Abstract

As one of the intermediate metabolites of leucine, β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) can promote muscle growth, prevent muscle atrophy and increase immunity in animal, making it be widely used in high-end health food, sport supplements and fitness products. With the development of high-density and intensive aquaculture, growth performance, muscle quality and immunity of aquatic animals were suppressed. Therefore, it is of vital significance to rationally add HMB in aquafeeds, which can promote muscle growth and enhance immunity. This review summarizes the action mechanisms of HMB, and compares the application of HMB in aquatic animals and livestock and poultry animals to analyze the current progress and deficiency of HMB application in aquatic animals, so as to provide reference for the further application and research of HMB in the future.
