I'm very much impressed with your findings. Thank you. I allowed my blood meal to ferment naturally for 5 days without inoculating with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Is it healthy to feed it to my fishes? Catfish I mean?

Thank you for your comment, Papa. We are glad to hear that you found our research article on "Fermentation of Blood Meal with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as Broiler Feeding" to be impressive. Regarding your question about feeding naturally fermented blood meal to your catfish, we would advise caution as natural fermentation can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria that could be detrimental to your fish's health. We recommend using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or other safe inoculants to ensure the safety and quality of the fermented blood meal. It is also recommended to consult with a veterinarian or an expert in fish nutrition to ensure that the feed meets the specific nutritional requirements of your catfish. We hope this information helps, and thank you for your interest in our research.
