Antrodia camphorate medium have been added to shrimp diets with 0g/kg (Ctrl), 7.5g/kg (A), 12.5g/kg (B), 25g/kg (C) and 50g/kg (D) respectively. The immune responses, prophenoloxidase activity (proPO), superoxide anion production (O2-), phagocytic activity and lysozyme activity were examined after feeding for 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 15 days. The results indicated that prophenoloxidase activity, phagocytic activity and lysozyme activity all significantly increased (p<0.05) when fed the shrimp were fed A、B、C diets. The superoxide anion production (O2-) were significantly higher (p<0.05) when fed the shrimp were fed A、B、C diets on sixth day. The present study showed that diet supplemented with Antrodia camphorate medium could elevate non-specific immune index of white shrimp. Thus, this study recommends that using 0.75~1.25 g/kg Antrodia camphorate medium as immunostimulants elevates non-specific immune of white shrimp.
