Lípidos de origen animal presentes en dietas alimenticias y su incidencia en el engorde y crecimiento del camaron litopenaeus vannamei

Abstract

In our country, the high production of white shrimp and its way of finding new feeding and management techniques have achieved a correct development and rapid growth of the organism over the years, the balanced feed companies have managed an economic saving in the process of feeding shrimp in all its phases, and this has managed to offset the large production costs, where the main expense is that of food, due to this it seeks to guarantee a food that is economical and of good quality for the use and profitability of shrimp farming. The present work determined the difference between various types of extracted lipids of animal origin that can be used for the manufacture of balanced feeds for shrimp. Lipids are one of the main macronutrients that shrimp need to be able to develop properly, because they provide a number of fatty acids and triglycerides, which serve the process of giving energy to the body, in addition to transporting certain vitamins . One of the main sources of lipids of animal origin is the use of fish oil, which more than 80% of the oil produced worldwide is for the aquaculture area, therefore, due to the great demand of fishing, for human consumption and the elaboration of oils, it is necessary to look for alternatives of this in other species that are functional for the elaboration of balanced foods.
