Performance, nutrient digestibility and physiological resilience of juvenile gi...
Mendes, Rodrigo; Teodósio, Rita; Dias, Jorge; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Galileu Speranza, Lais; Magalhães, Sara; Aires, TiagoAquafeeds formulated with organic or circular economy-derived ingredients aim to enhance sustainability and consumer acceptance. This study evaluated the global warming potential (GWP) and digestibility of such feeds, and assessed their effects on performance, feed utilisation and physiological resilience, defined as the ability to maintain tissue function and integrity under different feeding conditions of juv...
Socially acceptable feed formulations may impact the voluntary feed intake and ...
Mendes, Rodrigo; Rena, Paulo; Dias, Jorge; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Teodósio, Rita; Engrola, Sofia; Sánchez-Vázquez, Francisco J.Society is becoming more demanding with aquaculture’s environmental footprint and animal wellbeing. In order to potentially mitigate these concerns, feed formulations could be based on eco-efficient (circular economy-driven) or organic ingredients. This study aimed to investigate the growth performance, feed utilization, and health status of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) when fed with such feeds...
Sustainable fish meal-free diets for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata): integr...
Fernandes, Ana M.; Calduch-Giner, Josep Àlvar; Pereira, Gabriella V.; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Dias, Jorge; Johansen, JohanThe growth of the aquaculture industry requires more sustainable and circular economy-driven aquafeed formulas. Thus, the goal of the present study was to assess in farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) how different combinations of novel and conventional fish feed ingredients supported proper animal performance in terms of growth and physiological biomarkers of blood/liver/head kidney. A 77-day feeding ...
