Extract

While it is generally agreed that fish meal protein is of high biological value for non-ruminants, variations in quality are known to occur as a result of differences in the nature of the parent material (Duckworth, Woodham and McDonald, 1961) or in the method of processing (Grau et al., 1959; Ousterhout and Snyder, 1961). Duckworth, Woodham and McDonald (1961) have shown that the Gross Protein Value offish meals can range from 92 to 119; within this range white-fish meals had a mean value of 102 while the mean value for herring meals was 113. Differences of a similar order have been reported by other workers (Record and Bethke, 1933; Heiman, Carver and Cook, 1939; Robertson, Carver and Cook, 1940; March, Stupich and Biely, 1949; Carpenter, 1954; Carpenter, Ellinger and Shrimpton, 1954; Duckworth, 1955).
