I . Pigs from 20 to 60 kg live weight were fed on cereal diets, supplemented only with vitamins and minerals, with and without supplementary lysine. 2. Growth rate, feed:gain ratio and carcass quality of pigs given a high-barley diet (75 barley meal, 23 % wheat offal) were inferior to those of pigs given a high-wheat offal diet (75 :h wheat offal, 23 yo barley meal). 3. On both diets, but parti...

The proximate composition, pepsin digestibility, gross energy and macro mineral contents of 12 composite samples of poultry offal meal produced in Sri Lanka were analyzed. The average dry matter, ash, crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, in vitro pepsin digestibility and gross energy of poultry offal meal were 92.3, 6.9, 48.9, 2.1, 32.4, 83.8% and 23.6 MJ kg, respectively. The average Ca,...

Fermented mixtures containing fish-offal meal (FOM) and mulberry leaf meal (MLM) were used as protein supplement to partially replace fish meal (FM) in the formulation of diets for the Indian minor carp Labeo bata. The diets included a reference diet (20 % FM), three diets of fermented mixture of FOM and MLM (T2–T4) replacing 50 to 75 % of FM. Formulation of diet with 30 % FOM, 24 % MLM and 5 ...

Three diets were formulated and produced with Dried Broiler manure (DBM), Maize Offal (MO), Cassava flour meal (CF), Thrashed tilapia Fish (TTF)b pork-lard (PL). They compared conventional feed ingredients for growth, survival, nutrients utilization cost evaluation indices in 150 days. The biological data obtained from the fish fed at 5% biomass did not revealed any significant differences (P&g...

There is great variation in discarding practice among fisheries in different parts of the world. Management systems result in some fisheries discarding mostly fish offal, much of which is macerated into small chunks, while other fisheries discard large (ca. 25 cm) whole fish. Scavenging seabirds consume high proportions of most categories of discarded fish and offal (typically 60 to 80% of disc...

Based on the nutrient requirement of blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus fingerlings as reported earlier, nine experimental diets with 350 g protein, 80-100 g lipid and 16-17 MJ digestible energy/kg diet were formulated using snail meat (D-1), freshwater fish processing waste (D-2), surimi by-product (D-3), chicken offal (D-4), earthworm (D-5), squid (D-6), mussel (T-7), chicken liver (T-8)...
