Assessment on potential production and utilization of fish silage in Bangladesh, Philippines and Thailand
2021Also available in:
No results found.A significant amount of fish by-products is produced during fish processing. These by-products represent 20–80 percent of the fish and provide a good source of macro- and micronutrients. Yet they often go unutilized, when they can easily be converted into a variety of products including fishmeal and oil, fish hydrolysates, fish collagen, fish sauce, fish biodiesel and fish leather. The production of fish silage using organic acid is a good example of the simple and inexpensive conversion processes which can be employed. Fish silage production uses minced by-products or minced whole fish unsuitable for human consumption as raw material, before adding a preservative to stabilize the mixture – usually an organic acid such as formic acid. The process breaks down protein into free amino acids and small-chain peptides which have nutritional and antimicrobial properties, therefore, the fish silage can be used as healthy feed and fertilizer. The feasibility studies on fish waste management in Bangladesh, Philippines and Thailand outline existing good practices on the utilization of by-products and fish waste. Furthermore, the insights provided on the potential production and utilization of fish silage in each country are promising in terms of increasing the productivity of the fisheries sector, reducing post-harvest waste, increasing economic value and improving environment sustainability. -
ProjectFactsheetManaging Antimicrobial Resistance in Thailand - TCP/THA/3503 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat. Although much of it can be attributed to the (mis)use of antimicrobials in humans, the overuse of drugs in food animal production also threatens the effective treatment of human and animal diseases. Only limited data on the use of antimicrobials in food animals in Thailand and the Asia and Pacific region are available. However, indirect evidence indicates the widespread misuse of antimicrobials in animal production in the country and region. Awareness of the threat of AMR development and spread is low among public authorities and professionals involved with animal production, and few countries in the region have systems in place to monitor antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR, carry out risk assessments and develop evidence-based policies for AMR risk management. The project was aimed at assisting the Government of Thailand to contain the spread of AMR in the country through enhanced and harmonized national capacity for AMU and AMR monitoring and AMR risk management, following international guidelines and standards. Project outputs included the development of education and information materials on AMR, guidelines and capacity development activities to reduce the risk of AMR, and the establishment of sample protocols and laboratory diagnostics.
