“…Piacente et al showed the positive effects of dietary YSE supplementation to different animals on ammonia levels in air ( 38 ). Santacruz-Reyes and Chien reported that the application of YSE in water or feed could reduce the accumulation of ammonia in wastewater discharge during shrimp production ( 39 ). Saeed et al ( 9 ) reported that YSE could mitigate ammonia emissions from poultry manure and promoted animal health and production.…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary Yucca schidigera extract (YSE) supplementation to sow performance, nutrients digestibility and ammonia emission of manure. Total 80 sows were randomly divided into 4 groups and fed with either control, control + 0.06% YSE, control + 0.12% YSE or control + 0.24% YSE diet from day 80 of gestation to day 21 of lactation. The results showed that dietary YSE supplementation resulted in trends toward a reduced number of stillbirth piglets (P = 0.08), weak piglets (P = 0.06), pre-weanling mortality (P = 0.04) and diarrhea (P = 0.03), and improved apparent digestibility of dry matter (P = 0.04). Besides, YSE supplementation significantly increased catalase activity (P = 0.02) while decreasing malonaldehyde levels (P = 0.04) in sow blood. Furthermore, the loss of total nitrogen, urea nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in sow manure were significantly reduced with supplementation of YSE. In summary, supplementation of YSE in sow diet during late gestation and lactation could improve sow and litter performance, nutrient digestibility, and reduce nitrogen loss in sow manure during storage.

“…Water quality particularly ammonia, nitrite and total level of ammonia nitrogen are the primary limiting factors in shrimp survival (Santacruz‐Reyes & Chien ). Better growth and survival may be due to the decreased production of toxic metabolites as a result of biofloculation in zero‐water exchange system which is caused by adding organic carbon source to the system.…”

Effect of different carbon sources on nursery performance of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivated in biofloc system was investigated. Shrimp postlarvae (98.47 AE 8.6 mg) were fed for 32 days in tanks with water volume of 130 L and density of 1 individual L À1 . One control treatment and four biofloc treatments (BFT1, BFT2, BFT3 and BFT4) with adding different carbon sources including molasses, starch, wheat flour and mixture of them, respectively, were considered at equal weight ratios. According to the results, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH were not significantly different among the biofloc treatments (P > 0.05). Maximum pH (8.27) and maximum dissolved oxygen (6.35 mg L À1 ) were recorded in the control. Maximum (0.43 mg L À1 ) and minimum (0.09 mg L À1 ) ammonia were recorded in the control and BFT2, respectively (P < 0.05). Using simple carbohydrates (molasses and starch) lowered the ammonia concentration significantly. The highest increase in body weight (1640.43 AE 231.28 mg), growth rate, specific growth rate (8.97 AE 0.42% per day) and biomass (190.29 AE 26.83 mg) were found in BFT1 and the highest survival (90 AE 0.77%) was found in BFT4. The highest feed conversion (1.52 AE 0.23) and the lowest feed efficiency (66.81 AE 7.95) were observed in the control (P < 0.05). The proximate composition analysis revealed an increase in lipid and ash in biofloc treatments. Results indicated that using biofloc technology with zero-water exchange system and adding carbon sources could help to recycle waste and improve the water quality. Moreover, the type of carbonaceous organic matter as a substrate for heterotrophic bacteria would be effective in degradation and metabolization of ammonia and nitrite.

“…Nitrogen compounds are considered the main limiting factor for the survival of cultivated aquaculture organisms (Barbieri, 2010;Xian et al, 2011;Santacruz-Reyes and Chien, 2012), after dissolved oxygen. These compounds present in water, especially total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) (NH 3 + NH 4 ), are originated from unconsumed feed and from protein catabolism (El-Sayed, 2006;Crab et al, 2007).…”

This trial aimed to evaluate the growth performance and hematological parameters of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) GIFT strain during nursery using different stock densities in a biofloc system. The experiment was conducted in circular tanks (400 L) with sexually reversed fish, weighing 6.74 ± 0.37 g, over a period of 35 days. Five treatments with three replicates each were used in a completely randomized design. The treatments were as follows: T1 (200 fishes m-3); T2 (300 fishes m-3); T3 (400 fishes m-3); T4 (500 fishes m-3), and T5 (600 fishes m-3). The fishes were fed four times a day, following a feed table for this species, with adjustments according to fish biomass. The water quality parameters total ammoniacal nitrogen, and unionized ammonia showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the treatments with lower (T1) and higher stocking densities (T4, T5). Alkalinity was significantly higher in treatments with higher densities (T4 and T5). For hematological parameters, the number of thrombocytes was higher in T5. Hemoglobin concentration was significantly lower in T5 than in T3. The best productive indexes were found in T4, presenting final biomass of 9915.16 ± 14.80 g m-3 , apparent feed conversion rate of 1.11 ± 0.02, mean survival of 95.75 ± 0.75%, and daily mean weight gain of 0.43 ± 0.07 g. Overall, the Nile tilapia nursery in a biofloc system showed higher individual growth at densities up to 300 fishes m-3 and increased stocking density up to 500 fishes m-3 .
