Therefore, the aim of this research was to develop crackers from freshwater fish, catla and if found successful, become a part of food industry on large scale. Methods: Fresh fish, Labeo catla were procured from local market, available at Nagpur city, Maharashtra. The mince was prepared using meat mincer. The corn flour and seasonings were purchased from local market. The 60:40 ratio of fish mince to corn flour was used for making crackers. The minced meat, corn flour, salt and seasonings were mixed to form smooth dough. Dough was placed in boiling water at 100°C, boiled for 15 minutes and cool down for 15-20 minutes. Dough was cut into 2-3 mm thick slices, sun dried for 2 days and fried in edible oil at 180-200°C for 30 seconds. Result: The results indicate that crispy, golden brown colored crackers were developed from mince of catla fish with excellent nutritional quality. The developed crackers were rated as ‘liked more’ among the panelists. This may replace wafers from plant origin in near future to meet the ever-increasing demand of nutritious food to the people.","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85098527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a potential alternative for fish replacement in the diet of quails. Methods: A study on 240 Japanese quail birds from day old to six week of age was conducted at Poultry Research Station, Madhavaram Milk Colony, Chennai with magmeal supplementation during the year 2015-16. The birds were divided into four groups and each having with three replicates with 20 birds in each replicate. Group 1 (Control group) was fed basal diet (with 7% fish meal), group 2 was fed basal diet replacing 50% fish meal with magmeal, group 3 was fed basal diet replacing 75% fish meal with magmeal and group 4 was fed with Japanese quail basal diet replacing 100% fish meal with magmeal. Economic evaluation of magmeal at various levels of inclusion in Japanese quail diet was calculated. Result: There was a sizeable reduction in the cost of production in all the treatment groups when compared to control group. It is concluded that feed containing magmeal was found to be cost effective than the feed containing fishmeal for the Japanese quails.","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85324008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
