Latest findings on shrimp microbiota presented at World Aquaculture 2021

This week at the World Aquaculture 2021 meeting in Mexico, Ana Rodiles, Senior Scientist at the Lallemand Monogastric Center of Excellence, introduced her latest findings on shrimp microbiota. The study, performed with the contribution of BioMar Group, aimed at searching for a new microbiota marker of shrimp gut health and welfare.

The Rhodobacteraceae/Vibrionales ratio was identified as a good potential biomarker of intestinal microbial diversity, which is typically associated with intestinal and shrimp health and robustness. The Rhodobacteraceae family includes beneficial bacteria with potential pre/probiotic function. On the other hand, the Vibrionales contain opportunist and pathogenic species for shrimp. This work is part of Lallemand Animal Nutrition’s efforts to better understand the role and significance of shrimp microbiota. This new biomarker could prove very valuable when evaluating the efficacy of gut health management approaches such as probiotic or bioremediation strategies.

Rumen health seminar: Managing acidosis starts with the transitional cow

Key points Transition cows are at an increased risk of ruminal acidosis during early lactation due to a ‘perfect storm’ of low feed intake prior to and at calving, increased feed intake after calving, abrupt dietary change and increased competition for feed, suppressed immune function and inflammation. It is estimated that 19–26% of dairy cows […]

Rumen health seminar: Understanding acidosis

Key points With the average 300-cow dairy herd recording up to 4500 cases every lactation, ruminal acidosis remains the most prevalent disease affecting dairy cows in Australia. Speaking at the Lallemand Animal Nutrition Rumen Health Seminar, Professor Ian Lean, says that many studies find about 10% of cows are affected at any one time and […]
