Good article about Distiller's grains. DDGS with antibiotics may be a blessing in disguise to 3rd world countries when feeding costs are considered but the consequence on the over all human health implications may be too expensive to bear.The development of antibiotic resistant strains of organism is one of the major challenges to health and chemotherapy.  Dr Igwe U Eddy

I did a little research whereby I combined natural feeding process with artificial feeding, which resulted in delayed growth, but gave a ...

Dear editor, I sent in an article on the improved extruding machine which would be of great benefit for floating catfish feed for developing nations but you did not publish it. Let me know the criteria for publishing an article. Thanks. Dr Igwe Eddy
