Improving process knowledge
A piece on a European project aiming to plug holes in feed pelleting process knowledge was one of our Top 10 most read stories in August.
A public-private collaborative project led by Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is looking to understand the fundamentals of feed pelleting to support the use of more fibrous co-products, thus further enhancing the sustainability profile of the sector.
The research initiative, Pelleting in the circular agriculture (PCA), involves experts from animal science, process technology, and physics. Project partners include Zetadec, Agrifirm, DSM, Elanco Animal Health, Phileo by Lesaffre, Pelleting Technology Netherlands, VICTAM Foundation, Feed Design Lab and Aeres Training Centre International.
