Innovative feed transforming Chile salmon sector
Lower availability of marine raw material and consumers preferences has pushed Biomar to look for resources that allow to reduce the pressure on the marine resources. Development of raw materials is important for the sustainability of the industry in the future. Biomar has an exclusive agreement to distribute AlgaPrime DHA microalgaebased feed ingredient globally. AlgaPrime DHA, developed by Bunge and TerraVia, is a sustainable source of omega-3s, which is responsible for the product's industry-low forage fish dependency ratio (FFDR) of 0.5 kilograms. FFDR is a metric used to evaluate how many kilograms of wild fish are needed to produce one kilo of farmed fish. Average FFDR per salmon in Chile is 1.3:1. Development in feed composition There are diets that include alternative raw materials, such as algae oils, which allow to replace fish oil, without salmon losing its content of omega-3. The algae oil allows to replace fishoil, also if not to 100% yet, while it is possible to produce diets with 0% of
fishmeal, which was not possible a decade ago. At present the firm was producing product lines of lower diets for salmon that have no fishmeal at all, which give it great flexibility to always changing raw material market. Discussing about other alternative ingredients, BioMar Group's Chile managing director, Eduardo Hagedorn pointed to trimmings of different types and other raw materials in the pipeline as insect meal. "Today the use of diets with higher energy levels that improve the productive cycle in the sea and the factor of converting feed into kilos of salmon meat is a challenge," he said, noting that innovation in the use of raw material has been expanded and would also drive innovation in the future. He stressed that the FFDR per salmon in Chile had dropped in some cases below 1:1; for Silverside down to the level of 0.5:1. This shows that salmon has become a net producer of marine protein and not a net consumer of protein, Hegedorn said. Antibiotics Consumption of antibiotics in 2016 decreased 31% yearon-year and it is expected to further decrease in 2017, Hagedorn observed. The industry has taken a holistic approach to reduce the antibiotic utilization, according to Hagedorn. Disease detection and fast reaction have proven to be key factors to successful treatments while farming practices, genetics and strengthening fish health status through functional nutrition are helping the industry to decrease the use of antibiotics through prevention. Different actors of the industry are investing a lot in research on this, so we expect to see further improvements in the near future, Hagedorn said.

As per the data shared by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) (Feb 2017:PIB), the dairy cooperative network in the country produces about 3.6 million tonnes per annum of cattle feed, against the installed capacity of about 5 million tonnes per annum across 70 cattle feed plants. The private sector produces an additional 4.5 million tonnes of feed, which totals up to 8 million tonnes per annum, sufficient for only about 8 million cattle out of more than 100 million breed-
able animals in the country. Thus, one can access the large gap in the quantity of feed required that is still to be scaled. Comes with the need of feed production, a regulatory framework in place to ensure the quality of the feed produced. Faced with the demand for increasing nutritive value of the feed with limited resources of land and capital, it has been discovered that unwanted chemicals and adulterants have been used in animal feeds as it helps to have high analytical grading for the feed. As per NDDB data adulterants range from substances such as groundnut husk to marble dust and poisonous argemone seeds as well making it more and more

the quality control norms. One of the foremost organizations in the world with respect to animal feed industry the American Feed Industry Association. (AFIA) has defined feed qualitycontrol programs as: “All actions directed towards ensuring the product meets the specifications established by the manufacturer”. Any good feed quality-control program contains four components: !
Ingredient quality
!
Process control
!
Finished feed quality
!
Control of toxic substances, including pathogenic micro-organisms
Quality Control in Animal Feed The objective of quality control of feedstuffs is to ensure that a consumer should obtain feeds that are unadulterated, true to their nature and produce desired results. Quality control is therefore, defined as the maintenance of quality at levels and tolerances acceptable to the buyer while minimizing the cost of processing. It has to be recognized that feed safety is not the only element that determines the safety of food of animal origin, but that the use of other products, such as drugs and growth promoters (hormones and beta-agonists), also has an impact. Although nutritional quality is important for a common policy in the industry, the main concern is feed safety as part of food safety.
The feedstuffs used for feeding livestock can be classified into three major classes depending on the contents of fiber, moisture and nutrients as: green or succulent forages or fodders; dry forages or fodders and concentrate feeds where is maximum scope for adulteration and hence maximum requirement for following

