Nile Tilapia to benefit from NSP-ases in diet

Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP’s) are leading to a wide range of anti-nutritive effects. However, only a limited number of such studies have been conducted in fish. Here we give some latest insights into whether non-starch polysaccharidases (NSP-ases) supplemented in fish feed are able to hydrolyse these unwanted NSP’s. Tilapia fish are categorised as herbivorous fish, but are able to utilise a wide variety of food, including aquatic larvae and insects. To meet the high amino acid requirem
