Enhancing Aquaculture Nutrition: An Exploration of Feed Additives
Sadwani P. Varangia* and M.K. Yadav
Abstract
Feed additives are one of the most important components that indirectly improve fish production by enhancing the quality, health and growth of fish. Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, amino acids, exogenous enzymes, antioxidants, antibiotics, essential fatty acids and pellet binders are some of the feed additives commonly used in aquaculture. These feed additives are used for various purposes such as preservatives, binders, feeding stimulants, growth enhancement and food colorants. The dosage of feed additives used in aquaculture varies depending on the life stages of the fish, the types of additives used and the types of species cultured. Government agencies and organizations ensure safety, environmental sustainability, and product quality using feed additives in aquaculture.
