Fat components, energy in poultry byproduct meal provide valuable nutrients to shrimp
Poultry byproduct meal can replace much of the fishmeal in shrimp diets. To better understand the nutritive value of its fat, the authors analyzed the fat components and conducted a feeding trial.

Opportunities for rendered animal proteins in aquaculture feeds
Rendered animal proteins present viable alternatives to fishmeal in aquafeeds. High digestible protein and energy contents make them cost-efficient in low-fishmeal formulations.
