“…Biological fish silage is considered a valuable source of LAB, which act as probiotics in silagefed animals bringing health benefits (Yin et al 2005;García et al 2007). Fish silage has adequate levels of essential amino acids (Vidotti et al 2003;Ramírez-Ramírez 2009), which can be used as a high nutritional value protein source for the feeding of different animal species such as broilers (Espe et al 1992;Kjos et al 2000;SantanaDelgado et al 2008;Al-Marzooqi et al 2010), pigs (Kjos et al 1999), laying hens (Kjos et al 2001), lambs (Barroga et al 2001), fish (Fagbenro and Jauncey 1998;Vidotti et al 2002;Borghesi et al 2008) and laying quails (Zinudheen et al 2008). It has been reported that the use of diets with fish oil and fish silage may increase the content of polyunsaturated (PUFA) and long-chain omega-3 (C20:1, C22:1, C22:5 and C22:6) fatty acids in pig and broiler meat (Kjos et al 1999(Kjos et al , 2000.…”

“…FS contained the most essential amino acids (methionine, leucine and glycine) compared to fish meal. Kjos et al (2001) reported that acid and fermented FS contains slightly lower amino acids content compared with fish meal especially lysine, methionine, cysteine and tryptophan. Nutritional value of silage may be improved by limiting the extent to which proteins are hydrolysed to polypeptides and free amino acids (Stone & Hardy 1986).…”

This study evaluated the potential of preparing fish silage (FS) as a low-cost, protein-rich supplement for livestock feeding in Oman from ground Indian oil sardines (Sardinella longiceps) using organic and inorganic acids. It was co-dried with wheat bran before being mixed with other feed ingredients and pelleted for feeding Omani sheep. Forty Omani sheep were offered one of five diets aiming to gradually replace soybean meal (SBM) with FS. The proportions of FS in the diet were 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 g/kg, whereas the parallel SBM levels ranged from 17% to 0%. Animals were fed 500 g/d of the concentrates and allowed ad libitum access to Rhodes grass hay. A digestibility experiment was carried out on 12 sheep fed 0, 100 and 200 g/kg FS. The fresh FS dry matter (DM) was 393 g/kg and it contained 510 g/kg crude protein (CP), 220 g/kg ether extract (EE), 153 g/kg ash, 34 g/kg calcium (Ca) and 31 g/kg phosphorus on DM basis. The 75:25 silage: wheat bran mixture contained 883 g/kg DM and 390, 139, 120, 17, 17 g/kg DM CP, EE, ash, Ca and phosphorus, respectively. The FS amino acid contents were comparable to that of the SBM. No ill health signs were observed on experimental animals. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in digestibility coefficients of CP, acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre between the 0, 100 and 200 g/kg FS diets. However, the 200 g/kg silage diet had lower (P < 0.001) DM, ash, Ca, P and energy digestibility coefficients. The study indicated that FS can successfully be made under Omani conditions and may be used as an excellent protein source for feeding sheep.

“…The diet with 3% fish silage had the lowest FCR and it did not differ significantly among the treatments. In an earlier study by Kjos et al (2001), the inclusion of upto 5% fish silage did not affect the egg production, egg quality or feed intake in the laying hens. Espe et al (1992) have reported a non significant effect of 30% dietary inclusion of fish silage on the feed efficiency in broiler chicks.…”

Five weeks old layer Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) birds (180 nos) were randomly distributed into 4 dietary groups with 3 replicates each for 98 days to study the effect of dietary inclusion of acid ensiled fish waste silage on the production performance, egg quality, feed cost, and serum biochemical profile. Fish meal in control diet was replaced by supplementing fish silage at 3%, 6% and 12% of the diet. Significant increase in egg production (p<0.05) and the lowest feed conversion ratio were recorded when birds were fed with 3% silage. But the egg production or feed conversion ratio was not adversely affected by 6% or 12% inclusion of fish silage. Egg quality attributes like weight, shape index, Haugh score, albumen index or yolk index did not differ significantly with the increasing content of silage in the feed. The yolk concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) with increase in fish silage in the diet. The concentration of serum biochemical constituents (total protein, albumen, globulin, cholesterol, triglyceride, alkaline phosphatase, urea and creatinine concentration) did not vary significantly (p>0.05) among the treatments. Serum glucose concentration was the highest in birds fed with 3% fish silage. Lowest cost of feed/kg egg mass was obtained by inclusion of 3% of fish silage in the diet. It was concluded that acid ensilage from freshwater fish waste can replace fishmeal in layer Japanese quail diets without affecting the production of birds besides resulting in reduction of feed cost.
