Optimized dietary supplementation of a humic substance or protease complex: implications for growth, survival, immunity, and intestinal microbiome of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque)

The objective of this project is to examine the intestinal microbiome of channel catfish fed a protease enzyme or humic substance-supplemented diet in a commercial rearing environment. Gut microbiome communities were assessed in the fecal of catfish after 30 and 60 days of dietary feeding. Result were compared across treatment groups and time points
