“…Moreover, the studies of Urlings et al (1993), Jensen and Mikkelsen (1998) and Scholten et al (1999) showed that fermented feed resulted in improved growth performance and reduced mortality and mobility in growing-finishing pigs because of enhanced nutrient availability and reduced growth and shedding of pathogenic bacteria due to the low pH, which is a result of the high concentration of organic acids (Van Winsen et al, 2001). Similarly results from Lallo et al (1997) showed that poultry offal ensiled with sugar cane molasses can replace up to 30% of commercial feeds for growing pigs without affecting growth performance and health.…”

Thirty castrated finishing male pigs were used to evaluate the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with ensiled Tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) by-products (ECM) on performance and carcass quality. Pigs were allocated to individual pens and fed a control diet (ECM0) with FM as sole protein supplement, and experimental diets where 100 (ECM100), 75 (ECM75), 50 (ECM50) and 25% (ECM25) of the crude protein (CP) from FM was replaced by the CP from ECM. Feed intake was highest in ECM25 and lowest in ECM75 (P<0.05), and daily weight gain was higher in ECM100 than in the other treatments (P<0.01). Feed conversion ratio was improved (P<0.05) with higher inclusion of ECM in the diets. Carcass yield and dressing percentage were not affected (P>0.05) by treatment, but leaf fat and backfat thickness were higher and loin eye area lower in ECM100 compared with ECM0 (P<0.01). Ether extract and polyunsaturated fatty acid contents and meat colour values in Longissimus dorsi muscle increased (P<0.01) with ECM replacement level. Feed costs were lower in ECM100 and ECM75 compared with ECM25 and ECM0.
