Optimization And Biodegradation Of Feather Waste
Feathers are by-product waste of poultry processing plant and produced in large amount. Waste feathers from poultry were not a major concern for the environment or for the plants and poultry farms. But with the increasing production of poultry which might be accompanied with an increase in feather waste. In this study, feather-degrading bacteria and the production of keratinolytic and proteolytic enzymes by these organisms was investigated.
