In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how ginseng saponins can improve shrimp performance in low fish meal diets without compromising harvest quality. The research highlights better nutrient utilization, stronger antioxidant defenses, improved hepatopancreas health, and greater resilience under ammonia nitrogen stress. Practical insights reveal new opportunities to reduce feed costs while maintaining production efficiency. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Optimizing shrimp nutrition and health: ginseng saponins as functional additives in low-fishmeal diets on Litopenaeus vannamei" by Lin, Sihan, et al.
