The effect of replacement of fish meal by yeast extract on the digestibility,growth and muscle composition of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Feeding trials were conducted to determine the dietary level of yeast extract (YE) for replacing dietary fish meal for evaluating whether yeast extract was superior to intact yeast as an alternative protein source for shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The basal diet (control, D0, containing 25% fish meal), was compared with five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets [replacing 15% (D15), 30% (D30), 45% (D45), 60% (D60) or 100% (D100) of the fish meal in the basal diet with IYE]. The digestibility, growth and muscle composition of the shrimp were measured. The results showed that all replacement treatments displayed higher apparent digestibility of crude protein than did the control. The trypsinase activity in shrimp hepatopancreas increased significantly, whereas lipase activity decreased as the amount of dietary YE increased. The shrimp treated with D30 diet displayed the highest amylase activity in hepatopancreas. There was no significant difference in the weight gain (WG) and survival of shrimp between the control and the YE replacement treatments. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) increased as the dietary YE increased, and the FCRs of the D60 and the D100 treatments were significantly higher than that of the control (P < 0.05). The growth performance among the treatments was closely related to the similarity of the essential amino acids in the diets. There was no significant difference in muscle composition of the shrimp between control and other treatments. In conclusion, up to approximately 45% of the fish meal in shrimp diet can be replaced by yeast extract in the presence of supplemental fish oil, phosphorus and calcium.     

Effects of replacement of fish meal with fermented cottonseed meal on growth performance,body composition and haemolymph indexes of Pacific white shrimp,Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931

A feeding trial was performed for 28 days to evaluate the effects of replacement of fish meal (FM) with fermented cottonseed meal (FCM) on growth, body composition and haemolymph indexes of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei. Four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated by using FCM (96.4, 206, 317 and 417 g kg^?1) to substitute 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of FM in a control diet respectively. Each diet was randomly allotted to four tanks with 20 shrimp per tank. The feeding trail was conducted in an indoor flow‐through aquaculture system. Shrimp fed diets containing 317 and 417 g kg^?1 of FCM obtained lower (P < 0.05) final weight, weight gain, specific growth ratio, protein efficiency ratio as well as a higher (P < 0.05) feed conversion ratio compared with shrimp fed the control diet. The body ash content decreased (P < 0.05) in shrimp fed the diet with complete replacement of FM than those in other treatments. Moreover, increasing the dietary inclusion of FCM linearly raised (P < 0.05) the concentrations of total gossypol, (?) and (+) gossypol enantiomers in the whole shrimp body. No difference (P > 0.05) was observed in haematological parameters among the treatments. The results suggest that up to 50% of FM can be replaced by FCM without adverse effects on growth and feed utilization of L. vannamei.     

Incorporation of a mixture of meat and bone meal,poultry by‐product meal,blood meal and corn gluten meal as a replacement for fish meal in practical diets of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei at two dietary protein levels

A 6‐week feeding trial was carried out in glass tanks to determine the effects of partial replacement of fish meal (FM) with a combination of meat and bone meal (MBM), poultry by‐product meal (PBM), blood meal (BM) and corn gluten meal (CGM) in practical diets on the growth, nutrient digestibility and body composition of Pacific white shrimp. Six practical diets were formulated, containing two levels of crude protein (CP) (330 and 380 g kg^?1) and similar crude lipid (CL) levels. For the 330 g kg^?1 dietary protein level, 0, 357 and 714 g kg^?1 FM were replaced by the mixture in Diets 1–3, respectively; while 0, 514 and 784 g kg^?1 FM were replaced in Diets 4–6, respectively, for 380 g kg^?1 dietary protein level. White shrimp‐fed diets containing 330 g kg^?1 CP had significantly lower weight gain compared with white shrimp fed diets containing 380 g kg^?1 CP. Increasing the mixture and dietary protein level significantly raised the body ash content of white shrimp. White shrimp fed a low‐protein diet obtained better nutrient digestibility compared with those fed a high‐protein diet.     

