A Microbial Fermentation of Soybean and Cottonseed Meal Increases Antioxidant Activity and Gossypol Detoxification in Diets for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

We report the beneficial effects of a microbial fermentation process of plant protein sources. To reduce anti‐nutritional factors, soybean meal (SM) and cottonseed meal (CM) were fermented with Aspergillus oryzae , a probiotic microorganism, and a 12‐wk feeding study was conducted to evaluate the supplemental effects of the fermented soybean meal (FSM) or fermented cottonseed meal (FCM) in diets for juvenile Nile tilapia. Growth performance and...
