Storage of Waste Products for Animal Feed

  • Chapter
The Lactic Acid Bacteria Volume 1

Abstract

Lactic acid fermentation represents a low-cost method for preparation of food and feed products characterised by high hygienic quality and improved shelf-life (Frazier & Westhoff, 1988; McDonald et al., 1991). The technology developed for the fermentation of silage crops relies on a rapid lactic acid production in sufficient concentrations which in combination with anaerobicity suppress spoilage organisms and preserve the feed until it is needed (McDonald et al., 1991). This technology has also been evaluated for the preservation of by-products of animal and vegetable origin to be used as animal feed (Peppler, 1983; Woolford, 1984; Nash, 1985).
