Here in the UK our processors are getting used to the idea that they have to pay to dispose of waste fish material, rather than have it sent back to sea. Often this is in relatively small quantities but on a daily basis. A project in the SW of England is seeking ways to use the waste, one project is looking at fish silage. In the past this has not taken off because the end product is too heavy to retain a commercial value if transported around. Does anyone know of either, a way in which small producers can use the waste, rather than having it sent to costly industrial waste disposal contractors or of any recent advances in fish silage perhaps on a small scale, for example, are there any farm scale silage systems that would allow the product to be manufactured where the end product could be fed to pigs direct.
Thanks all.
