Khanal and colleagues compared low-oligosaccharide and enzyme-treated soybean meals with solvent-extracted soybean meal in diets for whiteleg shrimp. The green-water trial lasted eight weeks; the clear-water trial lasted five weeks according to the methods and results. Intermediate LO-SBM replacement supported higher final weights in clear water, whereas growth differences were not significant in green water.
Gut microbiota alpha diversity differed among selected diets, while beta-diversity tests were not significant. Replacement percentages refer to the soybean protein source, not the whole feed. The paper includes reporting limitations discussed in the detailed Vietnamese article.
