Influence of Feed From Genetically Modified Plants on the Composition and Quality of Foods of Animal Origin

Trends in the use of feed and water additives in Egyptian tilapia culture

“…It is now standard practice during feed production for manufacturers (and fish farm operators that formulate their own feed) to add ‘sensory’ additives to improve palatability, ‘technological’ additives such as antioxidants or emulsifiers or zootechnical additives such as enzymes and microorganisms (Flachowsky, 2018). The latter group in particular has grown in popularity with numerous studies demonstrating improved growth performance of reared animals where live cultures (so‐called ‘probiotics’) are added to feed or in culture water (Taoka et al, 2006; Wang et al, 2008; Kesarcodi‐Watson et al, 2008).…”

Isolation and Characterization of Mannanase-Producing Bacteria for Potential Synbiotic Application in Shrimp Farming

“…One of the promising approaches to improve the growth performance and disease resistance of shrimp is functional feed additives [ 8 , 9 ]. Feed additives include immunostimulants, organic acidic essential oils, enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotics [ 10 , 11 ] which are commonly used to promote absorption, immune level, nutrient digestibility, and gut microbial balance [ 12 ]. In particular, gut microbiota has been associated with host health such as host performance and disease resistance in shrimp [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”
