| description | <i>Penaeus</i> spp. are the most cultivated type of shrimp because they have rapid growth and good adaptation to farming conditions. Due to diseases that result in high mortality and a decreased product quality, the cultivation of these shrimp globally, and in Cuba in particular, comes with the risk of significant financial losses. This study examined the effect of fructooligosaccharide (FOS, 1-kestose) on the growth and immune response of shrimp, as well as the multitude of <i>Vibrio</i> spp. and <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. in <i>Penaeus vannamei</i> post-larvae under culture conditions. Fructooligosaccharide was applied in a completely randomized manner at a concentration of 0.4%, in both experimental groups with seventeen tanks each. In the results of this investigation, animals of greater weight (control 6.8 ± 0.2 mg; FOS 9.5 ± 0.3 mg; <i>p</i> < 0.001), length (control 1.1 ± 0.1 mm; FOS 1.3 ± 0.1 mm; <i>p</i> < 0.001), and survival (control 61.7% (95% CI of median 54.2–70.0); FOS 76.6% (95% CI of median 72.1–84.2); <i>p</i> < 0.001) were obtained when administered FOS relative to the control. An increase in the activity of proteases (<i>p</i> < 0.001), enzymes of the innate immune system such as phenoloxidase (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and lysozymes (<i>p</i> < 0.001) was observed, as well as an increase in the number of lectins (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Changes in the microbiota could be observed, with a reduction in <i>Vibrio</i> spp. and <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. (control 2.4 × 10<sup>3</sup> ± 0.5 × 10<sup>3</sup>; FOS 1.1 × 10<sup>2</sup> ± 0.3 × 10<sup>2</sup>; <i>p</i> < 0.001). FOS improves the quality of the post-larvae of <i>P. vannamei</i> as reflected in the length, weight, and survival of the animals. Moreover, FOS stimulates the <i>P. vannamei</i> immune system through the enzymatic activities of phenoloxidase, lysozyme, and a number of lectins. The reduction in the population load of <i>Vibrio</i> spp. and <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. might be a consequence of the improvement in the quality and immune system of <i>P. vannamei</i>. |
