A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary bile acids (BA) on growth, glucose and lipid metabolism, liver histopathology underlying regulation mechanism AKT/FOXO1 cAMP/AMPK/SREBP1 pathway in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fed with a high starch diet. Six experimental diets were prepared BA levels at 0 (B0), 80 (B80), 160 (B160), 240 (B240), 300 (B300) 600 (B600) mg/kg basal diet 18.7% starch. Each 6 replicates 30 fish (6.17 ± 0.03 g) each tank. The...

Abstract Aquaculture has been the fastest‐growing food production sector and is considered to be so in future. However, aquaculture feed heavily dependent on wild‐captured forage fish, which unsustainable, costly non‐ecofriendly. Hence, development of sustainable, eco‐friendly, cost‐effective nutrient‐balanced novel fishmeal alternatives critical satisfying forecasted expansion aquaculture. Among alternatives, attention one‐carbon gas protein (C1GP) reached an unprecedented level recently....

Abstract A meta‐analysis of literature data on essential amino acid (EAA) requirements fish and crustaceans was performed to re‐estimate EAA provide ideal profiles. Large numbers studies have been conducted over the past decades. However, estimated different species showed a large variation due differences in methodological approaches regression models. An extensive search inclusion were following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses guidelines this study, resulting...

Abstract A short-term 2-week (2w) and long-term 8-week (8w) feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of low-starch (LS) high-starch (HS) diets on growth performance, metabolism liver health largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ). Two isonitrogenous isolipidic containing two levels starch (LS, 9·06 %; HS, 13·56 %) were fed bass. The results indicated that HS diet had no significant specific rate during 2w, whereas significantly lowered at 8w. increased hepatic glycolysis...

This study investigated the effect of extruded feed physical pellet quality (PPQ) on physiological response spotted seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus). Two batches pellets with same formula but contrasting PPQ were produced by extrusion. The contrast in was created applying two levels water (14% versus 20%) into mixture prior to resulted a low-water addition treatment (LW) short hydration time high-water (HW) long time. Fish (average weight, 159 g) fed satiation twice daily for 48 days. Faeces...

Cottonseed protein concentrate is a sustainable fishmeal alternative in aquafeed. A 10-week experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of cottonseed concentrate-based diet with and without multi-strain yeast fractions (MsYF) on growth, bile acid metabolism, health largemouth bass. Four hundred fish (54.0 ± 0.0 g) were casually distributed into 16 tanks (4 replicates/diet). Fish fed 4 iso-nitrogen iso-energetic diets 3 times daily, including (FM), soy (SPC; replacing 81% protein),...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of feeding largemouth bass with diets containing two vegetable oils (VOs): soybean oil (SO) and cottonseed (CO), at inclusion levels (50% 100%) on growth, feed utilization, fatty acid (FA) composition flesh quality. Four iso-nitrogenous iso-energetic experimental (SO50, CO50, SO100, CO100) were formulated (51.66 ± 0.01g) for 10 weeks. Two-way ANOVA results showed that compared SO (SO50 SO100), CO (CO50 significantly negatively affected growth...

Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its multidrug resistance. Diacerein (DIA), primarily used treat degenerative joint diseases, has recently been found exhibit antibacterial activity, though specific mechanisms remain unclear. Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) of DIA, as well in - vitro combination susceptibility testing, were determined using the broth microdilution method....

High temperature and humidity conditions can lead to metabolic disorders in the human body, equipment corrosion, bacterial growth. Therefore, development of efficient, reusable, biofriendly dehumidifying materials is urgently needed. For this purpose, we developed a humidity-sensitive polyacrylamide composite hydrogel film aimed at effectively regulating skin surface temperature, which enhanced comfort thermal safety high-temperature environments. Comprising poly(vinyl alcohol),...

In the present study, twenty-four Duroc × Landrance Yorkshire (initial body weight (BW) of 21·82 ( sem 2·06) kg) cross-bred pigs were used to determine whether dietary vitamin D supplementation could confer protection against viral infections through retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) signalling pathway in pigs. Experimental treatments arranged a 2 factorial manner with main effects immune challenge (control v. porcine rotavirus (PRV) challenge) and concentrations (200 5000 IU; where 1...
