Valoración de la proteína vegetal y proteína animal en el alimento balanceado para el cultivo de litopeneus vannameii

Abstract

The production of shrimp in our country and its search for new management and feeding techniques have guaranteed the correct and rapid development of the organism, the management of economic savings for the food producing and shrimp producing companies in their larval stages, fattening and reproduction , emphasize the nutrition of shrimp culture as the main base for captive organisms, taking into consideration the shrimp farmer's economy, where the balanced generates higher production costs, quality guarantees its consumption that is reflected in its growth. This work valued the two types of protein one of animal origin and another of vegetable origin, the protein is the main basis in the feed balanced by its nutritional requirement of the shrimp for its somatic and mass growth, the proteins of vegetable origin will lower production costs in the balanced product where its protein is of animal origin, in our environment there are alternatives of proteins of plant origin that have nutritional benefits in the cultivation of Litopenaeus vannanei, proteins of plant origin can be replaced partial quantities by their eating habits of shrimp, studies indicate that the protein of plant origin It usually has less attractiveness and palatability compared to the animal and is a reason for its partial use in shrimp foods, several sources of protein have given encouraging results with tests where they have shown replacing 60% of animal protein with vegetable protein where they reached the same growth.
