Abstract
The present study investigated how dietary inclusion of solubilized mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) influences growth performance, digestive health, stress resilience, and production profitability in Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) reared under intensive synbiotic conditions. Juveniles averaging 3.00 ± 0.04 g were stocked at 100 shrimp m−2 and fed experimental diets containing 0 (control), 1.0, 2.0, or 4.0 g kg−1 MOS for 60 days. Shrimp receiving 1.0 g kg−1 MOS showed higher growth rate, improved feed conversion, and greater final body weight than the control (p
