effect of dietary supplemented with commercial and autochthonous probiotics bacillus on the feed efficiency and body composition in whiteleg shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) post larvae

Probiotics in Larvae and Juvenile Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Probiotics in the intestinal tract of juvenile whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei: modulation of the bacterial community.

Molecular analysis of the 16S rDNA of the intestinal microbiota of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was examined to investigate the effect of a Bacillus mix (Bacillus endophyticus YC3-b, Bacillus endophyticus C2-2, Bacillus tequilensisYC5-2) and the commercial probiotic (Alibio(®)) on intestinal bacterial communities and resistance to Vibrio infection. PCR and single strain conformation pol...

The effect of different levels of dietary niacin and carbohydrate on growth performance, carcass composition and heamolymph biochemical parameters of juvenile whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

In this study, the effect of experimental diets containing different levels of carbohydrate and niacin on growth indices, carcass composition and heamolymph biochemical parameters of juvenile whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were investigated for 45 days. Shrimp with mean initial weight of 5±0.33 g were reared in 300 liter tanks with 8 treatments. Feeding was performed 4 times a day using...

changes in biochemical body composition of western whiteleg shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) at different stages of growth

the study of changes the amount of protein, lipid, carbohydrates, fiber, ash and moisture of farmed litopenaeus vannamei at different stages of growth was performed. samples at the stages of post larvae 12, shrimp with 1, 2 and 3 months age, grow-out and market shrimp at the end of the period were provided from hatchery and breeding centers in khuzestan province. chemical composition w measured...

Carbohydrate Moieties and Cytoenzymatic Characterization of Hemocytes in Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Hemocytes represent one of the most important defense mechanisms against foreign material in Crustacea and are also involved in a variety of other physiological responses. Fluorescent lectin-binding assays and cytochemical reactions were used to identify specificity and distribution of carbohydrate moieties and presence of several hydrolytic enzymes, in hemocytes of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus ...

Cuticular chitin synthase and chitinase mRNA of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei during the molting cycle

Cuticular chitin synthase and chitinase mRNA of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei during the molting cycle a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Chitin metabolism is of high relevance for shrimp growth because it has to be synthesized and cleaved in each molt. We studied chitin synthase and chitinase mRNAs from whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. For this, cDNA coding for cuticular chitin ...
