Introduction Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) is a pleomorphic, enveloped RNA virus, classified as a coronavirus under the family Coronaviridae [1]. The virus was first identified during an outbreak of diarrhea on a Belgian swine breeding farm in 1978 [2]. Upon infection with PEDV, suckling pigs experience diarrhea, vomiting, and high mortality [3]. Since the initial identification of PEDV, it has been...
Crude glycerol is a by-product of the biofuels industry, which has the potential to be used as a feed ingredient in animal diets. However, little is known about glycerol's nutritional value or how it impacts feed quality and feed processing efficiency. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of glycerol on production efficiency of a pellet mill. In all three experiments, diets were manufactured, pelleted, and data collected at the KSU Grain Science Feed Mill. All diets were...

Dear Users,
This is an interesting forum from our Spanish community, generated by Dalibor Atlagich from Chile:
Dear Friends:
I work in a food factory for salmon and my question is:
Is there some physical or chemical factor of the macro or micro blended to produce food ingredients that affect the homogenization of the final mix?
Consider a macro ingredient: fish meal, soy bran, corn gluten, grits sweet lupine, feather meal. And as micro ingredients: Vitamin Premix, Vitamin C,...

In animal feed production, accurate measurement and fine-tuning of the moisture content in the ongoing process ensures a consistently high product quality, reduces the operating costs, and increases margins. The moisture content of animal feeds to a great extent determines the quality of the end product and the margins that a feed producer can achieve. Though the maximum moisture content of feeds is prescribed by law, their...
I´m the General Manager of Fafan Agricultural and Livestock Cooperative. Our cooperative is seeking an advice on how to build cattle feed plant with capacity of 10t/h. So I would like some advice and specification of this plant. ...
What is your opinion about using expander and pelletization for processing poultry feed?
Do you know some data about improving FRC , DWG , mortality?
How you administrate enzymes in feed if you have an expander?
Thank you...
Corn processing equipment uses a pair of cylindrical rollers rotating in relative directions and different speeds to squeeze and cut the maize. Corn processing equipment can be divided into single-roller and double-roller according to number of the roller; horizontal or tilted according to arrangement of the roller; common or auto according to different operations. Corn processing equipment is composed of charger, roller, regulator, cleaner, motor and machine...
I. INTRODUCTION The nutritional value of feed ingredients comprises all nutrients needed for maintenance and production of animals. This paper mainly focuses on the energy value of feed ingredients, which depends on the nutrient composition (starch, fat and protein), the efficiency of nutrient digestion and absorption in the intestinal tract, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs). Although the composition of...

Introduction The importance of pellet feeding to broilers in improving the growth performance and feed efficiency is no longer questionable (Abdollahi et al., 2013a). On the other hand, the process of making pellets may also have detrimental effects on bird performance through chemical and physical changes that occur during pelleting. It is widely believed in the feed industry that the improved performance is due in part...
The goal of feed manufacturing is to produce feed that meets intended specifications in nutritional composition. Today feed manufacturing is a very competitive activity and consistent feed quality is a key growth driver. Quality control and assurance have emerged as a critical feature in the business of feed manufacturing. A quality control system involves personnel being properly trained to ensure a high level of organization, documentation and policing of...
Introduction Grinding of feed ingredients is used to reduce the particle size and increase energy and nutrient digestibility (Wondra et al., 1995d; Laurinen et al., 2000; Mavromichalis et al., 2000; Kim et al., 2002) and it is usually accomplished with the use of either roller mills, hammer mills, or a combination of roller and hammer mills. It is currently recommended that corn grain be milled to an average particle size...
