FISH MEAL AS A STOCK AND POULTRY FOOD. 21 



An enormous field is opened up to the various fishing industries for 

 the preparation of a valuable material either from waste residues or 

 from whole fish and for the utilization of this material to better 

 advantage than heretofore. Likewise for the farmer, stock raiser, 

 and poultry man, a hitherto neglected source of supply of a high- 

 protein feeding stuff is available. 



In the light of the recorded experiments on the use of this material 

 for feeding purposes and the feeding tests with the herring meal 

 prepared from the sardine waste, conducted in this department, it is 

 believed that all doubts as to the feasibility of using fish meal as a 

 feeding stuff may be dispelled, and it is confidently expected that in 

 time it will take its place as one of the leading protein concentrates 

 used as a supplementary stock food. 



As a final conclusion in regard to the subject of fish meal as a 

 stock food it can be said to those who may be interested in pro- 

 ducing this material that there is a great need and a splendid oppor- 

 tunity in the market for it. 



To those who may be interested in using the product it can be 

 said that fish meal is as valuable as other widely used high-protein 

 feeding stuffs, and in some instances has been proved more valuable 

 than these; that it does not impart its flavor to animal products if 

 fed in reasonable amounts in conjunction with other foods; and, 

 finally, that it should be given consideration whenever a high-protein 

 foodstuff is required.
