Sustainability, outreach and research provide focus areas for the National Renderers Association as it looks toward product development and feed ingredients.
The US agribusiness gaint has been working with German chemical group, BASF, to develop a strain of engineered canola seed that can produce omega-3 long-chain fatty acids.
A canola plant that produces DHA and EPA oil may help support the expansion of the aquaculture market by easing ingredient restrictions, says Cargill VP.
PEDv has the potential to spread in feed or dust, but the use of a rice hull and medium chain fatty acid flush may help reduce disease presence in a feed mill, says a researcher.
In its Q2 financial results, Evonik reported good demand and improved market sentiment in its animal nutrition business towards the end of the quarter.
Adding crude glycerin, soybean oil to cattle diets may impede saturated fatty acid generation and improve the nutritional quality of meat products, say researchers.
A new type of nutrient supply model, in ball form, is said to improve feed intake and pre-weaning weight gain in piglets, as well as supporting healthy gut development.
Polish researchers found capric acid increased piglet body weight gain, as did the probiotic, Enterococcus faecium, but only in the last stage of the rearing period.
German researchers have found the inclusion of chopped, extruded or pelleted silage in organic layer diets benefits the fatty acids composition, color and cholesterol content of egg yolks.
Feed ingredient supplier, Nuscience, is eying up chicken producers in Nepal, Sri Lanka and India through a new distribution tie-up and says growth has returned to India’s poultry sector.
Broiler feed producers could exploit vacuum coating technology to enable the inclusion of a higher proportion of fat in broiler diets without compromising pellet durability, finds a literature review.
Total replacement of fish oil with camelina oil (Camelina sativa) in the diet of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) does not affect weight gain and growth rate in the fish, according to new data from Canada.
A breakthrough in the genetic optimization of algae could expand the supply of omega-3 fatty acids, according to newly published research from UC Berkeley and Aurora Algae.
