Description
Bao and a large team test in twenty twenty-six a feed made from sheep blood for common carp, a widely farmed fish. Fish farming needs new protein sources that do not strain the planet. Sheep blood from slaughterhouses is mostly wasted, yet it can be broken down by enzymes into a useful feed additive.
Over eight weeks, carp on low or mid doses of the additive grew faster than carp on plain feed. The mid dose gave the best results, with more body protein and stronger gut walls. Gut barrier genes and nutrient uptake genes switched on more strongly too. Gut germ mixes also shifted in fed fish. The authors name the mid dose as the best balance for farm use.
