French research facility Tecaliman addresses need for better understanding of pellet drying-cooling control and management to ensure quality, energy savings.

Realignment of the major poultry producers seeks to regain the losses of French feed producers in recent years.

French feed technology center Tecaliman created a guide to help large European feed mills comply with EU energy audits to reduce energy usage.

The French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) has created a new generation of feed unit systems for ruminants, Systali, to improve ruminant feeding and help farmers to predict animal response to feeding changes.

Using the ideal protein concept, EU formulators using free amino acids to reduce the crude protein contents of pig feed gain substantial savings.

A feed plant is full of powders — ingredients, premixes, dust, even finished feed when non pelleted. To better know the risks and to be able to aid manufacturers to manage them, French technical center Tecaliman performed studies with specialists of dust explosion at the CNRS lab in Nancy, France.

Containing more than 30 percent protein, rapeseed meal (or canola meal) is increasingly being used in feed for ruminants, pigs and poultry. Its high protein content makes it an attractive substitute for soybean meal. The secret to its recent success in the French feed industry is that the nutritional value of the byproduct is linked to changes in the crop and its processing.
