TH25355Y - The fermentation process of Napier grass to induce digestion in aquatic animals. - Google Patents

Abstract

The fermentation process of Napier grass to induce digestion in aquatic animals requires transforming the grass before use in aquatic animal feed. Therefore, methods were sought to obtain a solution from reacting with the grass for use in aquatic animal feed. This involved drying, boiling, and fermenting fresh grass to find a suitable and safe method for preparing grass for use in aquaculture feed, reducing the use of non-natural feed products.

Claims (4)

1. The Napier grass fermentation process for inducing digestion in aquatic animals: Method 1 involves the following steps: Approximately 60-day-old Napier grass is cut into small pieces. The fresh Napier grass is then dried at a temperature of 70-90 degrees Celsius for 90-150 minutes. The dried Napier grass is then finely ground and sieved through a fine mesh. This Napier grass powder is then used as an ingredient in aquaculture feed. 2. The Napier grass fermentation process for inducing digestion in aquatic animals: Method 2 involves the following steps: 60-day-old Napier grass is cut into small pieces. It is then sun-dried for 10-12 hours until the moisture content is reduced to no more than 8 percent. The sun-dried grass is then finely ground and sieved through a fine mesh to obtain Napier grass powder for use in aquaculture feed. 3. Napier Grass Fermentation Process for Inducing Digestion in Aquatic Animals: Method 3 involves the following process: Approximately 60-day-old Napier grass is cut into small pieces. It is then boiled in water for 10-15 minutes. After boiling, the grass is dried at 70-90 degrees Celsius for 90-150 minutes, then finely ground and sieved to obtain Napier grass powder for use in aquaculture feed. The boiled water is kept for mixing into feed before use in aquaculture. 4. Napier Grass Fermentation Process for Inducing Digestion in Aquatic Animals: Method 4 involves the following process: Approximately 60-day-old Napier grass is cut into small pieces. The grass is then anaerobic fermented for 10-15 days. The fermented grass is then dried at 70-90 degrees Celsius for 90-180 minutes. The dried grass is then finely ground and sieved through a fine mesh screen. This fermented Napier grass powder is then used as an ingredient in aquatic animal feed according to the prescribed formula.
