Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver scientific opinion L‐lysine sulfate produced by fermentation with genetically modified strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum (CGMCC 7.453) when as nutritional additive feed for all animal species. The active substance is L‐lysine. FEEDAP concluded that production qualifies qualified presumption safety (QPS) approach assessment; therefore,...
A microencapsulated feed additive composed by garlic, carvacrol and thymol essential oils (EOs) was evaluated regarding its protective effect in gills parasitized Sparicotyle chrysophrii Sparus aurata. nutritional trial (65 days) followed a cohabitation challenge with fish (39 were performed. Transcriptomic analysis microarrays of fed the EOs diet showed an up-regulation genes related to biogenesis, vesicular transport exocytosis, leukocyte-mediated immunity, oxidation-reduction overall...
From a general structural perspective, mucosal tissue is constituted by two main matrices: the and secreted mucus. Jointly, they fulfill wide range of functions including protection epithelial layer. In this study, we simultaneously analyzed mucus response using holistic interactome-based multi-omics approach. The effect gilthead sea bream ( Sparus aurata ) skin mucosa to dietary inclusion spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) was evaluated. microarrays-based transcriptome data showed 194...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver scientific opinion on safety of 41 compounds provide Herbal flavour and belonging different chemical groups, when used as sensory additives in feed for all animal species. Fourteen out were tested tolerance studies chickens fattening, piglets, cattle fattening Atlantic salmon. No adverse effects observed at 10-fold intended level. The Panel Additives Products or Substances Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that 14 safe...
Abstract Background The development of a sustainable business model with social acceptance, makes necessary to develop new strategies guarantee the growth, health, and well-being farmed animals. Debaryomyces hansenii is yeast species that can be used as probiotic in aquaculture due its capacity i) promote cell proliferation differentiation, ii) have immunostimulatory effects, iii) modulate gut microbiota, and/or iv) enhance digestive function. To provide inside into effects D. on juveniles...

Abstract Background The identification of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt) expression patterns during development and their regulation is important to understand the epigenetic mechanisms that modulate larval plasticity in marine fish. In this study, dnmt1 dnmt3 paralogs were identified flatfish Solea senegalensis early developmental stages juveniles determined. Additionally, Dnmt transcription by a specific inhibitor (5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine) temperature was evaluated. Results Five paralog...
A nutritional study was conducted to evaluate the inclusion of green microalga Scenedesmus sp. at 5% (SCE-5) as an alternative fishmeal ingredient. This tested with four replicates during 45 days using isolipidic (18%), isoproteic (48%), and isoenergetic (1.9 MJ kg−1) diets.
