Influences of Feed Additives for Sustainable Aquaculture Production in Asia: A Review

Aquaculture is considered as the primary source to increase fish supply in order to ensure food security and effectively address the nutritional needs of the growing population specially in Asian countries. The utilisation of antibiotics in aquafeeds has been extensively employed in aquaculture...

description Aquaculture is considered as the primary source to increase fish supply in order to ensure food security and effectively address the nutritional needs of the growing population specially in Asian countries. The utilisation of antibiotics in aquafeeds has been extensively employed in aquaculture of Asian region in order to prevent disease and promote growth. But due to various unfavourable consequences and growing acceptance of the benefits of restricted use of antibiotic administration in aquaculture, the necessity to consider alternate options is urgent. In light of this, the development of eco-friendly feed additives, particularly immunostimulants, for disease control and improved health of aquatic animals is gaining popularity in Asia. The utilisation of natural feed additives has the potential to enhance the efficiency of aquaculture production, reduce the need for medicated treatments, minimise waste discharges, and promote sustainability and long-term profitability. Various high-quality feeds, customised for specific needs, are now supplemented with essential feed additives in the Asian aquaculture industry. The recent focus on functional feed additives has led to the incorporation of probiotics, prebiotics, mycotoxin binders, organic acids, phytogenic compounds, and other medicinal herbs. These feed additives not only boost and support the general health of aquatic animals but also increase consumer confidence in farmed fish. The main objective of the present review is to emphasize the significance of functional feed additives in Asian aquaculture, as they play a vital role in regulating growth, optimising feed utilisation, and enhancing the overall health status of aquatic animals.
