Apparent digestibility of protein, energy and amino acids of six protein sources included at three levels in diets for juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared in high performance conditions

The apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of six practical protein ingredients, Chilean fish meal (FM), soy protein concentrate (SPC), poultry by-product meal (PBM), corn gluten meal (CGM), meat and bone meal (MBM), and hydrolyzed feather meal (HFM), were determined for juvenile white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) at dietary inclusion levels of 10, 20 and 30% within a reference diet containing 20% fish meal.
