Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary silymarin supplementation on the growth performance, feed utilization, innate immunity and antioxidant capacity of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1% silymarin (designated as Con, S0025, S005 and S01, respectively). Triplicate groups of shrimp (initial body weight: 0.70 g) were fed each of the diets for 6 weeks. After the feeding trial, weight gain and specific growth rate were significantly higher in silymarin-supplemented groups compared to Con group. Dietary silymarin significantly enhanced protein efficiency ratio of S01 group and reduced feed conversion ratio of S005 and S01 groups. Phenoloxidase and anti-protease activities were significantly higher in S01 group compared to Con group. Glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities were significantly higher in silymarin-supplemented groups compared to those of Con group. The results of this study indicate that dietary silymarin could improve the growth performance, feed utilization, innate immunity and antioxidant capacity of Pacific white shrimp. The optimum level of silymarin in diet for Pacific white shrimp is suggested to be ≥0.025%.
