“…On the other hand, diets containing too little binder may not be adequately water stable, resulting in deterioration of water quality and loss of valuable dietary nutrients (Meyers, Butlers & Hastings 1972). Binder type and binder strength are likely to play important roles in determining the attractiveness and digestibility of MBD.…”

Using 14 C-labelled microbound diets (MBD), ®ve different binders were assessed for ingestion, assimilation and assimilation ef®ciency (AE) when fed to 18 day-old barramundi Lates calcarifer Bloch larvae. MBD bound with alginate and zein were ingested to the highest degree; however, the AE of these two diets was low. Diets bound with gelatin and carrageenan exhibited high AE, although ingestion was signi®cantly lower than for alginate-and zeinbound diets. Combining two binders with different ingestion and assimilation characteristics was investigated as a means of improving diet performance. A diet bound with a 1:1 ratio of gelatin and alginate resulted in greater ingestion than MBD bound with gelatin alone and a higher AE than MBD bound with alginate alone. A third experiment investigated the effects of decreasing binder concentration on ingestion, assimilation and nutrient leaching. Alginate and gelatin were tested at concentrations of 1%, 2% and 3% of the dry weight of the MBD. No signi®cant differences were detected in the ingestion or assimilation rates of the diets bound with different binder concentrations. Leaching losses from MBD containing 1% binder were signi®cantly higher than those bound with 2% or 3% binder. It was concluded that either gelatin or carrageenan at 2±3% inclusion would be a suitable binder in weaning diets for barramundi larvae.

“…They do not have a capsule and it is suggested that this facilitates greater digestibility and increased attraction through greater nutrient leaching (Partridge and Southgate, 1999). Many different binders have been used in MBD's including polysaccharides from seaweed such as agar, carrageenan and alginate and proteins such as zein and gelatine (Meyers et al, 1972;Hashim and Mat Saat, 1992). Binders vary considerably in their nutritional value and binding characteristics and the choice of binder can significantly influence the MBD's stability in water, rate of ingestion and nutrient assimilation (Partridge and Southgate, 1999).…”

“…High leaching rates constitute direct economic losses and may cause deterioration of water quality (Meyers, Butler, & Hastings, 1972). Being highly water-soluble silage may also destabilize the pellet.…”

Hydrolysed salmon meal as a replacement for salmon meal in practical diets for Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei )

et al. 2019

A series of growth, feed stability and consumption trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of salmon by‐product in practical diets for Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. This included a salmon by‐product meal (Salmon meal: SM) and a silage hydrolysate (hydrolysed salmon meal: HSM). The basal diet containing 120 g/kg SM was incrementally replaced (0. 25, 50, 75, 100%) by HSM to produce five test diets used in two trials. A sixth diet was included which evaluated gelatin supplementation (trial 1) or pH neutralization (trial 2). In trial 1, each diet was produced using two processing conditions (laboratory extruded and formed with meat grinder) and offered to shrimp in a clear water system. The results demonstrate that up to 50% of the SM can be used to replace with HSM; however, further increases resulted in reduced performance of shrimp. The addition of gelatin reduced leaching but there was limited effect of processing on leaching. There were no detectible effects of pH adjustment of the diets. Results indicated that the growth performance of shrimp has not influenced by HSM up to 60 g/kg to replace 50% of the SM in practical diets; however, higher levels resulted in significant decrease in performance.
