| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to investigate the use of microbial protein produced from organic wastes as a source of protein in chick starting rations. Microbial protein recovered from the mold mycelia was produced when potato waste materials were homogenized and added to a mineral salt containing a culture medium suitable for the action of a strain of Aspergillus niger. The new product containing approximately 29.0 percent protein was added to chick starting rations, replacing the soybean protein. Sixty-two percent of the protein in the ration were supplied by soybean meal. The length of the feeding trial was four weeks. Results of the feeding trials showed that fungal protein was effective in supporting body maintenance but was ineffective in stimulating growth. Palatability of rations and poor feed consumption were factors contributing to slow growth. However, feed utilization was less of a problem as shown by nitrogen retention trials. |
