This study assessed the effects of dietary supplementation of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) on growth performance, feed efficiency, non-specific immunity, digestive enzyme capacity, phagocytic activity, hemocyte count, intestinal morphology, and disease resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Six diets were prepared by supplementing graded levels of PHB at 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, and 4.00% (Con, P0.25, P0.5, P1.0, P2.0, and P4.0, respectively). Triplicate groups of 90 shrimps (initial body weight 0.25 ± 0.01 g) per treatment were randomly assigned and fed an experimental diet for 56 days. The growth performance of shrimp was significantly improved by 1% dietary PHB supplementation. PHB-included diets fed shrimp showed significantly improved hepatopancreatic trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pepsin activities. Villus height was significantly increased with dietary PHB supplementation, and villus width was increased at a 1% inclusion level. P0.25, P0.5, and P4.0 groups significantly increased phenoloxidase activity, and the P2.0 group significantly increased anti-protease activity compared to the Con group. The survival of shrimp challenged against V. parahaemolyticus was higher in P0.5, P1.0, and P2.0 groups than in the Con diet. Dietary PHB supplementation improved weight gain, digestive enzyme activity, intestinal morphology, non-specific immunity, and disease resistance against V. parahaemolyticus of shrimp. According to the above observations, the optimal dietary PHB supplementation level for maximum weight gain would be 1% for Pacific white shrimp.
