Feed ingredientsand feedpricesareincreasing; it is becoming harderto maintain the nutritional balanceof the feed without increasing too
much the feed price. Now, the use ofingredients from less stringent quality islikely to increase. Though plant materialsare usually more reasonable in price thananimalproducts,theycanpresentproblemsthroughthepresenceofnaturallyoccurringcontaminants.Indeed,contaminationoffeedcommoditiesbymicroorganismsandmyco-toxins is the first negative factor impactinganimal feed quality. Numerous researcheshave studied thedecreaseof performanceswithcontaminatedfeeds.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known asendotoxins, are present in the cell mem-brane of gram negative bacteria. They area structural component of the cell wall andarecontinuouslyreleasedintheenvironmentat cell death and during cell growth or divi-sion. Therefore, endotoxins are omnipres-ent in feed, water and fish gut which hasshowntobeanimportantbacterialreservoir.Endotoxinsactasneurotoxiccompoundsandhaveimmunosuppressiveeffectonfish.
Mycotoxinsareadiversegroupofpoten-tial toxic metabolites produced by a vari-ety of fungal species that often contami-nate feedstuffs and consequently fish diets.Mycotoxinscanvary inshapeandsize.Theyareheat stable and resist toextrusionproc-ess. For the ones that have been identified,it isknownthatafewpartsperbillion(ppb)already impact animal growth performances.Mycotoxins effects are specie dependent;cross contamination of different mycotoxinsincreases the damage caused (synergy) andresults in uncharacteristic symptoms, thus
making it difficult to diagnosemycotoxicosis.Evenifextensivestudiesaredoneinthisfield,manymycotoxinseffectsremainunknown.

Additionally, it is very hard to manageendotoxin ingestion by the fish. Endotoxinsfoundinthefishintestinearebroughtbycon-taminatedfoodandwaterorcanbeliberatedfromintestinalgram-negativebacteria.

Material and MethodsLocation and set up
Theexperimentwasdone inacommercialfarm intheMekongDeltaduringtwomonths.1,080 healthy catfish fingerlings (initial weightaround 30 g) obtained from a local supplierwere used for the test. They were raised infloatingcages(hapas),of2x2x2metres,inwhichpangasiuswererandomlyallocated(120fishperhapas). The cages were in the same pond toavoid water difference. Daily water exchangewasdonewithatidalsystem.Fishwereacclimat-edforaweekbeforethebeginningofthetrial.
Experimental designThree iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic
diets were formulated (Table 1). Controldiet, Experimental diet 1 and Experimentaldiet 2 respectively contained 0, 0.05 and0.15% of MT.X+. The diets were producedby RIA2 feedmill, using extrusion processwithpelletsizeof5±1mm.Thedietswererandomlyallocatedtocages.Threereplicates

To check themycotoxin contami-nation of the feedused, mycotoxinanalysis has beendone byHPLCMS/MS method in anindependent labo-ratory, LDA 22, inFrance.
Water qual-ity was watched byrecording daily dis-solvedoxygen(DO),temperature (T°C),pH, nitrites (NO2)and ammonia(NH3). DO, NO2andNH3wereana-lysed by commercialaquariatestkit.
Proximate com-position of the dietswas analysed accord-ing to the AOACprocedures. Theparameters usedto evaluate growthperformance andfeed utilization wereexpressed as DailyWeightGain(DWG),FeedConversionRate(FCR) and SurvivalRate(SUR).
Data from eachtreatmentweresub-jected to one-wayANOVA (differ-ences were consid-ered significant atp < 0.05) and toa Duncan multiplerange of tests byusingRsoftware.

However, the final body weightwas significantly different between fish fed 0.15%MT.X+andfishfedcontroldiet(82.66and70.05g/fish, respectively). As a consequence, FCR wassignificantlylowerforfishfedD0.15comparedtofishfedD0.05orD0(2.01,2.62and2.57,respectively).
DiscussionFish fedeither controldiet,MT.X+0.05%

+18% in final weight). The supplementationwith 0.05% of MT.X+ did not impact theperformancesincomparisonofcontrolgroup.
Several factors can explain the obtained results:
Mycotoxin contamination was very lowin this experiment. We cannot exclude thepossibility that the real contamination washigher than measured, due to uncertaintylinked with the analysis (sampling method,unknown toxins). However, as we observe
a dose-dependent effect of MT.X+ in thisexperiment,thispossibilityislikelydismissed.
