Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract of the aquatic animal is sensitive and responsive to a number of stressing factors, being those common and the cause of disease and poor performance. In order to minimize these negative outcomes and achieve sustainable, safe, and cost-efficient aquaculture practices, nutritionists must focus not only on nutritional specifications but also on promoting gastrointestinal health. In such task, natural growth promoters, as probiotics or organic acids, stand out as a tool to reach an optimal gut flora balance and to stimulate development and integrity of intestinal epithelium.
