CA 2382636

The present invention provides for the improved uptake of feed additives, pigments for use in colouring the flesh and the like. This improved intestinal uptake of foodstuffs and additives is effected through enhancing the development of the intestinal tract. Specifically the present method comprises of feeding fish with a diet which has an augmented level of nucleotides present therein. The nucleotides may be selected form the group consisting of uracil, guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine and mixtures thereof. The resultant improvement in the development of the intestinal tract leads to an improvement of the intestinal surfaces to absorb nutrients and/or dietary additives, this increase being at least partly due to an increase in gut surface area, for example through an increase in villus height.

Cette invention a pour but d'augmenter l'assimilation d'additifs alimentaires, de pigments utilisés pour colorer la chair et similaires. Cette assimilation intestinale accrue d'aliments et d'additifs est obtenue grâce à un développement accru du tube digestif. Le procédé faisant l'objet de cette invention consiste plus spécifiquement à nourrir du poisson avec un régime dans lequel est présent un niveau accru de nucléotides. Ces nucléotides peuvent être choisis dans le groupe constitué par uracil, guanine, cytosine, thimine, adénine et des mélanges de ceux-ci. L'amélioration du développement du tube digestif qui en résulte entraîne une augmentation des surfaces intestinales capables d'absorber les éléments nutritifs et/ou les additifs alimentaires, cette augmentation étant due au moins partiellement à une augmentation de la superficie des intestins, notamment par une augmentation de la hauteur des villosités.
