Description
Ehsan Ahmadifar and co-authors present a 2026 study on feeding farmed carp a germ-fighting peptide wrapped in tiny carriers. The peptide, a natural defense molecule, breaks down easily, which limits its use in feed. Wrapping it in nano-scale shells could protect it and raise its effect.
Young carp were fed for eight weeks on a plain diet, a diet with the plain peptide, or diets with the peptide in one of two carriers. The fish were then exposed to a harmful bacterium. Growth, blood measures, and immune responses were tracked before and after the challenge. The trial tests whether wrapping makes the peptide a stronger shield for farmed fish.