Quality Control Legislations in Indian Feed Industry: In the organized sector, animal feed business is quite competitive and feed manufacturers therefore endeavor to produce feed of the highest possible quality. Most of industries are advocating HACCP-hazard analysis critical control point measures to ensure safe feeds. Indian scientists are constantly working to upgrade the quality of Indian feed and make it completely safe for animal feeding. In India the quality control is regulated by to a statuary body Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It was established under BIS Act, 1986. Earlier, Indian standards

insightful to follow quality standards which lay down guidelines for the manufacturing to marketing of the animal feed and set up regulations making it mandatory for feed manufacturers to abide by the set standards. Adulteration in feed is directly related to public health importance as meat and milk are directly used for human consumption.
Quality has been defined as “Degree to whicha set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements”. This clearly indicates that achieving quality means fulfilling requirements. The requirements may come from customers and in some cases from regulatory authorities. Usually quality is verified by comparison with a known standard. In view of this, monitoring of quality control at different points has been classified as under:

Science of silo storage Naveen Sareen, GSI
www.thinkgrainthinkfeed.co.in
Can you please share the history of more than a decade old Indian storage & milling industry? How has the industry evolved over the years?
10
Silo's storage technology came to Indian industry more than 3 decades back, but the growth was very slow in early years. It started with soya industry which stored soy bean before crushing. Feed milling industry followed thereafter to set-up the silo storage plants for the storage of the corn. The paddy-rice and flour milling industry started adopting this technology in the last decade. However, it was the wheat storage project of 650,000 tons capacity by Food Corporation of India, commissioned in the Year 2007-08, which really revolutionized the silo based storage technology in India.
For the last one decade, this technology is seeing a double digit growth every year. It is not only the milling Industry which is converting their warehousing storage to the silo storage, but the Government sector (Central as well as State government) are also coming up with the wheat storage projects on regular intervals. However, while the current production of grains viz. wheat, paddy, maize, soy bean, barley, pulses etc. in India is more than 250 Million Tons, the present installed capacity of grain storage silos is not more that 3 Million Tons. This shows that there is a huge scope for growth of storage sector in India. What are the competitive advantages of silo storage over warehouse storage? What are the challenges that customer face in the silo storage? Please brief about its economics? There are multiple advantages of silos over warehousing, some of them are listed below: a.
Silo storage requires just 1/4th of area required for warehousing
b.
The grain wastage is minimal comparatively
c.
The quality of stored grain would be better through
Think Grain Think Feed - Volume 3 | Issue 10 | August 2017
Features that make silo storage different from conventional warehouse : a
Temperature measurement system- The temperature of the grain inside the silos can be continuously monitored through the advanced grain temperature measurement systems and any abrupt increase in the grain temperature, gives an alarm to take the timely corrective measures in terms of aeration, fumigation, rotation or chilling of grains.
b
Aeration system- The grain can be aerated on regular intervals to keep its temperature lower and hence reduce risk of infestation.
c
Fumigation system- For long term grain storage especially in tropical weather conditions like in India, the aeration may work to a certain level . However, to preserve the quality of the grain over a storage period of 3- 4 months, the grain can be fumigated.
d
Chiller- For storage of grain over long term, an alternate solution can be the use of chilling technology wherein the temperature of the stored grain can be brought down to around 12-15 deg C by using grain coolers or chillers to preserve the quality of grain. This is more relevant for the longer period of storage of grains likes corn and white rice which sometime need to be stored at a higher moisture of around 13-14 percent which may become a challenge to achieve with aeration and fumigation systems.
e
With increasing demand of silo storage technology, plants are being built and operated in different geographical weather conditions all over the country, across all the grain sectors (like wheat, paddy, maize, soya bean etc.), there is an urgent need to establish safe operating parameters.
d.
The overall cost of grain handling through silo storage is also lower
Silo storage is a science which must be learnt, if followed correctly the ROI can be much better. Some of the points which must be considered while investing in silo storage are as follows:
conveyors are also involved, which are integral part
a.
of a grain silo project.
b.
The grain to be stored in silos must be dry (having less than 12 % c. moisture), if the storage period is more than a month. However, for a storage period of less than a month, it can be stored around 1314% moisture . Grain storage at higher moisture for long term will d. not only lead to infestation of grain but also affect the quality of the galvanized wall sheets of silos.

