A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of replacing fish meal with processed animal by-product meals, meat meal and blood meal (4:1 ratio), in practical diets for juvenile grouper (Epinephelus coioides).
Read the ingredients before you select his food--the first five ingredients listed are the major products in the food--avoid foods that list "by-products," "meals," or "digests" as these are sub-standard sources of protein for your new pooch.
These results indicate that fish meal can be replaced with plant protein sources in diets including 16% poultry by-product meal without affecting shrimp growth and production.
Certain ones can legally, and healthfully, be added to dairy products, meal-replacement bars, soy milk and fruit juice.
Test ingredients included white fishmeal (WFM), brown fishmeal (BFM), porcine meat and bone meal (PMBM), poultry by-product meal (PBM), feather meal (FEM), soybean meal (SBM), peanut meal (PNM), cottonseed meal (CSM) and rapeseed meal (RS M.
Experimental treatments included four diets with varying levels of fish meal in the diet (9, 6, 3 and 0%) in combination with 16% poultry by-product meal, a plant based feed containing 1% squid meal, and a commercial reference feed.
This study was conducted to examine the effect of different proteases with varied optimum pH range (acid and neutral) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed poultry by-product meal-based diets.
A positive control (PC) corn-soybean meal-based diet containing 3% poultry by-product meal was formulated on digestible amino acid basis, and it was supplemented with acid protease mix (80 g/t; PC-A), neutral protease mix (160 g/t; PC-N), or 50/50 combination of the two (120 g/t; PC-C).
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that bacterial lysine by-product meal (BLBM) as a substitute of soybean meal in the diet on equivalent crude protein basis can regulate growth performance and the excretion of purine base derivatives in growing-finishing pigs.
A 3 × 2 × 2 experiment using 3 levels (0, 30 and 60 g/kg) of poultry by-product meal (PBM), two levels (180 and 190 g/kg) of crude protein (CP) and two levels of exogenous protease (with and without) was undertaken using factorial arrangement under completely randomized design.
It was also reported that 80% FM could be replaced by co-extruded soybean and poultry by-product meal supplemented with egg in indoor recirculating water system (Davis and Arnold 2000).
