Abstract

Feed availability is a crucial factor in aquaculture, accounting for approximately 6070% of total production costs. High-quality feed is often expensive due to reliance on imported ingredients. To address this issue, animal-based organic waste presents a promising alternative, given its abundance, underutilization, and high nutritional value when properly processed. This review was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 using a narrative literature review approach, synthesizing previous publications to identify research gaps and development opportunities. Literature was sourced from national and international scientific databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and ResearchGate. The study aimed to explore the production of fermented animal by-product meal and its application in aquafeed to enhance fish growth performance. Findings indicate that fermentation significantly improves the nutritional quality of animal waste. Several reviewed studies reported that incorporating fermented by-products such as fish offal, poultry feathers, and blood at inclusion levels of 2025% can improve the growth and survival rates of juvenile fish. Therefore, the optimal use of such ingredients is recommended to reduce feed costs and support the sustainability of aquaculture systems.Keywords:Alternative ingredientsFish wasteChicken Feather WasteBlood WasteFermentationFish feed

Abstract

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is the biological conversion of ammonium to nitrogen gas (N2) using nitrite as an electron acceptor. This study evaluated the performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) in nitrogen removal at room temperature using Candidatus Brocadia fulgida, an anammox bacterium previously cultivated from Lake Koto Baru, Tanah Datar, Indonesia. The MBR was operated for 48 days with a hydraulic retention time of 24 h under a continuous supply of ammonium and nitrite, with both substrates provided at influent concentrations of 70, 150, and 250 mg-N/L. Samples were collected twice a week and analyzed via UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The stoichiometric ratios of ∆NO2−-N/∆NH4+-N and ∆NO3−-N/∆NH4+-N were 1.13 and 0.15, respectively, which were consistent with the anammox reaction. The maximum nitrogen removal performance, including nitrogen removal rate, ammonium conversion efficiency, and nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE), reached 0.515 kg-N/m³∙d, 92.76%, and 91.27%, respectively, at a nitrogen loading rate of 0.566 kg-N/m³∙d. Anammox bacteria from Koto Baru Lake showed high NRE at room temperature using MBR.
