Acuicultura
Aunque el ajo y la cebolla no forman parte natural de la dieta de los peces, la investigación aplicada en nutrición acuícola ha mostrado que sus fracciones aromáticas pueden integrarse con éxito en piensos, tanto incorporados en la mezcla como mediante coating del pellet para apoyar mejor apetito, ingestión más estable y transiciones de dieta más suaves en agua dulce y marina.
En fases sensibles (arranque, preengorde, transfer a mar, cambios de formulación o temperatura), los matices organolépticos de las aliáceas ayudan a estandarizar el aroma del pienso, de modo que el pez percibe menos variación entre lotes o etapas, favoreciendo una continuidad en el consumo y rutinas alimentarias más predecibles.
Además, numerosos estudios científicos han señalado que la inclusión de aliáceas puede estar asociada a efectos indirectos positivos sobre el confort digestivo y la eficiencia en la utilización del pienso, contribuyendo a animales mejor adaptados frente a estresores productivos, ambientales y de manejo.
