Abstract
The present invention relates to a feed composition suitable for feeding crustaceans comprising mannose oligosaccharides. The invention also relates to the use of mannose oligosaccharide compositions for feeding crustaceans. The invention also relates to crustaceans as a food source, in particular shrimp of the species Litopenaeus vannamei or Penaeus monodon, fed with the feed composition comprising mannose oligosaccharides.
Claims13
A method for feeding crustaceans, the method comprising feeding crustaceans a mannose oligosaccharide composition, wherein the composition
- has a solubility in water of 50% or more;
- comprises less than 0.1 wt % beta-glucan on a dry weight basis (db);
- comprises at least 50 wt % of mannose oligosaccharides having a degree of polymerization of 3 or more on a dry weight basis (db);
- and
- is obtained by polycondensation of mannose in a microreactor, wherein the pressure in the microreactor is from 0.5 bar to 30 bar.
