Introduction. The substitution of corn to sorghum, in addition to a lower price, has greater resistance to drought, which favors its cultivation in various regions with low rainfall (Fialho; Barbosa, 1997). Although rustic, sorghum loses to be less productive and the carotenoid deficiency in maize, an effect that may be corrected by inclusion of pigments in the diets of poultry (Oliveira et al., 2008). The aim of this study was to evaluate the...

Good day. Sticking exclusively to the processing/treatment, I would like to specify some aspects to improve the use of fiber in pigs: - It is important to quantify the particle size of the most relevant grains, such as grasses: maize, sorghum and legumes: Soy, for example. The studies conclude that particles of maize grain and GF sorghum with respect to grains> 1,000 μm. In the case of Soy, it has been shown that between 600 and 700 μm is the recommended range in most diets for...

Introduction Feed pelleting can be defined as conversion of finely ground mash feed into dense, free flowing pellets or capsules, in a process involves steam injection (moisture & heat) and mechanical pressure. There are several advantages for feeding broilers on pelleted rather than mash feed. The main advantage is the improved bird performance (improved feed intake, weight gain and...

A new study about the nutritive characteristics of canola meal from Canadian processing facilities has been published recently in the Animal Feed Science and Technology magazine (Adewole et al, 2016). The authors evaluated samples of canola meal collected from eleven canola processing facilities in Canada over 4 successive years (2011–2014). Overall, the contents of various components of canola meal in percentage of dry matter (DM) basis were:
crude protein: 41.7% DM...

In this industry, we talk about protein a lot. This is because it helps evaluate the value of an ingredient or diet. The type of protein we are talking about though is “crude protein”, which is a routine chemical measure that’s been around since the 1800’s. ...

INTRODUCTION Acidulated soapstock is a fat source produced by the acidification of residues produced during the refining of vegetal oil for human consumption. Several types of soapstock have been used in broiler feeding, and are composed either of a unique source or blends of different fats. Soapstocks have high free fatty acid content. Acidulated Soybean Soapstock (ASS), for example, is composed by around 70% free fatty acids compared to less than 1% in soybean oil (Lipstein...

The nutritional quality of soybean meal is determined by several factors, one of these thermal treatments are performed during processing and producing the inactivation of toxic and / or soy antinutrients. There are several anti-nutritional factors that limit absorption a number of nutrients, reducing by more than 50% its nutritional value and carry negative digestive effects. Some of these factors are trypsin inhibitors, hemagglutinins, goitrogenic factors,...

Introduction
A three-phase growout process is commonly used in the commercial production of hybrid striped bass in earthen ponds. Phase I fingerlings, 2.2 to 3.3 lb/1000, are stocked into phase II ponds at a density of approximately 12,000/acre. Harvest of fish (2.2 to 4.5/lb) from phase II ponds is followed by size grading that precedes stocking into ponds (3,500/acre) for the final growout phase. Size...

In modern poultry nutrition, traditional fibre sources are associated with some negative attributes such as energy dilution of the diet and mycotoxin contamination and are usually not included during linear formulation. However, fibre is also suggested to have a positive effect on the intestinal microflora and the intestinal health including for poultry. While some nutritionists believe that crude fibre is an integral part of the poultry diet, others argue that...

The use of Expanders on Solvent Extraction Plants has been implemented for several years with a high degree of success. Properly cooked and flaked oilseeds are feed into the Expander in presence of controlled temperature, moisture and residence time in order to produce collets, increasing porosity of the surface which improves the solvent (hexane) percolation into the extractor and subsequently the amount of solvent used per ton of seed is being reduced. This reduction allows to use less...

1. Introduction Primarily for the provision of energy density, grain sorghum is quite frequently included in rations for pigs, poultry and feed-lot cattle. However, in a recent meeting held by the Australian Feed Grain Partnership in December 2012, nutritionists from the three industries expressed concern about the efficiency of energy utilisation in animals offered sorghum-based diets. Essentially, the energy provided...
