The invention relates to the technical field of feed additives for
aquaculture, and discloses a seaweed
feed additive for improving the body color of prawns and a preparation method thereof. The seaweed is rich in
high protein, carbohydrates and lipids, has high nutritional value and
antioxidant capacity; sulfated seaweed polysaccharides extracted from the seaweed by a
water extraction method strengthen the intestinal microecological stability and immune function of the
shrimp body; a part of microalgae
astaxanthin powder extracted from
Haematococcus pluvialis by an
enzyme extraction method can be used by the
shrimp body as a
nutrient, and the other part is deposited in the
shrimp skin layer,
muscle and shell, etc., to improve the problem of abnormal body color of prawns, lighter body color or even blue body color, and has an excellent
color enhancement effect; at the same time, an appropriate amount of concentrated
cottonseed protein is added to significantly promote the growth of prawns, and the components in the
feed additive synergistically enhance the effect, promote the growth of prawns and improve the body color of prawns, and are conducive to the sustainable and healthy development of
prawn farming.
