A Proposed Method to Assess Safety and Health Impact of Expired Sausage as Alternative Feed in Traditional Fish Farm

Abstract

A recent trend of alternative feed made from expired sausage in traditional fish farm could reduce 20%-25% of production cost. However, expired sausage suspected as hazardous food since it contains pathogenic microbes that cause a serious problem in farmed fish health and it can be carried to human health. This paper aims to propose a method to map a relation between feeding management and farm productivity in relation to the potential risk of expired sausage as an alternative feed to fish and human health. The study was conducted by reviewing available literature of fish feeding management, alternative feed and its pathogenic microbes related to fish farm productivity. Then we linked and mapped the results with the potential risk in fish and human health using hazard analysis.
