“…In this study, both growth rate and feed efficiency were enhanced by dietary taurine addition vs taurine‐free groups. This finding supported previous observations on rice field eel (Hu et al, 2018), meagre (de Moura et al, 2018), and yellowfin seabream (Dehghani et al, 2020). Furthermore, the feed intake was promoted by the dietary taurine addition in this and the previous studies with the same fish species (Zhou et al, 2015), indicating that enhanced feed palatability increases growth, also observed in red sea bream (Takagi et al, 2011), rice field eel (Hu et al, 2018) and golden pompano (Ma et al, 2021).…”

“…The weight and length of fish from the four groups were measured individually after the third week (after the fasting episode) and after eight weeks (after the re-feeding episode). For determining the effects of FA and RF strategies on somatic indices, antioxidant, and digestive enzymes, after finishing the RF episode (eighth week), six fish of each tank were sacrificed with an overdose of 2-phenoxyethanol (0.5 ml L -1 ) (Merck, Schuchardt, Germany; Dehghani et al, 2020) to measure their liver and viscera weights. In addition, the liver and the whole gut of the sacrificed fish were dissected on ice and snap-frozen with liquid nitrogen, then were kept in a freezer (−80 °C).…”

An eight-week research was carried out to examine the influence of fasting (FA) and refeeding (RF) episodes on the compensatory growth responses (CGR) in sobaity (Sparidentex hasta, 10 g) and yellowfin seabreams (Acanthopagrus latus, 4.3 g) juveniles. Fish were fed with a commercial feed (contained 500 g kg−1 crude protein and 150 g kg−1 crude lipid) as following regimes: control (C, fish were fed three times every day), T1 (two weeks of feeding, one week of FA, and five weeks of RF), T2 (one week of feeding, two weeks of FA and five weeks of RF) and T3 (three weeks of FA and five weeks of RF). Two hundred and forty S. hasta juveniles were stocked into twelve 300-L tanks (20 fish tank−1), and 360 A. latus juveniles were allocated into other 12 tanks (30 fish tank−1). Each treatment was carried out in triplicates for each species, and each tank held only one of the species. The experiment was carried out for both species simultaneously. The weight and length of fish from the four groups were measured individually after the third week (after FA episode) and after eight weeks (after RF episode). After finishing the RF episode (eighth week), six fish of each tank were sacrificed with an overdose of 2-phenoxyethanol (1000 mg L−1), and the liver and the whole gut of the sacrificed fish were sampled, dissected, and then kept in a freezer (−80 °C) until further analyses. Survival rate was decreased in S. hasta juveniles with increasing the FA period mainly due to their cannibalistic behavior, which was triggered by starvation, but it was not affected in A. latus. The fasted groups in both species were significantly lost their weight after FA episodes. After five weeks of RF, S. hasta showed full compensatory growth response; meanwhile A. latus had a partial compensatory response (P<0.05). Hepatosomatic index value decreased after the FA period in both species, but it was restored to the normal level after RF phase. The activities of liver catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione peroxidase were increased in T2 group in S. hasta, but liver antioxidant enzymes were not affected in A. latus. In both species, the amount of the lipid peroxidation was significantly increased in the liver of fish groups subjected to T2 or T3 compared to T1 and control groups (P < 0.05). Liver alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in S. hasta fasted for two weeks were higher than the other groups. The activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, α-amylase, and lipase in S. hasta fasted for a week (T1) were higher than control. In addition, the activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin in A. latus fasted for two or three weeks were lower than C and T1 groups. The activity of ALP was increased with increasing FA period in both species. The findings of the present study showed that single-phase FA episodes reduce survival and induce oxidative stress in S. hasta juveniles; meanwhile A. latus juveniles did not show complete compensatory growth after RF episode.

“…In addition, taurine can protect mitochondrial cell integrity and respiration and regulate protein synthesis in this organelle, which consequently augments the electron transport chain activity and protects the mitochondria from generation of superoxide radicals (Chian et al, 2012). Roghayeh et al (2020) reported that supplementing diets with crystalline taurine up to 12.5 g/kg significantly improved antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased the lipid peroxidation ratio in the liver, and 15.6 g/kg taurine level remarkably reduced the liver antioxidant activities and increased the MDA content, which could be due to possible disorders in hepatic glutathione synthesis as a consequence of the liver malfunction. In this study, we found that dietary supplementation with taurine could improve the activity of SOD, enhance T-AOC and reduce the content of MDA in serum, which were consistent with the above research results.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with taurine on production performance, serum biochemistry, immunoglobulin, antioxidant and hormones of Angora rabbits. A total of 160 8-month-old Angora rabbits with similar body weight were randomly assigned to one of four dietary groups, with 40 animals per group. The dietary groups consisted of the following different taurine supplementation levels: 0 (control), 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% (air-dry basis). The 73-d feeding trial (from July 31 to October 11, 2016 in China) included a 7-d adjustment period and a 66-d experimental period. The results showed that taurine dietary supplementation had effects on feed consumption, hair follicle density and wool yield of the Angora rabbits (P<0.05), and adding 0.2% taurine could improve the wool yield. Compared with the control group, serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels in supplemented groups were decreased (P<0.05). Dietary supplementation with taurine could improve the activity of superoxide dismutase, enhance total antioxidant capacity and reduce the content of malondialdehyde in serum (P<0.05). Besides, the serum level of thyroid (T4) hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 in experimental groups was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, taurine dietary supplementation could reduce the lipid metabolism, enhance the antioxidant capacity and hormone level of Angora rabbits, and adding 0.2% taurine could achieve the effect of increasing wool production.
