Summary, Etc. Note: |
Abstract: The fish meals produced today have in general proved to be excellent sources of protein for the balancing of farm-animal rations. Some potential users, however have refrained from feeding these products because of reports implying that fish meals, when fed to farm animals and poultry, have caused symptoms of toxicity. |

|
Abstract: It was considered possible that the meals suspected of producing toxic symptoms may have been subjected to conditions after manufacture that had altered them in an unsatisfactory manner. Therefore, the effect of excessive heat and humidity to simulate extremely unsatisfactory storage conditions was studied with pilchard meal. |

Abstract: Pilchard meal was incorporated in otherwise purified diets containing as much as 25 percent protein; of which more than 95 percent had been derived from pilchard meal. When these diests were fed to rats and chicks it was found that the excess heat and high humidity had not adversely altered the nutritive value of the meal. This indicates that fish meals can be used liberally in farm-animal rations as a source of minerals and superior protein, provided ordinary care is used to balance properly the ration for the other essential food elements. |