If the storage capacity requirement is less than 10000 tons, it may be cheaper to build up a warehouse but beyond 10000 tons of grain storage, silo storage will be more economical to build-up. Conventional warehouse can be operated by support staff with lot of manpower requirement at the time of unloading & loading of grain, whereas for running a silo storage plant it requires a few

avoid water seepage from base
Could you please elaborate on the role of pre-cleaning, drying and other processes for feed grain
c). Aeration should be performed continuously after complete coverage of aeration floor sheets or at
storage? The pre-cleaning and drying play a very relevant role in silo storage, especially while designing the plants for a country like India wherein the major harvesting is being done using conventional methods and the grain harvested from the field at higher moisture have higher percentage of impurities like sand, dust, chaff, stones, etc. Processes like precleaning and drying reduce the wear and tear of milling and handling machinery, prevent grain spoilage, reduces the aeration cost which all lead to economical and better quality endproduct. Please list the maintenance tips that you would like to share with end users? As mentioned earlier, silo storage is more about understanding the science of storage. There are various factors which should be in check while operating the silos. Following are the tips for better maintenance: a). Level sensor should be in working condition

least first ring completion during filling d). Temperature of the stored grain should be checked on regular interval e). Aeration should be avoided in humid weather f).
Firstly, the grain should be unloaded by gravity from the central outlet, thereafter with outlets next to the center and so on till the grain stops coming out. Finally the remaining grain has to be discharged using sweep auger
g). Safety procedure like use of safety harness while entering the silo should be strictly followed What makes GSI stand ahead of its competition, as many national and international players are serving the market before its entrance in India? GSI has always been a preferred supplier for the silos globally, considering their manufacturing quality standard and the safety features incorporated in its silo design. The company came to India in the year 2003-04, when it build-up its first paddy silo storage project for around 60,000 tons storage capacity near Gurgaon. Since that time the company has started its operations in India, having supplied silos to the most prominent players of the milling industry like ADM, Cargill, Japfa, Godrej Agrovet, Venky's, Suguna etc. Five year back, GSI established its operations in India and build-up a strong team of professionals which believe in serving the customer with best quality.

The production of maize can be increased either by expanding acreage or by increasing the yield per hectare. But, it is very important that whatever we produce, must be used most efficiently and the losses need to be minimized. The average loss incurred during the post-harvest storage of maize is around ~7 percent. Part of this loss can definitely be arrested by adopting proper storage technology.
toxins like Aflatoxins in the grain, which is of major concern as it has potential carcinogenic effect on humans and animals. With the growing concern over food safety, Aflatoxins are now closely monitored throughout the supply chain of food and feed processing industry, which has negatively impacted the maize prices.
In the last 2 decades, the poultry industry has shown excellent growth which is now capable of producing 2.5 kg of broiler meat at 35 days of age and white egg layers producing 330 eggs in 52 weeks. In India, maize As it is well known, the molds like or other grains, which are unfit for human Aspergillus can colonize and consumption, are generally used in animal rations.

infestation that triggers spoilage process. This signifies the importance of maize drying. But unfortunately, the technology is quite expensive and its availability and accessibility to the maize growers and stockers is also very limited. Grain to retain the moisture The solution lies in deliquescent technology, the technology is used currently in all seasons. It helps the grain to retain the moisture and thus stops moisture discharge from the endosperm, thus nipping the bud of mold formation even before it could start. As it prevents migration of free water thus also saves on pest management. The technology can save ~7 percent of what would have been lost otherwise. Moreover, this is an organic as well as non-toxic material, and even available at a exponentially lesser cost than mold inhibition, aeration, fumigation and other such methods. Though in recent years, private players are much more aware about the quality preservation during storage and also its importance, but lack of the basic infrastructure is certainly a concern for grain storage. To resolve the problem, it needs to be readdressed, by decentralizing and storage of grain in a more sustainable and cost effective manner, at the farmer

Certain combinations of mycotoxins are known to have synergistic effects that aggravate the negative consequences for animals. “Subclinical symptoms often related to the main fusarium mycotoxins — DON, zearalenone and FUM — can be difficult to detect but have a greater economic impact for the industry,” Jenkins said. “Poorer feed efficiency and low growth rates are associated with the presence of low-level multiple mycotoxin contamination.” Jenkins offered some advice on mitigating the risk associated with mycotoxins. “Avoid contaminated feed when possible, and pay attention to feed storage conditions. Given the widespread occurrence of mycotoxins globally, further steps may be warranted,” he suggested.

Factory farming in Asia creating global health risks Growth of intensive units has potential to increase antibiotic resistance and could result in spread of bird flu beyond region
expanded their meat production in response to growing populations and the tastes of the rising middle class, but this expansion has come to the detriment of food safety.
The use of antibiotics in factory farms in Asia is set to more than double in just over a decade, with potentially damaging effects on antibiotic resistance around the world.
Jeremy Coller, of Coller Capital, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investors have a big appetite for the animal protein sector in Asia. But the growth is driven by a boom in factory farming that creates problems like emissions and epidemics, abuse of antibiotics and abuse of labour. Investors must improve the management of sustainability issues in the Asian meat and dairy industries if they want to avoid a nasty bout of financial food poisoning.â&#x20AC;?

