Transformation of Hotel Food Waste into Animal Feed: Two Operational Periods of the Food for Feed Pilot Unit

Lactic acid fermentation of food waste for swine feed.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus salivarius) inoculation on the microbial, physical and chemical properties of food waste mixture (FWM) stored at ambient temperature (25 degrees C) for 10 and 30 days. A complete pig diet including restaurant food waste, bakery by-product, barley and wheat bran, and broiler poultry litter was amended w...

Iodine in animal nutrition and Iodine transfer from feed into food of animal origin

Iodine is an essential trace element for humans and animals. More than 95 % of total iodine is accumulated in the thyroid gland. The only known roles of iodine in metabolism are its incorporation into the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and into the precursor iodotyrosines. Both hormones have multiple functions in the energy metabolism of cells, in the growth, as a t...

Medicated Feed For Food Fish

ganisms which are continually present in the water, soil, and air. Most bacteria are beneficial (e.g., they help digest foods and break down ammonia, nitrite, and organic debris in the environment). There are a number of different bacteria that cause disease in cultured freshwater food fish such as catfish, salmon, and trout. In aquaculture, many bacterial diseases of fish can be successfully t...

Representative sampling for food and feed materials: a critical need for food/feed safety.

Algae in Food and Feed

Algae are primary producers which present a remarkable source of different nutrients. While the high protein content of various species is one of the main reasons to consider them as an unconventional source of proteins, oils from microalgae rich in some PUFAs seem particularly suitable for children, pregnant women, vegetarians and patients with fish allergies. Since algae also represent an imp...
