Technological advances, which focus on both cost savings in the form of reduced down time as well as optimal flexibility in terms of capacity and quality, have been in demand by the industry. The physical quality of fish feed product can be defined by: * Density * Shape and size * Uniformity * Durability * Water stability The nutritional quality of fish feed can be defined as: * Recovery of essential amino acids and specific...

Good day,
Which is the best way of determining the grade of starch gelatination during the conditioning? I’m aware that it’s done in an analytical lab, but is there another way (tables, organoleptic mechanism)? A colleague mentioned a temperature-based way, can someone enlighten me in this issue?
Many thanks
Dr. Sinclair

A relatively cheap ethanol byproduct mixed with an old nutritional standby might help pork producers cut feed costs.
Gary A. Apgar, an animal scientist at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, has been testing a blend of distillers' grains - the fat, minerals, vitamins and fiber remaining after corn's starch becomes fuel - and soybeans, a traditional protein source for swine. The combination turns out to be every bit as nutritious as soybean meal and, because grains cost less than...

Optimising pellet processing to boost pellet quality and profitability

It is well recognized that feed represents the most significant cost of animal production. Even with sheep, which typically consume more forage (as a percentage of their diet) than do other domestic species, feed may represent 55% or more of total production costs. For poultry at least 70% of the production costs estimates are feed costs. In today’s industry, few producers or nutritionists would consider feeding animals without giving detail attention to energy and amino acid...

Scientists from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada have reviewed the effects of processing technologies on nutritional properties of soybean meal, canola meal, peas, lupins and flax in aquaculture diets. The replacement of fish meal with plant proteins in aquaculture diets presents several problems. Firstly, aquaculture diets, particularly diets for carnivorous fish species, are nutrient dense and may contain up to 450 g crude protein (CP)/kg. Such diets preclude the use of...

The desire for flexibility in the production line has existed since the earliest days of feed processing. In this article, we will discuss the methods available today for increasing extrusion system flexibility, together with one of the most important resulting benefits – minimizing downtime required for configuration changes. The extrusion cooking process can control a wide range of product characteristics, such as shape, color, texture, bulk...
