Description
Abun Abun, Kiki Haetami, and Rahmad Ramdhan feed chickens a waste-based additive in this 2026 trial. The additive is made by fermenting catfish processing scraps and sealing them in tiny capsules, pitched as a way to replace antibiotic growth boosters in poultry feed.
Six diets were compared, from plain feed to feed with an antibiotic, plus four additive levels up to two percent. Energy use and nutrient digestion improved with the additive, peaking around the 1.5 percent level, where one harmful gut germ also fell by about a sixth. Other germs were unchanged. The authors back 1.5 percent as the sweet spot for a value-added use of fish waste.
