B ulk petrochemical manufacturing is a highly competitive global industry. When margins are tight, manufacturers seek ways to optimize performance and to reduce costs while maximizing yields and revenue. Optimization options include alternative feeds, plant/process revamps and improved operations to achieve better separation and yields to lower energy consumption, to minimize product loss and t...

The cost of feed is the most important cost in pig or poultry (meat, egg, etc.) production (#6070%); the energy component represents the greatest proportion (>80%) of that cost; while protein and minerals (phosphorus mainly) supplies in feed are much less expensive but crucial for performance of animals and levels of wastes and potential pollutions in the environment. Therefore, it is important...

3.1 ImPACTS OF RISING AqUAFEED COSTS AND PRICE VOLATILITy ON THE HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITy OF FISH In most major aquafeed-based intensive aquaculture production systems there is a high reliance on nutritionally balanced complete aquafeeds. In situations where on-farm feeds are made, farmers attempt to produce a balanced feed using vitamin and mineral premixes. In all regions of the world, the inc...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract An experiment was conducted, using 960 sexed broiler chicks between 7 and 21 d of age, to measure their response to increasing contents of faba bean in the feed. The experimental design consisted of two sexes, six levels of faba bean (0 to 250 g/kg feed), two feed forms (mash and pellets) and two levels of...

Cases of infants with life-threatening nutritional deficiencies due to certain strict vegetarian or macrobiotic diets have recently been reported.'-7 It has been suggested that in some instances this should be regarded as a form of child abuse.' We have recently come across infants who have been severely ill as a result of similar nutritionally inadequate diets. During the past 12 months nine h...

In the current Iranian poultry industry, antibiotics are the most frequently used additive in feeds to increase the productivity. Regarding the negative effects on human health due to consuming chicken whose feeds contain antibiotics, finding an appropriate alternative is of a great importance. This study aims to find an appropriate and harmless feed additive to increase the quality and quantit...

Several feed ingredients have been investigated in an attempt to substitute fishmeal in the diets of fish and livestock. These include both animal protein and plant protein sources. Unfortunately attempts to use these ingredients for complete replacement of the fishmeal component in tilapia diets have not entirely been successful. A major reason is the suboptimal content of essential amino acid...

This article aims to assess the feasibility of using native legumes as alternative sources protein in compound feeds by poultry producers and pig producers. Data achieve this objective came from a direct survey conducted 2018, with twenty-three Measures descriptive statistics were used calculations. The collected information was analyzed then described statistical methods. research data databas...
