Fish Processing Wastes Used As Feed Ingredient for Animal Feed and Aquaculture Feed Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences 6(2) 55-64 2020 Fish processing wastes used as feed ingredient for animal feed and aquaculture feed Afreen M.1; Ucak I.1* Received: May 2019 Accepted: July 2019 Abstract: Fish wastes management has become a global problem from the last years. Dispose of seafood wastes cause environmental pollution. To overcome this issue these unwanted seafood products are used for the formation of animal feed and aquaculture feed. These unwanted products include small fish and those parts of fish which are not used as human food. These unwanted parts include viscera, head, fins and skin of fish. These byproducts are rich source of protein, minerals and vitamins so these can be used as a supplement in animal feed. These are also used to fulfill the deficiency of protein in animals. These byproducts can be used in the form of fish meal, fish oil, and protein hydrolysates and fish silage. Protein hydrolysates provide high amount of nitrogen and fish oil provide triglycerides of fatty acids and phospholipids in the animal feed industry. These are also used in the formation of pet feed and in the formation of fertilizers. These byproducts are processed for feeding by using fermentation, biotechnological and bio preservation techniques.

  • Common Terms Used in Animal Feeding and Nutrition
    Common Terms Used in Animal Feeding and Nutrition Uttam Saha, Program Coordinator, Feed and Environmental Water Laboratory Leticia Sonon, Program Coordinator, Soil, Plant, and Water Laboratory Dennis Hancock, Assistant Professor, Extension Forage Specialist Nicholas Hill, Professor, Crop and Soil Sciences Lawton Stewart, Assistant Professor, Extension Beef Specialist Gary Heusner, Professor, Extension Equine Specialist David E. Kissel, Professor and Director, Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories The largest operating cost in a livestock production enterprise is the feed bill. To keep this cost low, one must sup- ply the right amount of feed to the animals. Overfeeding is wasteful. Underfeeding will decrease animal perfor- mance and profitability. Therefore, proper animal feeding and nutrition are crucial to the profitability of the live- stock enterprise. Laboratory analyses of the composition of feed or forage are used to assess their nutritive value (Figure 1). A typi- cal feed analysis includes measurements of some important quality attributes or parameters (e.g., crude protein, fiber, digestibility, etc.) used to define nutritive value. Other parameters are analyzed under some special circum- stances. For example, acid detergent insoluble crude protein (ADICP) is usually only measured if heat damage to the feed is suspected.

  • Resources for Fish Feed in Future Mariculture
    Vol. 1: 187–200, 2011 AQUACULTURE ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS Published online March 10 doi: 10.3354/aei00019 Aquacult Environ Interact OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS AS I SEE IT Resources for fish feed in future mariculture Yngvar Olsen* Trondhjem Biological Station, Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT: There is a growing concern about the ability to produce enough nutritious food to feed the global human population in this century. Environmental conflicts and a limited freshwater supply constrain further developments in agriculture; global fisheries have levelled off, and aquaculture may have to play a more prominent role in supplying human food. Freshwater is important, but it is also a major challenge to cultivate the oceans in an environmentally, economically and energy- friendly way. To support this, a long-term vision must be to derive new sources of feed, primarily taken from outside the human food chain, and to move carnivore production to a lower trophic level. The main aim of this paper is to speculate on how feed supplies can be produced for an expanding aquaculture industry by and beyond 2050 and to establish a roadmap of the actions needed to achieve this. Resources from agriculture, fish meal and fish oil are the major components of pellet fish feeds. All cultured animals take advantage of a certain fraction of fish meal in the feed, and marine carnivores depend on a supply of marine lipids containing highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA, with ≥3 double bonds and ≥20 carbon chain length) in the feed. The availability of HUFA is likely the main constraint for developing carnivore aquaculture in the next decades.

