A trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of combination of soybean meal (SBN), mustard oilcake (MOC), sesame oilcake (SOC) and linseed oilcake (LOC) as alternative for dietary fish meal (FM) protein for Labeo rohita fingerling for a period of 56 days. Six experimental diets were formulated by replacing 30, 50, 60, 70 and 100% (2 diets) of the total dietary fish meal protein by the combination of FM, SBM, MOC, SOC, and LOC. The combinations of the protein sources were as diet 1 (FM 100%), diet 2 (FM:SBM:MOC::70:15:15), diet 3 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::50:20:20:10), diet 4 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::40:20:20:20), diet 5 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::25:30:15:30), diet 6 (SBM:MOC:SOC:LOC::25:25:25:25) and diet 7 (SBM:SOC:LOC::40:30:30). The performances of these six test diets were compared with the diet 1 (control). All diets were iso-nitrogenous containing about 30% protein. The growth trial was conducted in a flow through system under laboratory condition with three replications for each treatment. On the basis of the growth response, food conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) diet 7 showed better performance followed by diet 1, diet 2, diet 5, diet 3, diet 4 and diet 6 respectively but those were not significantly different (P>0.05). The diet 6 produced the lowest performance. The apparent protein digestibility (APD) values for all the experimental diets were very nearer but significantly different (P0.05) in diets even from control one which were formulated to evaluate the effects of combination of low cost oil seed cakes as dietary protein source for Labeo rohita fingerling. Hence, it might be concluded that from the economic point of view, that all the low cost oil seed cakes which are locally available can be used in combination form as the alternative protein source for the feed of Labeo rohita. Key words: Oil seed cakes, Labeo rohita, fingerling, protein source.   doi:10.3329/ujzru.v27i0.1949 Univ. j. zool. Rajshahi Univ. Vol. 27, 2008 pp. 25-30

The cost of compound feed is a constraint in intensive fish and poultry farming, contributing 60-80% of the total production costs, 70% of which is due to fish and soy meal used as protein source. This review presents the extent to which insects have been utilised as an alternative protein source in feed in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). A key word search of agricultural, biological and multi-disciplinary databases and academic search engines was conducted for literature on the extent of research and utilisation of insects in poultry and fish feed in SSA. There is limited published information on the practice as well as technical and economic feasibility of the use of insects as alternative protein ingredients in compound feed. This is likely because research on the subject is fairly recently initiated and yet to be published. Excluding South Africa, rearing, processing and use of insects is still at experimentation level at laboratory scale. Insects (grasshoppers, house fly maggots, Westwood larvae, termites and garden snail) meal replaced conventional protein sources by 10-100% without affecting the growth performance of fish and poultry. In some cases, insect based feed performed better than conventional feed. Nutritional composition data of insects published for SSA majorly focused on proximate composition and not characterisation of the nutritional quality. Several research and development projects on the technical and economic feasibility, social acceptability and potential social-economic impact are ongoing and expected to increase available data when completed. Published research confirms the potential of insects for use in poultry and fish production systems and mass production and processing of target insects is the next necessary step. Based on available and ongoing research, piloting and up-scaling the use of insects as alternative protein sources in animal feed in partnership with private sector in SSA is necessary. This will confirm and enhance the technical and economic feasibility of using of insects as an alternative protein source on a commercial scale.

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of different protein sources (plant or animal source) as substitution of 50% soybean meal protein in the flushing diet on early reproduction performances of doeling. The treatments were three types of flushing diet, i.e., Control diet containing soybean meal (C), diet containing Indigofera meal (IM), and diet containing cricket meal (CM). Diet IM and CM were substitution of 50% soybean meal protein in the ration. Completely randomized design was used with three treatments and four replications by using twelve Sapera doeling. The experiment with flushing diet was done started from three weeks before mating (including adaptation), during mating and following one month after pregnancy. Parameters measured were nutrient consumption, BCS, plasma glucose, cholesterol, progesterone hormone and reproductive performance. The results showed that treatments of utilization of different protein sources were not significantly affected the feed consumption, BCS and reproductive performances of doeling, but it had significant effect (P<0.05) on plasma glucose and cholesterol. The protein source of Indigofera and cricket meal showed in improving of progesterone status to support until 30 days pregnancy. Diet containing cricket meal could improved onset estrous and duration of estrous. It was concluded that cricket meal can be used as an alternative protein source to substitute of 50% soybean meal protein in the Sapera doeling flushing diet and it can improve the reproductive performances.

