Comparative study on the efficiency of FUTY smoking kiln and traditional smoking drum

Freshly caught mud catfish (Clarias anguillaris) and Tilapia (Oreochromis niloficus) collected from lake Geriyo in Adamawa state were smoked using different Kilns in order to evaluate the efficiency of the Smoking Kilns. The products from Federal university of Technology, Yola (FUTY) Improved Processor (FIP) were of better quality than the Traditional Smoking Drum (TSD). The use of these two processors revealed the profitability to fisher folks. marketers and fish farmers in the utilization of the FIP compared to the TSD as losses incurred was minimal. The qualities of the smoked Clarias anguillaris and Oreochromis niloticus were determined from their various peroxide values obtained after a 28 days storage period. The physi-cochemical parameters of the smoked samples were obtained. Products from FIP were of better quality than the TSD.
