Avances en alimentación de especies acuícolas con insumos de origen animal en formulaciones dietéticas

Abstract

The shrimp industry continues to grow in terms of the breeding of various aquaculture species, therefore, more food production should be generated to help producers to obtain supply with protein and energy sources, resulting in a sustainable and profitable production in the market. For this reason, the elaboration of balanced diets should select ingredients that meet the essential requirements such as minerals, proteins, vitamins, among other nutrients, necessary for aquatic species to have a good growth, as well as taking into account their texture, uniformity, hydrostability and extrusion, as in the case of fish where the feed should be on the surface; for shrimp, on the bottom; therefore, it is necessary to know for which species the balanced feed is intended. The most used input to elaborate balanced feed is fishmeal, its fundamental contribution is in the high quality protein allowing the utilization of the nutritional value, it also has a disadvantage in terms of its high cost, in addition, the quality and quantity are often altered with urea causing nutritional losses. By means of this bibliographic review, we intend to disseminate novel inputs, which allow improving the nutrition of organisms, being these accessible and complying with the necessary nutrients for the species under cultivation, achieving a lower economic value and obtaining better income in the productivity sector.
