Antinutritional factors in feed ingredients and their effects in finfish

One of the important criteria in selecting feed ingredients for manufacturing complete and supplement feeds relate to the presence of antinutritional factors, which can significantly reduce the nutritional value of the feeds. These anti-nutritive substances are often referred to as 'toxic factors' because of the deleterious effects they produce when eaten by animals. However, most of these produce sub-lethal effects such as reduced growth, poor feed conversion, hormonal changes and occasional organ damage
