Functional Feed for Better Food
The rapid growth of the aquaculture industry has been accompanied by an increase in the need for suitable alternatives to fish meal as a source of protein. These sources mainly include soybean meal, grain gluten and other vegetable protein sources, which lead to a decrease in performance, especially in carnivorous species, due to the imbalance of amino acids, the presence of anti-nutritional compounds and low palatability. Autolyzed yeast and its components, especially nucleotides, peptides, amino acids, beta-glucan and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS), while reducing the negative effects of plant protein sources, will help improve the performance of the aquatic immune system.
