Abstract
Fish ensilage for animal feed stuff was prepared from Jew fish (Pseudosciaena spp .) and Silver bellies (LPiognathus spp .) by fermentation with pure culture of Lactobacillus pianfarum NCIB 6105. The precooked ensiled product gave better product of fish silage (high content of lactic acid, about 5 per cent). Protiein Nitrogen content ranged between 1.76 to 1.94 per cent. During storage for one year, the Protein Nitrogen loss was not significant . The material can be used as a supplemental animal ration.
