Summary: This study evaluated the effect of dietary rapeseed meal (RM) and hydrolyzable tannin on grass carp and determined the possible role of tannin on health when RM was added to the diet. The findings showed that a certain proportion of RM and tannin induced oxidative stress and intestinal inflammation in grass carp.

Summary: This study examined the effects of extruded soy-bean meal (ESBM) compared to canola meal (CM) on lactational performance and ruminal fermentation of dairy cows. The results showed that there were no significant differences in dry matter intake, milk yield, and feed efficiency between the two diets.

Summary: The effects of mild pretreatment and fungal fermentation on the nutritional characteristics of hexane extracted canola meal (HECM) were examined. The study found that water washing and fermentation can improve the protein and amino acid content of HECM and reduce the levels of antinutritional factors (ANFs). Different strains of fungi showed varied reduction in ANFs.

Summary: This study reveals significant differences in the structure and protein composition of the egg envelopes of common carp adhesive eggs and grass carp semi-buoyant eggs, with common carp eggs having a thicker egg envelope and adhesive layer. Proteomic changes in common carp adhesive eggs after fertilization suggest a role in cell and fish egg morphology maintenance. Proteins upregulated in common carp adhesive eggs after fertilization, such as coagulation factor XIII A, zona pellucida proteins, and cystatin, may play a role in egg envelope hardening and embryonic development protection. Additionally, higher levels of alpha-2-macroglobulin-like protein in fertilized common carp eggs indicate potential for effective immune defense.

Summary: This study aims to find an efficient method to incorporate plant protein into fish sausage. The results show that using a pre-emulsification system to combine plant protein with fish meat significantly improves the quality of the fish sausage, with the co-precipitated dual protein performing the best.

Summary: A series of studies found that fish residue meal (FRM) can be used as a complete replacement for fish meal (FM) in the diet of red sea bream without compromising growth performance and health status. This research has important implications for achieving sustainability in the aquaculture industry.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-carbohydrate (HC) diet on the growth, serum biochemistry, and gene expression profiles of grass carp muscle tissue. The HC diet had negative effects on muscle growth and caused excessive fat accumulation in the carp's tissues. Analysis of DNA methylation and gene transcription revealed several differentially methylated regions and differentially expressed genes in muscle. These genes were mainly involved in processes such as cell differentiation, muscle contraction, and lipid phosphorylation. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of the HC diet on muscle growth in grass carp.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of adding plant extracts to fish diet on the growth and meat quality of common carp. The results showed that the inclusion of wheat grass juice and barley grass juice stimulated growth and improved meat quality. The positive effects could be attributed to the rich composition of the juices, including unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, sugars, and organic compounds.

Summary: The study found that appropriate supplementation of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) based on vegetable meal diet can enhance the growth performance, muscle flavor components, and sensory characteristics of on-growing grass carp. It also determined the suitable levels of GAA supplementation for improving muscle DHA, pH, and firmness in grass carp.
