The company loads recipes into the system’s database, which then sends the recipes to control stations on the product floor.IngredientsNovus International Cibenza Phytaverse phytaze enzymeNovus International Inc.Novus International Cibenza Phytaverse phytaze enzyme is designed to increase the nutritional value of phytate, improving animal growth and well-being. According to the company, Cibenza Phytaverse has high in vivo activity under gastric conditions for sustained performance, improved activity at low substrate concentrations to maximize phytate hydrolysis and improved bioavailability due to the elimination of thermo protective coatings.Laboratory Products and ServicesRomer Labs AgraQuant F.A.S.T Allergen ELISA Test KitsRomer LabsRomer Labs AgraQuant F.A.S.T Allergen ELISA Test Kits detect almond, casein, egg, hazelnut, macadamia nut and peanut in food, rinse waters and environment swabs. The test kit uses capsules to cut extraction time to one minute.Laboratory Products and ServicesClariant Container Dri II moisture absorbing packetsClariant Container Dri II moisture absorbing packets protect grain against moisture in packaging and shipping containers. The desiccant packets help reduce mold, microtoxins and maintain grain flowability.Animal Feed ManufacturingNational Chicken Council vice president testifies on Renewable Fuel StandardNational Chicken Council Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Bill Roenigk told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Power that the Renewable Fuel Standard, at least for conventional biofuels, is broken beyond repair, and that it is imperative at this time for Congress to take a critical look at the Renewable Fuel Standard. Roenigk appeared before the subcommittee on July 24.Feed Mill ManagementSurvey finds decrease in UK cereals, oilseed harvest areaThe total cereals and oilseeds harvest area in Great Britain fell to 3.68 million acres, a 4 percent decrease from 2012, according to the 2013 Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board/Home Grown Cereals Authority Planting and Variety Survey published July 22. The survey is based on responses from 3,473 growers for May, June and July 2013.HomeUS feed grain supply estimates down on reduced harvest projectionsJuly's projected 2013-2014 U.S. feed grain supplies are slightly lower, reflecting a reduction in harvested acres for corn and sorghum, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's latest feed outlook report. U.S. feed grain production is projected at 370.2 million tons, down 2.1 million from June numbers but up 84.4 million tons from the 2012-2013 estimate.Feed AdditivesInternational Feed Industry Federation publishes global ingredient management reportThe International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) has published the "Comparison of Regulatory Management of Authorized Ingredients, Approval Processes, and Risk-Assessment Procedures for Feed Ingredients" report that covers Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, Japan, South Africa and the U.S. The study was drafted based on input by government feed regulators and feed and feed ingredients associations in the seven regions covered, and was reviewed with global feed regulators at the recent 6th International Feed Regulators Meeting in Sun City, South Africa.Animal Feed ManufacturingFDA issues compliance guide for Salmonella in animal feeds, pet foodThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released a new Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) for its field staff on actions they intend to take when finding Salmonella contamination in food for animals. Under this new guide, the FDA will be able to target its resources more effectively to protect the health of both animals and humans, according to the agency.Feed AdditivesImproved animal performance starts with proper preservation of feed byproductsHistorically, the use of chemicals (acids and their salts) in feed conservation is a tried-and-true method used to protect stored feed and byproducts from bacterial, mold and yeast contamination. This article provides research to support how the use of propionic acid and sodium benzoate preservative products can reduce the risk of feed contamination and improve profits.Formulation and Process ControlACS Valves CDC-CI Series rotary valvesACS Valveshe ACS Valves CDC-CI Series rotary valves are designed for high-volume bulk material processing and production applications where upstream and downstream equipment configurations require a drop-in-type valve profile. The barrel on the rotary valve is cast wider and taller within its housing profile than conventional valves, ensuring the dimensions of the CDC-CI Series housing profile remain consistent with industry standards.IngredientsDr. Eckel Latibon Plus ME acidifierDr. EckelThe Dr. Eckel Latibon Plus ME acidifier reduces the buffering capacity in feed and protects animals against diarrhea. The modular base is a mix of organic and inorganic acids and their salts.Previous PagePage 285 of 437Next Page
