The aim of the study was to investigate the possible use of mussels and algae wastes processed into
high quality and safe food additives for the poultry. Black sea mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis
Lamarck) and algae (phyllophora) were used as a waste product. The samples were taken from the
households where mussels were initially processed at an agar plant. Waste samples and derived
additives were tested for bacterial load, quality and chemical composition. In addition, proteinmineral
and mineral additive were produced from waste products. Their possible uses in poultry
meat production were investigated. It was found that contamination with mesophilic bacteria and
facultative anaerobic organisms fluctuates within current requirements. Sometimes even
substantially exceeds them depending on waste storage conditions. The contamination with E. coli,
Salmonella, and other pathogenic microorganisms is also observed within existing requirements
or exceeding them. Chemical analysis reveal that intact mussels consist of average 80% wet matter
and 20% dry matter, 9.4% protein, 1.2 % fat, 4.8 % nitrogen free extractive substances, 0.18% ash,
24.5 g/kg calcium, 1.0 g/kg phosphorus, 0.18 g/kg potassium. On the other hand, mussel valves
consist of % 12 wet matters and % 88 dry matters, 37.2g/kg calcium, 0.2 g/kg phosphorus, 0.1 g/kg
potassium. Use of additives in poultry production positively affects development and slaughter-out
percentage and does not reduce the quality and biological value of their meat. As a conclusion it
can be said that non-waste product from processed mussels represent a kind of raw material which
can be used as food additive in animal industry after being technologically processed.
