Abstract
The use of the term “Unidentified Growth Factors” (UGF) dates back to around 1920, but most research work started from 1950 onwards[(16)]. They were identified in fish extract, fish meal, fermentation products and their residues and lucerne (alfalfa) meal. Particularly good sources of UGF are de-hydrated fish solubles (see chapter 21) and distillers’ feeds (see chapter 13)([4], [5], [6], [12], [14]). Squid might also be a source of UGF since there is no explanation for good performances of shrimps when added to the diet[(8)].