Factory farming of poultry in Asia is also increasing the threat of bird flu spreading beyond the region, with more deadly strains taking hold, according to a new report from a network of financial investors.

Use of antibiotics in poultry and pig farms will increase by more than 120% in Asia by 2030, based on current trends. Half of all antibiotics globally are now consumed in China alone.
However, the report also found that deploying modern techniques could assist in reducing the impact of factory farming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for instance, by using barcodes to enable consumers to check the provenance of eggs, by reducing greenhouse gases and improving the health of livestock.

GM crops bounce back from 2015 decline More genetically modified (GM) crops were planted in 2016 than 2015, but the adoption of GM agriculture varied widely across Asia, report says.
www.thinkgrainthinkfeed.co.in
Global acceptance of genetically modified (GM) crops sprang back in 2016 after suffering a decline in 2015, according to estimates by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA).
22
According to ISAAA's Global Status of Commercialised Biotech/GM Crops: 2016, released in May, 185.10 million hectares of GM crops were planted in 2016, showing an increase from 179.70 million hectares in 2015. In 2014, the global area under GM crops was 181.50 million hectares. These numbers come from 26 countries, 19 of which are developing countries. The top five countries growing GM crops are the US (72.90 million hectares), Brazil (49.10 million hectares), Argentina (23.80 million hectares), Canada (11.60 million
hectares), and India (10.80 million hectares)—totaling 91 percent of the global area under GM. Soybean accounted for 50 percent of the global area under GM crops in 2016. It was followed by maize (33 percent), cotton (12 percent), and canola (5 percent). Other GM crops available in the market today include sugar beet, papaya, squash, aubergine and potato. The non-profit ISAAA estimates that biotech crop planting increased 110-fold in the 1996-2016 decade, with an accumulated area of 2.1 billion hectares. As the “fastest adopted crop technology in recent times”, biotechnology has helped alleviate poverty and hunger, benefiting 18 million small farmers and their families. However, according to the ISAAA media release, “the promises of biotech crops can only be unlocked if farmers are able to buy and plant these crops. “Farmers with little or no capital hesitate to adopt this tool (GM technology),” Rosalie Ellasus, GM maize farmer from the Philippines, and representative of the Asian Farmers Network, tells . In fact, adoption and acceptance of GM technology has not gone unchallenged, though in varying degrees across the Asia-Pacific region. “Some countries in South-East Asia such as Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar have the potential to adopt biotech crops but do not have

biosafety regulations,” Rhodora Aldemita, senior programme officer at ISAAA, tells. “Others like Myanmar have adopted GM crops while still drawing up regulations,” she adds. Indonesia is yet to firm up feed regulations, the Philippines is struggling with regulations that have halted biotech crop approvals, and Thailand's strict regulations only allow field testing,
Aldemita says. India has restricted GM technology to non-edible crops like cotton. Approvals for GM aubergine and GM mustard have not gone beyond field trials, with public litigation and provincial governments blocking attempts at commercialising these staples. “We have concerns regarding the biosafety of GM food crops that are similar to what we see in most of Europe,” Aruna Rodrigues, the main petitioner against the technology in India's Supreme Court, tells.

Bangladesh market for farmed fish up 25 times in three decades employs as many persons as the garment sector, another growing success story in the country.”
The latest study of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) also said among fish farmers, 75.0 per cent of them sell fish commercially.
"What really surprised me about these findings was the extent of the growth in many sectors, not just in production but also in many off-farm segments, such as rural and urban traders, input dealers and feed mills," he said.
The study said Bangladesh is experiencing a quiet revolution in its domestic fish farming sector, with significant gains among all the players in the industry.
He said the rapid growth has been spawned by increased demand, improvements in technology, communications and infrastructure; and investments by millions of farm households and small and medium enterprises.
The Washington-based global think tank, IFPRI, notes, "The fish value chain in Bangladesh is growing and transforming very rapidly, in all segments. The quiet revolution in the fish value chain is a domestic market revolution: 94% of aquaculture production is destined for domestic consumption."
The researcher said that the government played an important role in infrastructure investment such as investment in fish seed production, electricity and roads.
The government has targeted to make the country self-reliant in fish production by 2019, with producing 4.2 million tonnes of fishes from current level of nearly 3.8 million tonnes. With an annual production of nearly 20 lakh tonnes of cultured fish, Bangladesh is the world's fifth largest producer of inland aquaculture after China, Indonesia, India and Vietnam, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) stated in its report titled “State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2016”.
“There has been a proliferation of feed mills, hatcheries, farmers and traders, with rapid increase of purchased seed and feed, rapid increase in the use of chemicals, increase in the use of hired labor, and rapid increase in investment in agriculture equipment," said Hernandez. Noting significant improvement in marketing of fish the study said that rural fish farmers used to sell their fish to local traders just over a decade ago, but they are now selling two-thirds of their product to large wholesalers based in towns and cities. Statistics of Bangladesh's Department of Fisheries (DoF) figures show that the country's annual fish production stands at 37 lakh tonnes, and nearly 56 percent of that comes from farmed fish, 28 percent from captured fish and the rest from marine fisheries. According to the DoF, fisheries contribute 3.69 percent of Bangladesh's GDP and over 23 percent of agricultural GDP. With an average fish intake of 53 gram per person a day, fish now account for 60 percent of protein supply for the entire population.
Ricardo Hernandez, IFPRI research coordinator and lead author of the Aquaculture saw a robust growth of 8.2 percent, much study, said “Aquaculture has become an higher compared to the average growth rate of all important driver of Bangladesh fisheries (5.4 percent) in the last one decade. economy and the industry now Source: Financial Express

