Production of Microbial Protein to Feed Domestic Animals

Abstract

In the paper it is presented the importance of alternative systems to solve the protein deficit in the diet of farm animals, using a variety of microorganisms as producers of protein grown on waste organic substrates. Indicates to the biotechnological specificity of the microbial conversion of organic substrates into the feed with a high protein content, as well as the selection of the biological producers and row materials, which are used for the production. An important part of this work refers to proteins enrichment of coarse plant material (with increased content of cellulose, lignocellulose, starch, etc.) by direct cultivation of microorganisms on them, in order to improve their quality and digestibility by the domestic animals.

U radu je prikazan značaj alternativnih sistema rešavanja proteinskog deficita u ishrani domaćih životinja, korišćenjem različitih mikroorganizama kao producenata proteina gajenih na otpadnim organskim supstratima. Ukazuje se na biotehnološke specifičnosti mikrobiološke konverzije organskih supstrata u stočnu hranu sa visokim sadržajem belančevina kao i na odabir bioloških producenata i sirovina koje se koriste za tu proizvodnju. Bitan deo ovog rada se odnosi na proteinizaciju grubih biljnih materijala (sa povećenim sadržajem celuloze, lignoceluloze, skroba i sl.) direktnim gajenjem mikroorganizama na njima, a u cilju poboljšanja njihovog kvaliteta i svarljivosti od strane domaćih životinja.
