Corn gluten meal diets supplemented with dietary L-carnitine for juvenile hybrid grouper (♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂E. lanceolatus): Impacts on growth performance, immune response and flesh quality

The focus of this research was to assess if corn gluten meal diet supplemented with L-carinitine (LC) LC0, LC0.2, LC0.4, LC0.6, LC1.2, LC1.4, LC1.6, with LC levels of 0 for the control group, 200, 400, 600, 1200, 1400, and 1600 mg/kg, respectively, may be a viable option for juvenile hybrid grouper...

Description
Summary:The focus of this research was to assess if corn gluten meal diet supplemented with L-carinitine (LC) LC0, LC0.2, LC0.4, LC0.6, LC1.2, LC1.4, LC1.6, with LC levels of 0 for the control group, 200, 400, 600, 1200, 1400, and 1600 mg/kg, respectively, may be a viable option for juvenile hybrid grouper (♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂E. lanceolatus). It’s impact on juvenile hybrid grouper growth, immunity, gene expression, and disease resistance. Each group in the experiment had three replicates (initial weight = 13.57 ± 0.00 g) and were fed their respective diets for eight weeks. When LC0.2 was compared to LC0, it showed a significant improvement on growth (P
