A simple technology for production of vegetable-carried blood or rumen fluid meals from abattoir wastes

Optimization of the utilization of blood meal with palm oil fronds absorbance fermented as feed stuff to changes of nutrition content

“…Processing of blood meal with absorbent refers to Makinde and Sonaiya [5] (modified method). The palm fronds were chopped and air-dried under the sun for 24 hours.…”

“…Several previous studies have applied absorbent technology derived from agricultural waste to speed up the process of drying cattle blood. Research on the processing of blood meal by using absorbent corn waste and obtained the results of the drying process of cattle blood faster and increasing the nutritional content of corn waste as animal feed [5].…”

The potential of two vegetable-carried blood meals as protein sources in African catfish (<i>Clarias gariepinus</i>, Burchell) juvenile diets

“…Live performance of juveniles were evaluated in terms of mean weight gain (MWG), average daily gain (ADG), specific growth rate (SGR), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), feed cost/g gain (FCGA), and mortality (as % survival). 4 Soya bean oil. 5 Provided the following (per kg diet): Vitamin A, 12,500 IU; Vitamin D, 2500 IU; Vitamin E, 40 mg; Vitamin K, 2 mg; Vitamin B1, 3 mg; Vitamin B2, 5.5 mg; Niacin 55 mg; Calcium pantothenate, 11.5 mg; Vitamin B 6, 5 mg; Vitamin B 12, 0.025 mg; Choline chloride, 500 mg; Folic acid, 1 mg; Biotin, 0.08 mg; Manganese, 120 mg; Iron, 100 mg; Zinc, 80 mg; Copper, 8.5 mg; Iodine, 1.5 mg; Cobalt, 0.3 mg; Selenium, 0.12 mg; Anti-oxidant, 120 mg.…”

“…Brewers' dried grains blood meal (BB) and rumen content blood meal (RB) produced as described by Makinde and Sonaiya (2010) [4] formed protein sources in formulating two diets. Briefly, blood was mixed twice to dewatered rumen content and brewers' dried grains at predetermined ratios and then sun-dried for 3 -4 h before milling.…”

“…The focus of research in this area is on use of vegetable or plant protein alternatives [1,3]. One of such potential feedstuffs is vegetable-carried blood meal [4], where crop residues or vegetable carriers (wheat offal, dewatered rumen contents, maize offal and brewers' dried grains) used as absorbents for blood were sun-dried and milled. Trials of these novel feedstuffs as replacement for expensive fishmeal in broiler chickens suggest a good potential alternative to fishmeal [5].…”
