenoprotein supplementation of 2.5, 5, and 7.5 g kg feed-1 with four replications. Shrimps (1.5 g) were reared for 70 days and challenged for 14 days by the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus (107 CFU mL-1). Shrimps used in the digestibility performance evaluation (6.1 g) were reared until sufficient quantities of feces were collected for analysis. Shrimp supplemented with selenoprotein exhibited superior digestibility, growth, and health performance compared to the control ( P < 0.05 ). The use of selenoprotein at a dose of 7.5 g kg of feed-1 (2.72 mg Se kg of feed-1) was considered the most effective for increasing productivity and preventing disease attacks in intensive shrimp culture.

Dietary Supplementation of Organic Zn Improves Digestive Enzyme Activities, Antioxidant Response, and Growth Performance of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis sp

“…Respiratory burst (RB) is a defense process that enhances immunity by releasing a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to combat pathogens. The release of ROS needs to be accompanied by antioxidant activity to counteract excessive ROS, maintaining a balance between body protection against pathogens and tissue damage protection (Kemal et al, 2023). The results of this study indicate that Zn supplementation at doses of 20 and 40 mg kg -1 feed signi cantly increases RB compared to the control and other dose treatments.…”

“…Then, an increase in THC occurred on day 7 and then decreased again on days 14 to 21, followed by an increase on day 28. The increase in THC values on day 7 post-challenge test is due to the infection of V. parahaemolyticus bacteria in a critical phase, causing hemocyte cells to react to the body's defense mechanism consisting of pathogen recognition, phagocytosis, melanization, cytotoxicity, and cell communication in ghting pathogens (Azhar and Yudiati 2023;Dhewang et al 2023;Kemal et al 2023), and the increase on day 28 is presumably because the shrimp's body has returned to normal, thus it is able to produce hemocyte cells again. There are also parameters of shrimp's immune defense system that can be observed, namely phagocytosis activity (AF), which is the ability of non-speci c immune response cells to phagocytose disease agents entering the body.…”

“…White shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) is one of the most valuable aquaculture commodities globally because of its high nutritional and economic value. 1 In China, the production of P. vannamei has increased significantly over the last 3 years, and reached 2.09 million tons in 2022. 2 The proportion of dried shrimp in the shrimp products market has increased year by year, as they are easy to transport, eat and store, and the unique flavor produced after drying is also one of the main reasons for their popularity.…”
