Abstract

The development of the aquaculture industry is directly associated with the increase in the production of balanced feeds aimed at feeding aquatic animals, however, the cost of balancing is more expensive due to high levels of inclusion of fishmeal, a viable solution to regarding, it is the substitution of this protein source for vegetable flours that allow optimizing the nutrition of these organisms, thus, balanced foods are made up of a variety of raw materials carefully chosen so that they allow to cover the nutritional requirements of the species, the choice of raw materials for the production of feed intended for animal feeding is known as diet formulation, for its part, in the aquaculture industry the existence of numerous nutritional studies in which a wide variety of diets aimed at a extensive number of species has led to the analysis of multiple types of vegetable inputs which include a variety of legumes, cereals, oilseeds, among others, these investigations have provided encouraging results mainly when it comes to soy-based inclusions, however, the presence of antinutritional components in responsible plant ingredients decreasing the growth of cultivable species has led to a decrease in their use, despite these drawbacks, thanks to various methods, a notable reduction has been achieved, contributing to an improvement in the quality of these resources and as such guaranteeing a favorable use for the production of functional foods
