Supplementation of feed with S. cerevisiae originated free nucleotides improves non-specific immune responses and intestinal microstructure morphology as well as increases survival rate after bacterial infection in Nile tilapia
Koch JFA, Oliveira CAF, FS Zanuzzo (2021). Dietary β-glucan (MacroGard®) improves innate immune responses and disease resistance in Nile tilapia regardless of the administration period. Fish and Shellfish Immunology, doi: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.02.014
Dietary β-glucan at a low inclusion level (0.1%), regardless of the period of administration, enhanced the innate immune responses of fish and that longer periods such as 45 days may be beneficial and promote further growth and higher resistance to disease.
This study adds in vivo evidence that dietary β-glucan administration can trigger prolonged protection and may contribute to trained innate immunity in fish.

Citral was able to modulate the fish immune responses in a delivery mode-dependent manner.
Citral-loaded nanoemulsions and alginate nanoparticles reduced the total bacterial population in the fish intestine.
Citral reduced stomach pH (all delivery forms) and increased intestinal pH when loaded in nanoemulsions.
