Ž . The use of a co-extruded soybean poultry by-product meal CEPM and flashed dried poultry Ž . by-product meal FD-PBM was evaluated as replacements for fish meal in a practical diet formulated to contain 32% crude protein and 8% lipid. Each meal was substituted for menhaden Ž fish meal on an iso-nitrogenous basis and offered to juvenile Litopenaeus Õannamei mean initial . Ž wt."S.D., 0.37"0.01...

an experiment was conducted to determine apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein (cp) and amino acids (aa) and digestible cp and aa of fish meal (fm) in 21-d-old broiler chickens using the regression technique. four diets containing 0, 1, 2, and 3% fm in place of cornstarch were formulated with fm as the sole contributor of cp and aas in the sequential diets. eighty 14-d-old broiler chick...

This study was carried out to measure the prececal protein and ether extract digestibility of shrimp and fish meal using the regression approach. A total of 280 Cobb 500 day-old broilers (mixed sexes) were randomly allotted to 7 treatment groups (4 replicates of 10 broilers each) in a completely randomized design. Feed intake was higher in the birds that received protease-supplemented shrimp me...

Costs of compounded diets containing fish meal as a primary protein source can be expected to rise as fish meal prices increase in response to static supply and growing demand. Alternatives to fish meal are needed to reduce production costs in many aquaculture enterprises. Some plant proteins are potential replacements for fish meal because of their amino acid composition, lower cost and wide a...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of replacing fish meal with plant sources on growth performance, immune responses, hematological parameters and disease resistance in rainbow trout. In this study, mean of initial body weight of fish was 15±2 g and the experiment was carried out for a period of 60 days. Four experimental diets were formulated to replace 0, 40, 70 and 100% fish me...

The tilapia industry has grown significantly. Much waste is generated by the industry due to the fact that only the myomere muscles are removed and sold for human consumption. This portion constitutes approximately 36% of the entire fish, leaving 64% of the fish as waste lost during the various processing operations. This waste from the tilapia processing plant has the potential of being an alt...

—Taurine has been demonstrated to be conditionally indispensable for several carnivorous fish species. Current trends in trout production include decreasing levels of fish-meal content in feeds, along with faster growing strains of fish. Taurine may be a limiting nutrient in support of elevated planes of growth for rainbow trout. A 9-wk feeding trial was conducted using a factorial treatment de...

This thesis is based on four studies to determine the nutritive value and ileal and total tract amino acid digestibility of agro-industrial by-products, and the effects of inclusion of these by-prod...

The objective of this paper is to present a parsimonious forecasting model for the fishmeal price. The focus is on the soybean meal market’s impact on the fish meal price through the soybean meal futures price together with the stocks-to-use as an indicator of demand and supply conditions. A salient feature of the fishmeal market is the impact of the ENSO events on fishmeal supply. This possibl...

Two trials conducted in 1996-97 measured BW and body condition score changes of cows fed different sources of degradable intake protein, including dried poultry waste and soybean meal, while grazing low-quality winter forages. In Trial 1, 60 spring-calving cows (5 yr; 555 kg) were used in an individual supplementation trial. Cows were gathered three times a week, sorted into individual pens, an...
