A 56 day feeding trial was conducted to examine the effects of different levels dietary histamine on growth performance, immune response, and intestinal health grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ). Seven isonitrogenous (46%), isolipidic (10%) diets were prepared with supplement 0 (T0), 0.05% (T1), 0.1% (T2), 0.15% (T3), 0.2% (T4), 0.25% (T5), 0.3% (T6), respectively. The results showed that supplem...
