Effects of X-xylanase Incorporated in the Diet on the Growth Performance of Red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.)

Secretory expression and characterization of xylanase isolated from Bacillus subtilis E20 increase the utilization of plant ingredients in tilapia feed

“…Saputra et al () indicated that dietary supplementation with xylanase‐expressing B. amyloliquefaciens R8 facilitated growth and enhanced immunity in Nile tilapia. In addition, Cheng et al () showed that the addition of X‐xylanase (Hostazym ® , Huvepharma) to a tilapia diet improved feed utilization and consequently enhanced growth among the fish. Based on the results of our previous study, Tilapia fed the D40 diet (containing 33% duckweed meal) did not differ significantly in terms of feed efficiency but exhibited decreased final weight and weight gain compared with the controls (Lin et al, ).…”

“…Recently, the use of exogenous carbohydrases in aquafeed has attracted attention. Multiple responses have addressed the use of exogenous carbohydrases as supplements to improve feed intake, improve growth and nutrient digestibility, and enhance immunity (Castillo & Gatlin, ; Cheng, Chi, & Liu, ; Goda, Mabrouk, Wafa, & El‐Afifi, ; Jiang et al, ; Lin, Mai, & Tan, ; Saputra et al, ).…”

Xylanases from marine microorganisms: A brief overview on scope, sources, features and potential applications

“…The use of feed formulations that include xylanases to improve the nutrient availability has been extensively reported in the poultry and livestock industries, yet reports about its application in aquaculture are relatively scarce. Cheng and co-workers and Maas and co-workers have recently established that the addition of exogenous xylanase in feed improves nutrient utilization by tilapia and results in improved fish growth [137,138].…”
