Abstract
Based on the results of a survey conducted on the urease activity (UA) in commercial shrimp feed containing soybean meal (SBM) (0.00-29. 70 ppm UA), a study was carried out to determine the effects of different heat treatments on the UA, and on the nutritional quality of SBM. The effect of these heat treated SBMs when incorporated into shrimp diet on the growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles was likewise tested. Various levels of UA in SBM were obtained with different heat treatments. Six practical diets were formulated and contained 0.00 (SBM heated at !20°C for 20 min); 0.50 (SBM heated at 60°C for 160 min); 4.0 (SBM heated at 60°C for 80 min); 8.0 (SBM heated at 60°C for 40 min); 11.0 (SBM heated at 60°C for 20 min) and 22.0 ppm UA (without heating). These diets were fed to P. monodon (average weight = 4.24±0.10 g) juveniles for a period of 60 days. Results showed that protein quality in terms of amino acid content of SBM was not significantly affected by the different heat treatments. Weight gains of shrimps fed diets with 8.0, 11.0, 25.0 ppm UA were significantly lower than those fed other diets. Survival of shrimps was lowest with diets containing unheated SBM, but this was not significalltly different from those heated at 60°C. Heat treatment of SBM at 120°C is adequate to be an effective ingredient in shrimp diets.

Potential use of the sea lettuce Ulva lactuca replacing soybean meal in the diet of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon juvenile
(Bioflux, 2015)To evaluate the biological value of incorporating the sea lettuce Ulva lactuca meal in the diet of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), 3 diets were fed to groups of shrimps containing two levels (15% and 30% replacement of soybean meal) of the sea lettuce for 90 days. Biological parameters were determined either periodically or at the termination of the experiment. Specific growth rate (SGR) of shrimp fed the control diet and those fed with the diet containing 15% replacement were not significantly different from each other while that of shrimp fed 30% soybean replacement was slightly but significantly inferior. All other parameters such as survival rate, feed intake, food conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio protein and lipid deposited and body composition were all statistically similar between the experimental groups of shrimp. Thus, the 30% replacement level or 10.5% inclusion level could be used in the diet of the shrimp P. monodon. When performances were compared with the best result in incorporating U. lactuca protein concentrate from a previous study and that in the present study (both were 30% replacement or 10.5 inclusion level), they were statistically similar. Thus, the raw U. lactuca meal is recommended because it did not require additional processing to produce the concentrated seaweed. -
Defatted soybean meal and Leucaena leaf meal as protein sources in diets for Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)Penaeus monodon juveniles, mean weight 0.38 g, were fed 12 practical diets with 30, 20 or 16% Peruvian fish meal, 15 or 35% defatted soybean meal (DSM), 10% Leucaena leucocephala , leaf meal (LM), and 15% shrimp meal with and without vitamins and/or minerals. The diets contained 42-48% crude protein and 11-13% crude fat. The animals were stocked at 10 per fiberglass tank, and reared in 40 aerated seawater in a flowthrough system for 8 weeks. Growth and survival were not affected by the level of DSM but significantly decreased in prawn fed diets with LM. Feed conversion ratios of prawn were better for complete diets than those where vitamins only were added. Poor feed conversion ratios and specific growth rates were obtained when no vitamins and minerals or only minerals were added to the diets. -
Supplemental feeding of Penaeus monodon juveniles with diets containing various levels of defatted soybean meal
(Elsevier, 1990)Varying levels of defattedsoybeanmeal DSM (15, 25, 35, 45 and 55%) in supplementaldiets with approximately 40% crude protein and 10% crude fat were fed to tiger prawn juveniles in 1 m×1 m×1 m net cages set on the bottom of a 1-ha earthen pond. Prawns were stocked at 10 or 20 per m2 and fed the various diets for 3 months. Prawns were also stocked outside the cages at a stocking density of 0.5/m2. Weight gains were significantly affected by supplementalfeeding and stocking rate. Prawns that were stocked outside the cages weighed 13.2 g upon termination whereas those stocked at 10/m2 and 20/m2 were twice as heavy. Higher weight gains were recorded for prawns stocked at 10/m2 compared to those stocked at 20/m2. There were no significant differences in weight gains of prawns fed varying levels of soybeanmeal at stocking densities of 10 or 20/m2, indicating that soybeanmeal can be incorporated into the ration at high levels. At both stocking rates, survival rates were relatively high and were not significantly different. Although no significant differences in growth were observed due to the different levels of defatted soybean meal in the diets, the diet with 35% DSM and 16% Peruvian fish meal gave the best yield.
