Farm management related stressors are common in Aquaculture operations : transportations, transfers, gradings, but also vaccination procedures include fish exposure to hypoxia, injuries, varying water qualities, various infectious environments, and population mixings .
In response to this global rising concern , a special support feed was formulated and included specific feed additives selected to help juvenile tilapia better cope with such stress. It was then tested in a dedicated R&D trial run in actual field conditions with 8 cages per treatment.
These results highlight contributions possibly brought by specific feed formulations and selected feed additives in supporting fish physiology and homeostasis in various stressing conditions. Doing so, such tools help fish producers improve their farming management practices and performance , reduce their use of antibiotics and chemicals, thus decrease their impact on the environment and global health.