Livestock feed encompasses both human edible and human inedible components. Human edible feed components may become less available for livestock. Especially for proteins, this calls for action. This review focuses on using alternative protein sources in feed and protein efficiency, the expected problems, and how these problems could be solved. Breeding for higher protein efficiency leading to less use of the protein sources may be one strategy. Replacing (part of) the human edible feed components with human inedible components may be another strategy, which could be combined with breeding for livestock that can efficiently digest novel protein feed sources. The potential use of novel protein sources is discussed. We discuss the present knowledge on novel protein sources, including the consequences for animal performance and production costs, and make recommendations for the use and optimization of novel protein sources (1) to improve our knowledge on the inclusion of human inedible protein into the diet of livestock, (2) because cooperation between animal breeders and nutritionists is needed to share knowledge and combine expertise, and (3) to investigate the effect of animal-specific digestibility of protein sources for selective breeding for each protein source and for precision feeding. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics will be important tools.

Fish farming including freshwater crayfish still has a dependency on the availability of fish meal as the main source of protein in feed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate alternative protein sources including poultry by-products, feather meal, lupine flour, soybean meal and meat, and bone meal for smooth marron (Cherax cainii) freshwater crayfish feed. A total of 150 juvenile marrons (9.09 ± 0.21 g) were kept for 90 days and distributed into 15 rearing tanks consisting of five treatments with three replications. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the increase in biomass, survival rate, moulting rate (weight), feed efficiency ratio, and feed digestibility (P> 0.05). However, marron juvenile fed with a protein source of poultry by-products meal had the highest specific growth rate (0.31 ± 0.05 g / day). In addition, marron fed with fish meal protein resulted a significant increase in carapace length (P <0.05). Based on the digestibility test, it was found that the digestibility level of the feed ranged from 76.39 ± 0.01 - 79.11 ± 0.01% and replacement of fish meal had no significant effect on dry matter digestibility (P> 0.05). Overall, the results of this study indicate that the general growth performance of marron is not affected by the replacement of fish meal in the feed. Alternative protein materials can be used as a protein source to replace fish meal in marron feed so that the use of fish meal can be reduced.

Blaptica dubia is a cockroach that used as feed for most reptiles and amphibians because of itnutritive value. Its alternative protein sources can replace the current high priced imported animalfeed such as fishmeal, soybeans and meat. It has potential as an animal feed and minimize highlivestock farming cost of the farmers. A study was conducted to determine the nutritionalcomposition (moisture, ash, crude protein, chitin and fat) of B. dubia in different growth stages.Moisture and ash determine using AOAC protocol, protein using Kjeldahl method, chitin usingchemical treatment and fat analysis using soxhlet extraction method. The proximate analysis ofadults and nymph of B. dubia contained 59.06-62.70% moisture, 2.47-4.17% ash, 47.50-54.32%crude protein, 3.83-5.58 % chitin and 35.49-44.22% fat on dry weight. Thus, the tested feed pelletscould be an alternative protein source as the animal feed especially in pet industry.

Protein sources are the second largest component of practical poultry diets. A limitednumber of ingredients are used by the mainstream commercial poultry industry tosupply protein; these are limited in distribution and are also generally more expensivethan energy sources. Soybean seed is the premier protein source used by the poultryindustry. Rapeseed or canola seed is probably the second most important proteinsource. Both seeds are rarely fed as whole seed meals but rather the residue left overafter oil extraction is the main ingredient used by the poultry industry. Both soybean andrapeseed are cultivated in only a few places in the world. Soybeans are predominantly2 Alternative sources of protein for poultry nutrition© Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited, 2017.

The key producers ofsoybean meal export the product to several countries around the world, to the extentthat it would seem that it is produced all over the world. A large amount of canola seedmeal is now also exported but not to the same extent as soybean meal (SBM). Owing tothe limited number of producers and demand, the prices of SBM and canola meal arehigh and tend to fluctuate with changes in climatic conditions and social situations in thecountries where they are produced. These are the drivers of change, and many countrieswhich do not produce soybeans or canola explore alternative sources of protein tosupport their industries.The range of ingredients that can supply protein for poultry is wide. Many animalscontain high levels of protein, and if these are not used for human food, they can bedirectly processed into poultry feed. The animal industries, including the poultry industry,yield by-products that are also useful sources of protein. A few examples include blood,feathers and meat-on-bones. Among plant sources, different ingredients commanddifferent levels of importance. Some alternative sources are of such local importancethat the poultry industry in those areas relies almost entirely on them rather than SBMor canola meal. Good examples of such ingredients are peanut meal or groundnut cakeand sunflower seed meal, with substantial production outputs globally. Many other plantprotein sources are truly marginal in scope and their potential to replace soybean isnegligible. Regardless of the volume of production of an alternative protein source, anyshift in use of ingredients other than SBM and canola will greatly reduce the pressure onthese key protein sources. Such a shift would also help promote the development of thepoultry industry in many areas of the world. This chapter examines the range of alternativeingredients that are available to the poultry industry, their sustainability and means todevelop them to prominence as protein sources.
