Silage

A liquefied product prepared by acid hydrolysis of fish or fish wastes. Used as a feed for animals. Formic acid or a mixture of formic and propionic acids are commonly used at 3-4% of the weight of fish or wastes. These silages do not need to be neutralised before use as feeds and are not corrosive to mild steel containers. Mineral acids, for example sulphuric acids, can also be used. They are much cheaper than formic and propionic acids but are corrosive to mild steel and need neutralising before use as feeds.
