Abstract:
... In today's aquaculture, the cost‐intensive and scarce fishmeal is increasingly replaced by plant‐based feedstuff such as soybean meal (SBM). However, SBM contains saponins which can have adverse effects on fish's digestive tract potentially culminating in severe enteritis. In a 60 day feeding trial we studied the use of autochthonous bacteria as probiotics upon SBM supplementation on juvenile turb ...
