Comparison of the Feeding Value of Steam Dried and Flame Dried Menhaden Fish Meal

ABSTRACT

The comparative feeding value of steam dried and flame dried menhaden fish meal was determined by conducting two separate 120-day feeding trials during two successive years with two groups of yearling heifers. Fish meal made up 10 per cent of the total ration fed daily per heifer.

There was no significant difference between the two meals in either trial in respect to gains in weight produced. The only difference was the better general body condition of the animals in the flame dried group in Trial I. There was no apparent difference in body condition or physical appearance of the two groups in Trial II.

No difference was noted in the palatability of the two meals

Insofar as the results secured from this series of feeding trials are concerned, it was definitely demonstrated that there was no difference in growth-promoting properties between the two meals when fed on an equal weight basis.
