Targeting fish immunity and natural defences through nutrition

Lallemand Animal Nutrition revealed new results through five different presentations at the AQUA 2018 conference organized by the European Aquaculture Society (EAS) and the World Aquaculture Society (WAS).

These studies contribute advancing our understanding of functional aquafeed ingredients to support fish health, performance and welfare. Functional feeds are becoming an essential component of modern aquafeed to support a responsible and high-performing aquaculture industry.

The studies focused on the fish mucosal surfaces, which constitute an effective line of defences but also are constantly exposed to a vast number of potential pathogens and non-infectious disrupting factors, such as physical transfer or chemical exposure during production. Specific functional ingredients can be selectively applied to support the physical, immunological, and microbial components of the fish mucosal barriers.
