In the post-Covid-19 pandemic, Gelondoro fish cultivator group, Jabon Sidoarjo District, had difficulties meeting feed pellets' needs. This difficulty is caused by increase in price of pellets; both groups cultivators have very little knowledge making pellets. The purpose this community service activity to empower farmer group produce pellets independently meet their needs without depending on ...

BACKGROUND Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly transmissible coronavirus that causes a severe enteric disease that is particularly deadly for neonatal piglets. Since its introduction to the United States in 2013, PEDV has spread quickly across the country and has caused significant financial losses to pork producers. With no fully licensed vaccines currently available in the Unit...

Feed waste results in increased production costs to the cage fish farming industry and produces negative environmental impacts. A computerized system, consisting of digital scanning sonar and current meter, was developed for monitoring, assessment, and optimization of the fish feeding process. The system can detect and monitor quantity and direction of wasted food pellets and also predict the t...

in the present study, fungal contaminations of trout feed were examined with special attention of potentially mycotoxigenic fungi. the feed samples were obtained from a factory and 6 farms. sampling was done on final pellets and their ingredients including wheat, wheat flour, soya, fish powder, gluten and starch in the factory and in the farm according to the instruction of institute of standar...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cereal type and feed processing on the prevalence of gastric lesions in pars oesophagea, stomach size, stomach content and firmness and performance in growing pigs. Data from 320 pigs were included in a 2 3 2 3 2 factorial experiment. The factors investigated were cereal type (barley or wheat), disintegration method (grinding or rollin...

Livestock addiction to locoweed is commonly cited as a clinical sign of locoweed poisoning. However, there have been no physiological or pathological explanations for the reported addiction. Four hypotheses were tested to evaluate locoweed's (Astragalus lentiginosus) addictive nature: 1) animals become psychologically addicted to locoweed; 2) animals have an innate preference for locoweed; 3) a...

at a commercial feed mill and were of similar nutritional composition. Feed form variations were made my grinding a portion of the pellets produced for each diet phase. The HQP diets averaged 78.6% intact pellets and the GP diets averaged a 1,108 micron particle size. On D42, YP1 improved ending weight (EW; P=0.022) and feed conversion ratio (FCR; P=0.022). However, no YP Carryover effect was d...

The composite agglomeration process is one of the most potential methods to effectively produce blast furnace burden with vanadium-titanium magnetite. In this work, effects V–Ti magnetite particle size, coke breeze ratio green pellets, pelletized feed, and feed basicity on quality CAP products were studied. results shown that drop strength compressive pellets are improved when pretreated by hig...

Pelleting costs money, and better pellets cost a little more. Payback comes in the form of convenience in handling the feed and more efficient use of the feed by the animal. Improved efficiency is due in part to heat processing which reduces pathogens and makes starches more digestible. A significant portion of the improvement is related to the physical form of the pellet. Durable pellets reduc...
