Overview

Sheng-Yao Kuang is affiliated with the Sichuan Animal Science Academy in China and has a research focus spanning Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Immunology and Microbiology. Their work prominently addresses topics related to aquaculture disease management and microbiota, aquaculture nutrition and growth, and immune response mechanisms in aquatic species.

Their recent publications include studies on the nutritional and physiological aspects of aquatic animals, particularly grass carp. Notable papers are:

  • Dietary protein levels changed the hardness of muscle by acting on muscle fiber growth and the metabolism of collagen in sub-adult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), 2022, Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
  • Mannan oligosaccharides improved growth performance and antioxidant capacity in the intestine of on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), 2020, Aquaculture Reports
  • Effects of dietary methionine on growth performance, muscle nutritive deposition, muscle fibre growth and type I collagen synthesis of on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), 2020, British Journal Of Nutrition
  • The interaction between dietary fiber and gut microbiota, and its effect on pig intestinal health, 2023, Frontiers in Immunology
  • Lysine deficiency impaired growth performance and immune response and aggravated inflammatory response of the skin, spleen and head kidney in grown-up grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), 2021, Animal nutrition

Frequent co-authors in Kuang's work include Wei-Dan Jiang, Pei Wu, Xiao-Qiu Zhou, Lin Feng, and Ling Tang. These collaborations indicate a broad network within their research community.

Their published research often appears in journals such as Aquaculture, Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Frontiers in Immunology, Animal Nutrition, and Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety. This reflects a diversified engagement across animal science, immunology, and environmental health fields.

Subfields of their research portfolio cover immunology, aquatic science, molecular biology, animal science and zoology, and physiology. The integration of these subfields supports their examination of complex biological systems in both aquaculture and animal health contexts.

The main research themes in their work focus on aquaculture disease management and microbiota, aquaculture nutrition and growth, invertebrate immune response mechanisms, animal nutrition and physiology, environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology, meat and animal product quality, and reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species.
