The supply of animal feed is one the main concerns producers in aquaculture industry, including aspects such as cost fish flour and its nutritional balance. aim this study was preparation a pellet-type food using powdered Spirulina sp. cultivated protein source supplemented with agro-industrial waste, evaluation to comply necessary parameters for elaboration extruded pellets. photobioreactor at...

This paper reports on the statistical analysis of the 1995 survey of 451 shrimp farms in Thailand. The aim was to identify relationships which may indicate key issues for research into sustainability. Rigorous cleaning up of the data was carried out to eliminate cases where the data could not be validated or where a respondent consistently omitted data. In the subsequent analysis, nine key outc...

Ronozyme PTM CT (RCT), a phytase, was developed for improved heat stability for pelleted feeds to avoid the need for liquid phytase application. The patented, thin lipid coating of the beadlet reduces enzyme exposure to moisture, one of the two major destabilizing factors for phytase during pelleting. Retention tests were completed in 12 randomly chosen integrated U.S. poultry commercial feedmi...

This article describes the effect of particle size distribution, pellet size and dehydration techniques on the improvement of physical properties of the pelleted feed products. It is shown that dehydration with vacuum has positive effect on durability when compared to air technique. Products volume and particle size distribution also had an effect on physical properties. INTRODUCTION In porous ...

Feeding a greater percentage of whole pellets to poultry and swine provides return on investment for producers. Pellet binders are commonly used in commercial feed mills, but the added cost has limited their use mills. Corn starch could be potential natural binder as it is biomass pellet operations. Therefore, objective these experiments was determine effect different inclusion levels corn fine...

Cage culture of Etroplus suratensis (Pearlspot) was carried out in Krishnagiri reservoir, India, a highly productive reservoir to analyze the feasibility growing this species freshwater cages and investigate effect on selected environmental parameters. Fish average weight 5.98 ± 0.52 g were stocked at 10 ind. m3 High-Density Poly-Ethylene floating (3 × 3 2 m) made nylon knotless net with 12 mm ...
