Engineer Josef Barbi, President of E.S.E & INTEC, presents part of an integrated pelleting and extrusion plant for aquaculture feed from ESE's factory in Caney, Kansas, with equipment ready for export. The system includes a 250 HP pellet mill for organic shrimp feed (5–8 t/h, 2 mm pellets), an 8–12 t/h extrusion line, and a total capacity of approximately 30 t/h. The plant incorporates Evolution fine grinding (200–250 microns), high energy efficiency, an...

Introduction As the world population continues to grow, along with the consumption of animal-sourced foods, animal production in the world is expected to grow in the decades ahead. The OECD and FAO estimated that, due to population growth and the ongoing transition towards a higher intake of animal products, global livestock production will grow by 14% from 2020 to 2029 (OECD/FAO, 2022; Ritchie and Roser, 2019). However, the statistic differs between continents and regions of the...

WHY IN VITRO METHODS MATTER Traditionally, diet formulation has relied on in vivo trials to determine digestible and metabolizable energy. These trials are accurate but slow, costly, and raise ethical concerns. Existing in vitro systems, meanwhile, are often too simplistic or poorly standardized to replace live-animal trials. Simulated Digestion System (SDS III) changes this. Developed over more than a decade of research, it uses computer-controlled digestion to simulate the...

INTRODUCTION In the tropics, grasses are the main source of food for livestock; however, during the drought season, growth and quality of forages is low, affecting animals productivity. Therefore to evaluate alternatives for forage replacement during that period, turns necessary. Sugarcane is a crop produced in more than 100 countries worldwide, and its biomass production exceeds that of any other forage, making it a good animal feed strategy for sustainable agricultural...

Introduction Barley is one of the main cereals produced in Norway and is used in broiler feed in low amounts due to high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (Bedford 1995; Knudsen 2014; Svihus and Gullord 2002) and lower energy value compared to maize, wheat or sorghum (Choct and Annison 1990; Khalil et al. 2020). The NSP fractions comprising soluble βglucans and arabinoxylans have gel-forming characteristics and are known to increase intestinal viscosity (Choct 2006),...
