Effects of dietary potassium diformate (AQUAFORM) on juvenile white-leg shrimp (L. vannamei)
Dr. Christian Lückstädt, recently represented ADDCON as a part of Esseco Industrial at AQUA EXPO 2024 in Copenhagen, which took place from August 26th to 30th.
The conference was a great success, bringing together 3,684 attendees from 80 countries, including 382 students—the future of our field. AQUA EXPO 2024 featured 1,132 abstracts, 275 ePosters, 945 oral presentations, and 66 sessions, fostering a rich exchange of scientific knowledge and innovation.
At the event, Dr. Lückstädt, presented our latest research on the effects of dietary potassium diformate (AQUAFORM) on juvenile white-leg shrimp (L. vannamei), showcasing its significant impact on improving feed efficiency by 13.8% and increasing survival rates by 13.0%. This study highlights the potential of potassium diformate as a sustainable alternative in aquaculture, aligning with the theme of "Blue Food, Green Solutions."
Key findings from our research:
🔹 Objective:
Assess the effects of potassium diformate (AQUAFORM) on feed efficiency and survival rates in juvenile white-leg shrimp (L. vannamei)
🔹Study Basis:
Data from 9 studies with potassium diformate dosages between 0.1% and 0.8%.
🔹Results:
Feed Efficiency: Improved by 13.8% (P < 0.05) / Survival Rate: Increased by 13.0% (P < 0.01)
🔹Conclusion:
Potassium diformate is a sustainable feed additive that enhances shrimp performance and supports eco-friendly aquaculture.
