The last piece to contribute to nutritional value is the negative effects of anti-nutritional factors. Poultry by-product meal and feather meal do not have anti-nutritional factors like those found in soybean meal. Soybean meal may contain a variety of anti-nutritional factors including protease inhibitors, phyto-haemagglutinins, glucosinolates, phytic acid, saponins, estrogenic factors, flatulence factor, anti-vitamin E factor, anti-vitamin A factor, anti-vitamin D factor, anti-vitamin B12 factor, allergens, and non-starch polysaccharides – oligosaccharides.

Quality and Consistency It is generally understood that the quality of aquafeed affects the quality of the finished fish product. But not everyone considers the importance of the entire supply chain for aquafeed production. Poultry by-product meal and feather meal utilise the by-products from the production process for human food products. These by-products are the raw material used to create the feed ingredient. The quality of the ingredients and the raw materials used to create the ingredients contribute to the nutritional value of the aquafeed and the fish that eat them. Another factor gaining attention in the marketplace is the traceability of all ingredients in the supply chain to their original source. This means a grocery store or restaurant that buys a finished fish product may ask for the origins of all ingredients fed to the fish. The quality and consistency of feed ingredients not only affects the quality and consistency of the fish growth, but may also affect future relationships with customers.

Cost Effectiveness So how cost effective are alternative proteins? If the amount of digestible protein is factored against the market cost of the protein, then a truer value becomes apparent. Feather meal has a digestible protein % of 68. Combine that percentage of protein with the low market cost and the cost effectiveness of feather meal becomes clear.

Good Business Practice Renewable, reusable, sustainable; these are all terms used to describe ecologically healthier practices. Choosing a protein ingredient that is already part of the food supply chain for humans eliminates waste and allows natural resources to be used for production of other foods for human consumption. Rendered products like poultry by-product meal and feather meal provide good nutritional value from a sustainable supply source.

Plymouth University Fish Nutrition and Aquaculture Health group conducted research from 2005 to 2011 (commissioned by Stephen Woodgate, previously technical Director of EFPRA; European Fat Processors and Renderers Association), which resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications (Davies et al 2009; Laporte, 2007). The research, carried out under Professor Simon Davies, validated the safety and efficacy of poultry by- product meals and feather meals in diets for trout, sea bass, sea bream, turbot, tilapia and carp. The results demonstrated the feasibility of replacing fishmeal with these products at high inclusion levels resulting in excellent growth, feed efficiency and added health benefits for these species. In addition to excellent digestibility, poultry by-products were shown to increase bone density and support the immune response of these fish.

Additional nutritional value is also found by examining the amino acid profile for protein ingredients. Alternative proteins provide a consistent balanced amino acid profile with many essential amino acids. They are also high in proline, glycine, and glutamic acid, which attract fish and work as a palatant.
