Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Feed additives play a crucial role in aquaculture, significantly contributing to the health and growth of aquatic organisms. Studying these additives is essential for optimizing nutrition, improving feed efficiency, and ensuring the sustainability of aquaculture production. They can include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, organic acids, essential oils, and probiotics, among others, each with specific functions, such as strengthening the immune system, increasing feed digestibility, and improving meat quality.
Furthermore, the proper use of feed additives can reduce the environmental impact of aquaculture by decreasing antimicrobial use and minimizing the nutrient and waste emissions polluting the waters. Research in this area is also vital to ensuring the safety of additives for both animals and end consumers. With a focus on the above, we invite contributions to the Special Issue titled "Advances in Aquaculture Feed Additives".
