Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pectin extracted from orange peel as a natural prebiotic on hemolymph markers, nonspecific immune markers, antioxidant defense system, and digestive function of Llitopenaeus vannamei. the group fed with 1.5% pectin level (P <0.05). However, it had no significant effect on shrimp survival and lysozyme content, total protein and glucose (P >0.05). Antioxidant enzymes in the present study showed an increase in catalase and superoxide dismutase activity in 0.5 and 1.5% pectin treatments. Statistically, the activity of this enzyme in treatment with 1% pectin and control treatment was not significantly different (P >0.05). The highest phenol oxidase activity was in the group fed with 1% pectin. However, the activity of this enzyme in the two treatments of 0.5 and 1.5% were not significantly different from the control group (P >0.05). The results showed that pectin as a natural probiotic is effective in stimulating antioxidant defense, and improving the immune system.
