Summary: The study demonstrates that fermented soybean meal can replace fish meal protein without negative effects on growth and hepatopancreas morphology in white shrimp. A replacement level of 75% is recommended to enhance innate immune responses and nutrient digestibility for white shrimp.

Summary: Reducing fishmeal usage in shrimp feed by incorporating Shewanella sp. MR-7 with FSBM can effectively maintain shrimp growth performance. However, replacing fishmeal with a higher level of FSBM (above 45%) may lead to changes in intestinal microbiota composition and reduced resistance to ammonia stress.

Summary: This experiment assessed the possibility of replacing fishmeal with corn gluten meal in the diet of white shrimps. Results showed that when the replacement rate reached 30%, it had significant effects on the growth, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity, and nutrient digestibility of the shrimp. In conclusion, the optimal dietary replacement rate was found to be 27.47%.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of replacing soybean meal with fermented cottonseed meal (FCSM) in low fishmeal diets on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immune capacity, digestive enzyme activities, and intestinal microbiota of Litopenaeus vannamei. The study finds that replacing 75% of soybean meal with FCSM improves the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and essential amino acid content of L. vannamei.

Summary: The study demonstrated that FCPC can effectively replace fish meal in the diets of Pacific white shrimps without compromising growth and survival rates. This success is attributed to the probiotic properties of FCPC and the availability of bio-convertible carotenoids in the product.

Summary: The experiment showed that wet-heat treatment for 15 minutes resulted in the highest nutrient digestibility. Increasing the heating time of cottonseed meal to 30 minutes significantly improved the absorption rate of iron. Different heating times had varying effects on the digestibility of different mineral elements.

Summary: The study found that fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) has positive effects on the growth performance and intestinal health of growing pigs. It improves average daily gain, apparent digestibility, and nutrient utilization, increases the expression of genes related to intestinal barrier function, and reduces the abundance of harmful bacteria while increasing beneficial bacteria.

Summary: The study found that Chinese soybean meal showed better growth performance in the diet of Pacific white shrimp, compared to Brazilian soybean meal. However, the growth performances of shrimp fed soybean meal from the USA, Argentina, and India were not significantly different from that of Chinese and Brazilian soybean meal. There were no significant differences in dry matter, energy, and protein digestibility coefficients among soybean meal from different countries.

Summary: Two digestibility experiments were conducted with Barramundi Lates calcarifer using indirect techniques and the reference diet substitution method. Results showed that the dry matter and energy ADC's of SBM were adversely affected by inclusion level, while the protein ADC remained relatively high. SPC was found to be more digestible than SBM.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adding bile acids to a low fishmeal diet on the growth, nutrient utilization, and serum biochemical parameters of Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that the addition of bile acids can improve the growth performance and nutrient utilization of the shrimp in the low fishmeal diet group.

Summary: Three experiments were conducted to compare the digestible, metabolizable energy, and standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids in fermented corn germ meal (FCGM) and soybean meal (SBM), and evaluate the effects of FCGM replacing SBM in growing pig diets. The results showed that FCGM had lower digestible and metabolizable energy compared to SBM. The inclusion of FCGM in pig diets improved the growth performance, immune function, and intestinal microbiota of growing pigs.

Summary: Aquaculture, an important source of nutrition, may be contaminated by anthropogenic particles present in commercially-sourced feedstocks such as fishmeal and soybean meal. The study found that both fishmeal and soybean meals contained anthropogenic particles, which could lead to farmed fish being exposed to significant amounts of microplastics and fibers.

Summary: Accurate measurement of apparent digestibility (AD) is crucial in assessing the nutritive value of aquaculture ingredients. This study compared three different methods of collecting faeces and found that traditional methods may overestimate the protein and amino acid AD in shrimp ingredients.
