Dietary tributyrin supplementation enhances the immune and antioxidant response...
Magnoni, Leonardo Julian; Silva-Brito, Francisca; Cavalheri, Thais; Espirito-Santo, Carlos; Palma, Mariana; Ozório, Rodrigo; Panserat, StephaneDietary supplementation with tributyrin (TBT), a source of butyric acid, has been shown to improve growth performance and health status when high levels of plant ingredients are included in aquafeeds. Here, we investigated the response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to a plant-based diet supplemented with TBT aiming to improve fish performance and welfare. Juvenile rainbow trout (19.0 ± 0.19 g, mean ± S...
Improving agar properties of farmed Gracilaria gracilis by using filtered sunlight
Silva-Brito, Francisca; Pereira, Sara Gonçalves; Rocha, Cristina M. R.; da Costa, Elisabete; Domingues, M. Rosário; Azevedo, Andreina; Kijjoa, AnakeThe effects of different light spectra on agar yield, composition and gel properties, pigment content and antioxidant activity of Gracilaria gracilis cultivated in a land-based IMTA-system were investigated. Total phenol content, antiradical activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory capacity in the residue obtained from G. gracilis agar extraction (agar waste, AW) were also investigated. Gracilaria gracilis wa...
