Abstract

Fermentation of poultry offal to produce an animal feed ingredient was studied. This processes may be an economically attractive treatment for these processing wastes. Poultry wastes were mixed with 5-12% (w/w) molasses and 0.5-2.0% (w/w) salt and allowed to ferment naturally under microaerophilic conditions at ambient temp. (26C). Inhibitory effects of organic acids (benzoic, propionic and sorbic acids) were determined. 12% molasses was required for effective fermentation, whilst addition of salt had no marked effects on pH or microbial profile. 0.5% (v/v) propionic acid was effective in controlling growth of yeasts and fungi. It is concluded that a microbiologically safe silage product could be prepared within 6 days under optimized conditions.
