FISH MEAL AS LIVESTOCKFEED INCiREDJENT

( Second Revision)

o. FOR E W 0 R 0

0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 30 December 1983, after the draft finalized by theFish and Fisheries Products Sectional Committee had been approved bythe Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.

0.2 The increasing awareness of the importance of adopting scientificmethods in livestock management in India has promoted the developmentof better feeds. The incorporation of fish meal in feeds. especially poultryfeeds, has now become a regular practice, Fish meal is a rich source ofhigh quality protein and contains, besides calcium and phosphorus, certaingrowth factors which are necessary for maximum growth rate and hatch­ability in poultry. Since fish meal now available shows wide variations inits important constituents, it is felt that the formulation of this IndianStandard would help in promoting the manufacture and use of fish meal ofa uniform quality so that it may be increasingly used by producers oflivestock feeds.

0.3 Fish meal suitable for use as livestock feed ingredient is made either bywashing, cooking, pressing, drying and pulverizing non-fatty or fatty freshfish or fish waste. It may also be prepared by heat treating non-fatty,unsalted dry fish to such an extent as would ensure destruction of harmfulmicro-organisms, followed by pulverizing.

0.4 This standard was first published in 1967. It was revised in 1975 toincorporate additional requirement and method of test for chloride contentand to include revised methods of tests for crude protein, crude fat andacid-insoluble ash achieving correct analytical results. In this revision, titleof the standard has been revised and crude fat requirement modified.

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated" expressing

3

IS : 4307 - 1983

the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS: 2.1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes requirements and methods of sampling andtest for fish meal to he used as livestock feed ingredient.

2. GRADES

2.1 The fish meal shall he of two grades, namely, Grade 1 and Grade 2( see Table I ).

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Raw Material- Fish meal shall be obtained from fresh fish and/or fishwastes or from unsalted dried fish or all of them, eliminating poisonousfishes.

3.2 preraratioD ._- The fish meal shall be prepared by cooking the rawmateria or by heat-treating the dried fish. pressing the cooked mass, dryingand pulverizing the treated material to the required mesh size ( see 3.3.1 ).

3.3 Product Requirements

3.3.1 Fish meal shall be in the form of powder ground to such finenessthat 99 percent of material shall pass through 2·g0..mm IS Sieve.

3.3.2 The material shall have the characteristic odour and shall he freefrom any off-odour indicative of spoilage.

3.3.3 The material shall be free from adulterants, arthropod infestation,visible fungal growth and any harmful material.

3.3.4 The material shall also conform to the requirements prescribed inTable 1.

3.3.5 Microbiological Requirements - The material shall be free fromSalmonella as detected by the method given in 6 of IS: 5887-1970t.

4. PACKING AND MARKING

4.1 Packing - Fish meal shall be packed in high density polyethylene bagsor jute bags with polyethylene lining inside. The mouth of each bag shallbe either machine stitched or rolled over and hand stitched.

• Rules for round ins off numerical values ( revised ).t Method for detection of bacteria responsible for food poisoning and food-borne

diseases.
