I. INTRODUCTION Currently, the majority of feed used in the production of broilers is fed in pelleted or crumbled form. One of the major issues in the manufacture of pellets is the application of high conditioning temperatures. The need to reduce potential levels of feed-borne pathogens such as salmonella and campylobacter for feed safety and to achieve high pellet quality has led to the application of relatively high (between 80 and 90 ºC) conditioning temperatures during...

Introduction Corn processing plays a pivotal role in the bioethanol industry, utilizing both wet and dry methods to extract valuable components from corn. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is essential for producers aiming to optimize efficiency and product quality, particularly in the production of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS). In this article, we explore the two processing methods, their implications for DDGS production, and the...

A premix is a mixture of vitamins, trace minerals, medicaments, feed supplements and diluents. It is a value added solution for feeds with sustainable safety and quality. The premix industry is charged with the responsibility of manufacturing a high quality premix consistently, efficiently and economically. Its main objective is to deliver the micro ingredients in a manner desired by the consumer. Premixing has progressed from the simple hand mixing of several ingredients to...

1. Raw Material 1.1 The main raw material to obtain Poultry Meal is mainly chicken viscera, to which other by-products such as chicken carcass can be added in small quantities to improve consistency, especially during pressing process downstream. Table 1 indicates how many by-products are generated depending on the number of chickens...

Greetings All, I’m new to the forum and appreciate the wealth of knowledge here. I’m looking into single-cell protein (SCP) produced from methanotrophs or microalgae for animal feed applications and am curious about any practical considerations from the feed mill side. Beyond nutritional or toxicity questions, I’m wondering if anyone has encountered operational challenges with these ingredients—such as issues with machinery handling, potential...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM A principal goal of nutritionists is to provide birds with a balanced diet that maximizes production at the least cost. Meat bird performance is maximized when feeding pelleted diets (Patton et al., 1937; Hussar and Robblee, 1962; Jensen et al., 1962). However, the nutritional value of feed presented to birds in feed pans throughout the house may not align with diet formulation due to mixer uniformity, feed line length, pellet degradation, and subsequent...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the emergence of new products for human and animal consumption has intensified, which could be produced exclusively through the extrusion process. In particular, those produced with high levels of protein, derived from pulses, known as plant based. Several products of this type now available in supermarkets imitate pieces of meat, whether analogous to steaks or fillets, whether chicken, beef, fish, or even imitating seafood. The upper layer of fish...

I.INTRODUCTION Both overheating and underheating affect the nutritional value and quality of SB (Karr-Lilienthal et al., 2004). Undercooked SB results in an excessive concentration of antinutritional factors, such as TI, decreasing the intestinal activity of pancreatic proteases. In contrast, excessive heat treatment results in a Maillard reaction that reduces nutrient digestibility (Araba and Dale, 1990). Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the contributions of...

Nelson Ruiz (Nelson Ruiz Nutrition LLC) A set of 24 solvent extracted commercial soybean meal (CSBM) samples, which corresponded to the same lots of CSBM used in the field, were evaluated. The CSBM were from different origins (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, U.S.). The objective herein was to evaluate the relationship between KOH protein solubility (KOHPS, a measurement of overprocessing) and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA, a...
