Josef Barbi discusses E.S.E INTEC´s business and upcoming growth with the opening of new processing & extrusion plants in many countries around the world at FIGAP/VIV America Latina 2010. ...
Wilmer Pacheco (Auburn University) discussed his presentation on grain quality, grinding, pelleting, NIR analysis and mycotoxin control, during IPPE 2019 in Atlanta, USA....
Introduction Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] meal (SBM) is typically the main protein feedstuff included in livestock diets (Félix et al., 2010; Oliveira et al., 2020). After being subjected to an adequate heat treatment, SBM has a high crude protein content, as well as a high digestible energy and low fiber contents (Félix et al., 2010). In general, SBM makes up 30% of broiler diets (Duarte & Junqueira, 2013). However, broiler performance is strongly...
The main factors affecting the safety of feed include the quality of feed raw materials, the safe storage of feed raw materials, the control of the quantity of various additives in formula, the control of artificial addition in processing, the reasonable design of feed processing technology and the proper selection of the parameters, process management and feed storage management after processing. Only strict control of the processing process of each link, can produce safe feed. ...
I. INTRODUCTION Estimating the available energy of feed ingredients is fundamental to formulating a well-balanced diet and lower the production cost. Measurement of apparent metabolisable energy (AME) is the accepted standard procedure for evaluating the available energy value of ingredients for poultry, as it is simple and straightforward and considers most of the energy losses after digestion and metabolism (Carré et...
1. INTRODUCTION Consumer demands and the pressure of supermarket chains are changing rapidly the way eggs are produced. Enriched cages are not considered a sound alternative to improve animal welfare standards in the developed countries. Consequently, the industry is moving hens from battery cages towards alternative systems, such as deep litter and aviary barns, with or without access to an outdoor area. In addition, organic production with non-beak trimmed hens, under...
Srs. Any technical docs about roll shell configuration (e.i, dimpled, corrugated, helical etc.)? What's the best configuration? Does it differ or affect in the kind of feed ingredient used? Appreciate all your ideas and answers, Thank you. ...
INTRODUCTION The physical form of the diet is a tool to improve broiler live performance, especially feed efficiency. However coarse feed particles enhance gizzard function, which was referred to as the pacemarker of gut motility (Xu et al. 2015a, Xu et al. 2015b, Kheravi et al. 2017). Studies respect to particle size impact on health, digestive efficiency and broiler performance were developed more than 60 years ago (Pacheco et al. 2014, Xu et al. 2015a, Xu et al. 2015b)....
INTRODUCTION Pelleting is the most common form of thermal processing used in broiler feed manufacturing, aggregating the particles of ingredients into a cylinder by means of mechanical pressure, moisture, and temperature. A wide range of temperature and moisture can be used during conditioning, usually from 60°C to 100°C and 12 to 18% moisture (Hancock, 1992). Increase in feed intake (FI) is among the main reasons that motivate agroindustries to pellet feeds...
Introduction The rapid growth of the ethanol industry in the United States during the last decade has resulted in large quantities of ethanol coproducts in the marketplace, which are now commonly available as feed ingredients for livestock and poultry. These coproducts are often added to animal diets as sources of protein and energy. Mineral concentrations in the coproducts are also an important consideration in animal feed formulations. A large portion of ethanol...
What options are available for optimizing the pelleting process of an extruder? ...
On Engormix's Spanish speaking community a great discussion has been originated a few months ago and is covering the experiences in the use of a pellet mill having 2 or 3 roll assemblies. A few manufacturer names came into the picture as CPM and Andritz being the most popular. A great debate between available surface area in the pelleting chamber verse pellet mill capacity has been created and there are some good comments/experiences from either end users or equipment manufacturers. It is my...
This article will make a similarity of both companies from the perspective of the meat byproducts rendering plants. Walmart is the largest and most successful retail company in American history and Kmart was its direct competitor in its early days. Walmart focused on improving its process not only in technology, but it also trained its employees so that they understood the importance of reducing costs without deteriorating the quality and their service, focusing in details. Kmart invested in...