Utilization of corn gluten meal as a protein source in the diet of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

A 57‐day feeding trial was designed to assess the potential of corn gluten meal (CGM) as a plant protein source in practical feeds for white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Five experimental diets providing 350 g kg^?1 protein and 110 g kg^?1 lipid were prepared, where 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of fishmeal (FM) protein was substituted by protein from CGM. The results showed that partial or complete replacement of FM with CGM did not affect survival. The growth of the shrimp declined as the levels of CGM increased, diets containing CGM showing a significantly lower final weight (3.2–5.9 g) and specific growth rates (1.7–2.7% per day) compared to those fed on the diet with 0 CGM (7.1 g and 3.0% per day). Feed conversion ratio was also significantly affected by CGM level. The inclusion of CGM resulted in a statistical decrease in the apparent digestibility (AD) of dry matter from 77.9% to 66.0% and in AD of protein from 80.5% to 52.0%, of feed. The AD of amino acids, with the exception of lysine, declined with the dietary incorporation of CGM. In summary, reduced palatability, low protein digestibility and a deficiency of lysine and methionine seem to be the major reasons behind a depressed growth in shrimp fed on CGM protein‐based diets.     

Effects of spray‐dried blood cell meal with microencapsulated methionine substituting fish meal on the growth,nutrient digestibility and amino acid retention of Litopenaeus vannamei

The effect of substitution of fish meal (FM) by spray‐dried blood cell meal (SBCM) with microencapsulated dl ‐methionine supplementation in trial diets for Litopenaeus vannamei was evaluated. Six isonitrogenous (320 g kg^?1) and isolipidic (85 g kg^?1) diets were formulated to feed shrimp (2.3±0.2 g shrimp^?1) for 56 days. Shrimp were fed with six diets in which FM protein was gradually replaced by SBCM protein (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% in diets 0–5). Growth performances and feed utilization of shrimp fed diets containing 0%, 3.5%, 7.0% and 10.5% SBCM protein were not significantly different (P>0.05). Growth, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio of shrimp fed diets (80 and 100% FM substitution) were significantly poorer compared with other treatments (P<0.05). With increased levels of dietary SBCM, apparent digestibility coefficient of dry matter, crude protein enhanced from 76.9% to 82.3%, 84.8% to 89.0%, but crude lipid decreased from 90.6% to 88.3% respectively. The carcass composition values were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the replacement level of FM, except lipid. There were no significantly differences (P>0.05) in amino acid retentions among Diets 0–3. The results suggest that the dietary FM protein could efficiently be substituted by SBCM up to 60%, without adverse effects on the growth of L. vannamei.     

Partial replacement of fish meal with peanut meal in practical diets for the Pacific white shrimp,Litopenaeus vannamei

In this study, we replaced fish meal with peanut meal (PM) in isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets for Pacific white shrimp at inclusion levels of 0, 70, 140, 210, 280 and 350 g kg^?1. The diets were hand‐fed to three independent groups of shrimp three times a day over a 6‐week period. Shrimp fed PM diets at a level of 280 g kg^?1 or higher had lower per cent weight gain compared with those fed the basal diet, whereas shrimp fed PM diets at 140 g kg^?1 or higher had a lower feed utilization and protein efficiency ratio compared with shrimp fed the basal diet. The feeding rate in shrimp fed PM diets at 350 g kg^?1 and the survival and protease activity in shrimp fed PM diets at 210 g kg^?1 or higher were lower than that in shrimp fed the basal diet. Diets containing 280 g kg^?1 or higher of PM caused an increase in the whole‐body moisture content of the shrimp, but decreased whole‐body protein and ash contents compared with the basal diet. Nutrient digestibility was lower or tended to be lower in shrimp fed a PM diet compared with those fed the basal diet. The activities of peroxidase and acid and alkaline phosphatases in plasma decreased with increasing levels of PM inclusion up to 210 g kg^?1. Superoxide dismutase activity decreased at dietary PM levels of 280 g kg^?1 or higher. Aflatoxin B₁ residue in the muscle was not affected by any of the treatments and remained low. The data suggest that up to 140 g kg^?1 of PM could be included in practical diets for Pacific white shrimp.