“Building on several years of experience operating in Vietnam, we feel that 2017 is the year for our ambition to reach new heights: New heights in terms of delivering innovation and best product performance to our customers; and new heights in term of providing best standard of working environment for our employees,” pointed out Marc Le Poul, General Manager of Skretting South Asia. Skretting Vietnam's new plant will adhere to the same robust standards, support and ways of working that are in place at all other locations operated by
Skretting and parent company Nutreco. For his part, Alex Obach, Managing Director at Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC), informed that the firm's shrimp feed Lorica is designed to shield shrimp during challenging phases in their lifecycle, including transfer and handling. Furthermore, its unique formulation delivers invaluable support to the defence mechanisms of these animals, enabling them to better cope with stress factors. “This investment will be a vital contributor to the progress of Vietnam's aquaculture industry and meeting the dietary needs of its fast growing population. We shall continue to provide you with all the knowledge and support that you will need to take this industry forward into a new golden age,” pointed out Nutreco Executive Committee, Samson Li, Managing Manager of Nutreco Asia. Vietnam became part of the Skretting family in 2010 through the acquisition of Tomboy Aquafeed JSC, a reputable Vietnamese fish and shrimp feed company. In the seven years since the purchase, Skretting Vietnam has fully embedded the Skretting culture into all of its operations – from research and raw material procurement to products and services for aquaculture.

DuPont, Monsanto urge transparent GMO crop reviews in China Global seeds giants have called for transparent, science-based approvals processes for new crop types after China approved two more genetically modified (GMO) crops for import, but left four others on the waiting list.
www.thinkgrainthinkfeed.co.in
China recently approved Syngenta's 5307 insect-resistant corn sold under the Agrisure Duracade brand and Monsanto's 87427 glyphosate-resistant corn, sold under the Roundup Ready brand, for a period of three years.
26
The move was the second in the past month to expand access to biotech seeds as part of Beijing's 100-day trade talks with Washington, and took total approvals to four after Dow Chemical Co's Enlist corn and Monsanto's Vistive Gold soybeans were given the goahead last month. But it leaves four other products owned by Monsanto, DuPont and Dow on a waiting list pending approval. The other three crops are Dow's Enlist soybeans and two alfalfa products developed by Monsanto. The U.S. industry has repeatedly complained about the lack of transparency in China's biotech review process.
Beijing has in the past held back approvals of imported GMO products amid concerns about anti-GMO sentiment in the country. Monsanto acknowledged the progress made with the latest approvals in its statement but stressed the need for a "predictable, science-based and transparent regulatory approval process in China" to allow new products to reach growers. Hopes that all six would get the go-ahead in the second round mounted after the National Biosafety Committee (NBC), a group of experts who advise the government on GMO safety, met late last month to review the products, company executives and experts said. The approvals come after China promised to speed up a review of pending import applications as part of the 100-day trade talks with the United States. China is the top export market for U.S. agricultural products. While the country does not permit planting of GMO food crops, it does allow GMO imports such as soybeans and corn for use in its animal feed industry. Getting new varieties approved for import takes years, forcing leading agrichemical players to restrict sales during China's review process. Earlier this year, DuPont Pioneer began a limited commercial introduction of its next-generation Qrome corn products under stewardship in the western United States, allowing it to make the new technology available to some growers ahead of Chinese approval.
