Cholesterol is an essential nutrient for shrimp. Purified cholesterol can be supplemented to shrimp feeds to reach a targeted level. However, supplementation has become very expensive and therefore cost-effective alternative options are needed.
Lipogest® is a digestibility and metabolic enhancer based on bile salts. These improve the digestive capacity for lipids in the digestive system of shrimp, but also constitute an alternative source for the steroid ring of cholesterol. Trials show that 0.125% Lipogest® in a shrimp feed containing 0.06% cholesterol maintained the growth rate and feed conversion efficiency of a feed containing 0.08% cholesterol. Bile salt supplementation is a cost-saving strategy to make shrimp feeds perform with less cholesterol.
Lipid digestion
Lipid digestion in both fish and shrimp is influenced by many parameters. For shrimp, essential lipid compounds such as cholesterol, phospholipids and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA’s) are key nutrients, which are less abundant and less available in plant-based diets.
In fish, fat digestion and metabolism can be impaired by environmental stress factors and alternative ingredients. Supplementation with a digestive & metabolic enhancer will optimize the utilization of essential lipids and maximize the energy availability for growth.

A new study reevaluates the dietary methionine requirement of gilthead seabream juveniles and confirms the efficiency of hydroxy-methionine. Gilthead seabream is one of the most important species produced in the Mediterranean area. Available data reflect wide differences in the published requirements of methionine (Met) and total sulfur amino acids (TSAA) Read more
