Potential Use of Rum Distillery Slops as Animal Feed Supplement. IV. Fodder Yeast Growth in Slops.

Abstract

Experiments on fodder yeast growth in rum distillery slops showed best results in slops with added nutrients, 0.15% N as (NH₄)₂SO₄ and 0.10% P as KH₂PO₄. More than 60% BOD reduction was obtained with a 24-h growth. Average yeast yield obtained was 10 g/L of dried yeast with a 32-40% protein content. The 1:1 slops-water dilution gave the best results.
