To capitalize on an expanding Russian livestock market, Kemin has set up a local subsidiary with the aim of building a feed facility about 500km from Moscow.
Hydrolysed wheat gluten (HWG) inclusion in a low-fishmeal diet positively effects feed efficiency in Asian seabass, find a team of scientists based in France and the UK.
Three quarters of EU-wide consumers polled would be “comfortable” eating livestock fed on insect protein, says the organization behind the survey - the €3m EU funds backed insect to feed research initiative, PROteINSECT.
Updated nutrient profiles and feed usage options are among the revamped sections of a new canola meal guide, say members of the Canola Council of Canada.
Special Edition: R&D trends in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and yeast cultures
A group of researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the US is seeking to determine the amount of amino acids cattle absorb from different feeds.
Diets with low protein or high fiber levels fail to improve growth or weight gain in growing-finishing pigs and may require more amino acid (AA) work, say researchers from the University of Lleida-Agrotecnio Center in Spain.
A multi-carbohydrase enzyme additive boosts the nutritional elements of the oilseed, camelina, when used in chicken feed by increasing energy and offering digestible amino acids, say a group of Canadian researchers.
Fishmeal has moved from being a commodity to a high priced strategic ingredient in feed where other protein sources cannot be used, says Rabobank and the IFFO agrees.
Firms behind insect derived protein for animal feed have joined forces in a trade association to tackle existing EU legislative bottlenecks and ensure that stakeholders are fully aware of the sector’s production methods and regulatory adherence.
While microalgae and insect meal represent potentially innovative protein sources, producers should look to higher amino acid supplementation to lower the protein requirements in animal diets and reduce the environmental burden, says a leading researcher.
Food-grade animal feed ingredients that will help tackle inflammation, among other challenges, in farmed animals are in the pipeline at Irish start-up, Nuritas, which uses bioinformatics technology for bioactive peptide mining.
New US research indicates that the small, free-floating aquatic plant Lemnaceae, commonly known as duckweed, may be a good protein source for swine diets.
Three years from now feed manufacturers could be replacing soybeans and fishmeal with bacterial protein meal produced from natural gas which might otherwise be flared as a waste product.
Feed contamination by the mycotoxin, DON, at concentrations below the EU maximum guidance level, is a predisposing factor for the development of necrotic enteritis in broilers, found researchers.
Algae biomass-derived pellet binders that could potentially make poultry feed more efficient are one of the early-stage innovations that award-winning poultry researcher Joe Moritz is working on.
Partial replacement of animal proteins by wheat proteins in the diet of piglets and veal calves can boost the animal's growth performance while wheat gluten could also improve the environmental profile of the aquaculture sector, said Tereos Syral...
Nizo Food Research has found that lactoferrin and thymol can work together to protect foods against E.coli, a promising result that could help food formulators reduce costs without having to resort to chemicals.
Advances with membrane technology means lower price protein from fish are available to food manufacturers globally, with potential to not only replace whey proteins in some applications, but offer a base protein ingredient.
More food makers could make an extra euro or two by converting
their waste animal products into proteins under a new consulting
programme launched by Alfa Laval.
