No results found.The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill. -

No results found.The terms of reference were discussed with the Government Project Officer (GPC) on arrival and it was decided that the most pressing needs were to provide in service training for government scientists on the methods used to quantify the levels of lipids, amino acids and vitamin C in fish feeds and fish tissues. As mentioned in my 1990 FAO Final Report on the project, this was made more critical by the assignment in August, 1990, of Nanthiya Unprasert to Mississippi State University, where she is pursuing a Ph.D. in fish nutrition and will be occupied until 1993, at least. Until 1990, prior to my consultancy, Ms. Unprasert was the only government scientist in the Fish Nutrition Project at NIFI who had sufficient training to operate the High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) for analyzing amino acids and vitamins, or the Gas Chromatograph (GC) for analyzing fatty acid methyl esters. Therefore, the progress of research at NIFI was slowed after Ms. Unprasert's assignment to Mississip pi State University by the lack of trained staff to conduct the required analytical determinations needed to complement the planned feeding trials central to the mission of NIFI and the FAO/UNDP project. Training was therefore provided in 1990 to Dr. Wimol, Mr. Pairat Kosutarak, and Ms. Amornrat Sermwatanakul to establish familiarity with HPLC equipment, especially which elements of HPLC operation were most critical with regard to safety and equipment integrity. In 1991, Dr. Wimol was much more confident on HPLC operation, and no additional training on basic HPLC operation was required other than a brief review of procedures. -
