Extract

Artemia or brine shrimp is a crustacean animal that lives in conditions of high salinity in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. There is great potential for the culture and production of artemia in Iran. Artemia biomass is a good source of protein that can be used in poultry diets (Zarei et al., 2006). The objective of this study was to determine the protein digestibility of different sources of artemia in vitro and in vivo in comparison with fish meal.
