Fish meal grades SL1 and SL2 from Sardine (Sardinella longiceps) and NJ from Pink Perch (Nemipterus japonicas) were evaluated as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen in the medium for alkaline protease production by Bacillus pumilus MTCC 7514. The analysis of the fish meal suggests that the carbon and nitrogen contents in fish meal are sufficient to justify its choice as replacement for other n...

The study was conducted at Pig farm of AICRP on Pigs, Livestock farm, Adhartal, College of Veterinary Science & A.H., Jabalpur (M.P.) for a period of three months. A total of 36 Large White Yorkshire crosses (LWY X Desi) were randomly assigned to six different groups and diets were formulated as per ICAR (1998) standard. All the diets were isoproteinous except group-6, which was formulated as p...

The use of a’ meat and bone meal as the main protein source for pigs of 20 kg was investigated. It was compared in two feeding periods with soybean and fish meals alone or with mixtures of the two. The pigs, fed either the soybean or the fish meal or the meat and bone meal with either soybean or fish meal, had significantly heavier weight gains than the pigs fed a ration with meat and bone meal...

Fish meal and fish oil replacement has been the focus of very significant research efforts and hundreds of scientific papers in recent years. Despite years of research, fish meal and fish oil remain very important, quasi essential, components of successful commercial feeds for most fish and crustacean species. This generally has an impact on the feed and production costs for many aquaculture pr...

in the present work we study the use of fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (ftnirs)technique to analysis the calcium (ca), phosphorus (p) and copper (cu) contents offish meal. the regression methods employed were partial least squares (pls) and kernelpartial least squares (kpls). the results showed that the efficiency of kpls was better thanpls. as a whole, the application of ft-nirs ...

Animal protein, generally fish meal, has traditionally been used in the diet of channel catfish. However, our previous research indicates that animal protein is not needed for growing stockersize catfish to food fish when the fish are stocked at densities typical of those used in commercial catfish culture. Whether this holds when fish are stocked at high densities is not known; thus, we conduc...

Juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss diets containing PepSoyGen, a commercially-available fermented soybean meal product, were supplemented with methionine and other amino acids. A fish meal-based control and four experimental diets were used in a 36-day feeding trial; two diets contained 40% PepSoyGen and 10% fish meal, and two diets contained 50% PepSoyGen and no fish meal. Each of thes...
