FEED BIOFORTIFICATION Hidden Hunger
Handling, storage, blending for animal feed
The threat of famine has made headlines in recent months, and these crises understandably focus the world’s attention on the need for a strong humanitarian response.
This article will describe what is necessary to set up a blending plant and how this plant can handle the fertiliser and animal feed based on storage of the products on the floor in boxes.

FLOUR Understanding flour
Within the flour industry there are many companies that really take the steps necessary to put the craft at the forefront of flour and food production.
POST HARVEST Reduce post-harvest losses with safe and effective grain bin storage solutions
Excessive moisture, high temperature, and poor grain condition (insects or damaged kernels) are generally considered the most important factors that lead to problems with stored grain. Reducing poverty and increasing food security cannot be attained if farmers are unable to safely and efficiently store grains and sell surplus production at attractive prices. These issues can easily be addressed by proper grain storage and management.

Quality Control during shipping
Niku Moussavi Biuki from Dr Eckel, the specialist feed additive company, insightfully explains the importance of assessing and evaluating the critical points in shipments to Southeast Asia. He outlays the studies performed by Dr Eckel in analysing climate conditions during oversea shipments, in the incredibly important process of transporting feed additives amongst other powdered goods.
Sake rice (preferred rice for brewing sake) has external characteristics such as larger grain than regular short grain rice, larger Shinpaku (opaque area) at its belly, and a shallower surface groove.

POULTRY TRIAL Improving quality whilst reducing antibiotic growth promoters
Current demand for improvements in production performance (feed conversion rate, average daily gain, speed of growth, etc.) in animal production implies very high needs for metabolisable energy. These needs can only be met with the contribution of fat in the diet.
