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,...

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...

BACKGROUND The global population demands high quality meat and the preference for offal continue to be on the increase. This investigation evaluates consumers' preference and associated pathological conditions observed in cattle and goat offal in Kumasi, Ghana. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross sectional survey and structured questionnaires involving 200 adult respondents were adopted. 105 samples ...

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 ...

In two experiments, 720 broiler strain cockerels were used to determine the effect of pressure and temperature on poultry offal meal (P.O.M.) quality. Poultry offal meals were subjected to 20, 28 and 35 pounds per square inch gauge (p.s.i.g.) steam pressure for <1 or 15 minutes (Experiment 1) and 15, 30 and 45 p.s.i.g. steam pressure for 15 or 30 minutes (Experiment 2). All pressures were allow...
