Pomelo Peel and Soybean Meal Fermented Compound as Feedstuff for Large Yellow Croaker (<i>Larimichthys crocea</i>): A Study on Growth and Intestinal Health.

ABSTRACT: Pomelo peel is a main by-product of pomelo consumption, while most of the by-products are discarded as wastes with environmental threats. Indeed, it contains many nutrients and bioactive ingredients, which makes it a promising source of aquatic feedstuff. In this study, a 56-day feeding trial was set out to assess the dietary application of pomelo peel and soybean meal (SBM) (1:4 ratio) fermented compound (PSFC) in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). Results indicated that dietary PSFC improved weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR), but did not affect feed utilization, body shape parameters and survival rate (SR) of croakers. Moreover, PSFC significantly decreased serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity and D-lactate concentration, increased muscle thickn
