Apparent digestibility of protein, energy and amino acids of six protein sources included at three levels in diets for juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared in high performance conditions

Knowledge about the nutritional value of ingredients for shrimp diets is needed. This paper introduces new information about the digestibility of commercial feedstuffs given at different levels, in a practical diet. Shrimp were reared in a RAS using specifically designed tanks, with performance comparable to shrimp farms. Effects of the method on the reliability of digestibility data are also discussed.