  • Breeding Oats As High Quality Animal Feed Sandy Cowan*, Irene Griffiths
    Breeding oats as high quality animal feed Sandy Cowan*, Irene Griffiths Catherine Howarth, Tim Langdon and Athole Marshall IBERS, Aberystwyth University, Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, SY23 3EE, Wales, UK In contrast to many other parts of the world, oats in the UK are mainly used for human consumption with oats not of milling quality sold for animal feed. However some dedicated markets for feed oats exist including feed for racehorses. At IBERS we breed husked and naked varieties of winter and spring oats that are marketed by our commercial partners Senova Ltd. There has been considerable effort in recent years aimed at the development of naked oats predominantly for poultry and monogastrics. Naked oats have some of the highest metabolizable energy (ME) values of the cereals and we have made good progress breeding high yielding naked oat varieties with high energy and protein. Recent studies in the Quoats project demonstrated the value of naked oats for animal feed. Their high oil content together with good protein content and the composition of essential amino acids make them an ideal ingredient. Naked oats also have some established niche markets such as inclusion into feed for companion animals, racehorses and as wild bird food. However they have not yet achieved mainstream adoption as animal feed probably due to the lower yield compared to husked oats. Husked oats produce higher yields and are more widely available than naked oats. For the ruminant market we are now developing oat varieties that combine a high oil groat with low lignin husk (trade mark “HiDioat” Senova Ltd). The high oil provides the high ME value for the feed ration and the low lignin husk is more digestible than a standard husk, making an ideal ruminant feed and as a husked oat will immediately be 20-30 % higher yielding than naked oat.

Received: 21 January 2019; Accepted: 14 March 2019; Published: 21 March 2019 Abstract: The economic and environmental sustainability of aquaculture depends significantly on the nature and quality of the fish feed used. One of the main criticisms of aquaculture is the need to use significant amounts of fish meal, and other marine protein sources, in such feed. Unfortunately, the availability of the oceanic resources, typically used to produce fish feed, cannot be utilized indefinitely to cover the worldwide feed demand caused by ever-increasing aquaculture production. In light of these considerations, this study estimates how aquaculture farm economic outcomes can change by introducing insect meal into the diet of cultivated fish. Several possible economic effects are simulated, based on various scenarios, with different percentages of insect flour in the feed and varying meal prices using a case study of a specialized off-shore sea bass farm in Italy. The findings indicate that the introduction of insect meal—composed of Tenebrio molitor—would increase feeding costs due to the high market prices of this flour and its less convenient feed conversion ratio than that of fish meal.

As the United Nation’s four-hundred-page report, Livestock’s Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options, documents, livestock production is now one of three most significant contributors to environmental problems, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, water pollution, and increased health prob- lems. The paper draws on the UN report as well as a flurry of other recently published studies in order to demonstrate the effect of intensive livestock production on global warming and on people’s health. The paper’s goal is to outline the problems caused by intensive livestock farming and analyze a number of possible solutions, including legis- lative changes and stricter regulations, community mobilizing, and consumers choosing to decrease their demand for animal products.

  • Agriculture: a Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition
    Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Updated June 16, 2005 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 97-905 Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Summary The complexities of federal farm and food programs have generated a unique vocabulary. Common understanding of these terms (new and old) is important to those involved in policymaking in this area. For this reason, the House Agriculture Committee requested that CRS prepare a glossary of agriculture and related terms (e.g., food programs, conservation, forestry, environmental protection, etc.). Besides defining terms and phrases with specialized meanings for agriculture, the glossary also identifies acronyms, abbreviations, agencies, programs, and laws related to agriculture that are of particular interest to the staff and Members of Congress. CRS is releasing it for general congressional use with the permission of the Committee. The approximately 2,500 entries in this glossary were selected in large part on the basis of Committee instructions and the informed judgment of numerous CRS experts. Time and resource constraints influenced how much and what was included. Many of the glossary explanations have been drawn from other published sources, including previous CRS glossaries, those published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies, and glossaries contained in the publications of various organizations, universities, and authors. In collecting these definitions, the compilers discovered that many terms have diverse specialized meanings in different professional settings. In this glossary, the definitions or explanations have been written to reflect their relevance to agriculture and recent changes in farm and food policies.

INTRODUCTION The feed balance sheet questionnaire was agreed by the “Crop products statistics” Working Party of the Agricultural Statistics Committee. The “total availability” column of the balance sheet refers to the quantities of all products intended for use for animal feeding during the reference period. Normally, specific animals feed products are asked for in the questionnaire. For headings where no specific products are named (e.g. “by-products”, “other” or “not specified”), Member States should use their own classification, detailing the products concerned. Eurostat needs to know what products are included under these headings in order to know accurately the corresponding metabolisable energy and digestible crude protein quantities involved. Some feed products are covered by a supply balance sheet and the quantities that should be entered in the animal feed balance questionnaire for these products are those given under “animal feedingstuffs” in the relevant supply balance sheet.
