Dietary taurine supplementation enhances growth and nutrient digestibility in giant grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus fed a diet with soybean meal

The alleviative effects of taurine supplementation on growth, antioxidant enzyme activities, hepatopancreas morphology and mRNA expression of heat shock proteins in freshwater prawn Macrobrachium nipponense (De Haan) exposed to dietary lead stress

“…Thus, the survival rate of M. nipponense may not be a sufficiently sensitive indicator of chronic lead exposure through either the water or diet. Previous studies have suggested that an appropriate addition of taurine can improve growth performance in some animals (Han et al, 2020;Lin and Lu, 2020). However, our data did not suggest a growth-promoting effect of taurine under dietary lead stress, which might be related to the amount of taurine supplementation and/or to the different metabolic systems of the experimental animals.…”

Taurine supplementation enhances the replacement level of fishmeal by soybean concentrate in diets of juvenile Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931)

“…Replacing FM by SBM in white shrimp has been conducted (Abdel Rahman et al, 2010; Huang et al, 2017; Shiu et al, 2015). Haemolymph parameters and immune responses were used to judge the health of aquatic animals fed low FM diet and taurine (Lin & Lu, 2020; Zhang et al, 2010).…”

Comparison of selenomethionine and hydroxyselenomethionine on tissue selenium retention, and antioxidative capacity of giant grouper, Epinephelus lanceolatus , fed diet with soybean meal

“…The control diet was incorporated with 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 mg Se/kg of selenomethionine (Availa ® Se, Zinpro, USA; 0.3 SeMet, 0.6 SeMet and 1.0 SeMet) and hydroxyselenomethionine (Selisseo ® , Adisseo, France; 0.3 OH-SeMet, 0.6 OH-SeMet and 1.0 OH-SeMet), respectively. The FM protein replacement level (40%) was referred to our previous studies (Lin & Cheng, 2017;Lin & Lu, 2020), which found that the level caused poor growth for giant grouper. The reference diet containing 580.5 g/kg fish meal (Pesquera Diamante, Peru) as the main protein source was used for comparison.…”

“…Soybean meal (SBM) shows the advantages of stable yield, rather low price and better amino acid composition, compared with other plant protein feedstuffs (NRC, 2011). High levels of replacement of FM by SBM in the diet of giant grouper have been demonstrated to induce enteritis and oxidative stress and to depress growth performance and nutrient digestibility (Lin & Cheng, 2017;Lin & Lu, 2020). These negative effects were possibly influenced by nutritive imbalance and antinutritional factors in SBM.…”
