Progress on Fermentation Production of Single-Cell Protein for Animal Feed
Biofermentation technology can produce single-cell protein(SCP)by utilizing industrial and agri-cultural low-value wastes,and the fermentation process has characteristics of fast proliferation of microbial bac-teria,small area,no influence by climate and no pollution.SCP can replace traditional animal and plant protein feed materials,which is of great significance to alleviate the current feed grain security and guarantee the sus-tainable development of animal husbandry.This paper summarized the microbial species,fermentation process and influencing factors for the production of SCP,as well as its safety and application effects in animal diet,which can provide reference for further promoting the efficient production and scientific application of SCP for animal feed.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(6):3525-3533]
