Lipogest: A Digestive & Metabolic Enhancer to Offset Reduced Cholesterol in Shrimp Feed

Global fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) prices are heavily influenced by supply from South America (mainly Peru and Chile) and demand from Asia (primarily China). Peru, the largest producer and exporter, recently canceled its anchovy fishing season due to El Niño, disrupting the global FM and FO market.

For shrimp, reducing FM and FO in feeds affects essential lipid availability, including cholesterol, which is crucial for membrane function and molting hormone synthesis. Cholesterol requirements vary, and while purified cholesterol can be added, it is expensive. A cost-effective alternative is Lipogest, a digestibility and metabolic enhancer based on bile salts.
