Feed Extrusion

From aquaculture to zoo animals, the market for animal feed continues to grow, year by year. If you or your company is involved in these growing markets, we can help you make your operation more effective. If you are considering getting into this industry, we can help you to develop new products and processes.

Aquaculture

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing sectors of agriculture and a reliable growth market for prepared feeds. Feed represents a substantial portion of the cost of production in aquaculture. This means that companies that can provide feeds that meet the characteristics needed reliably and at competitive prices can gain market advantages.
Pets

The continuing growth in the number of companion animals has made this industry a spectacular market. Speciality pet foods carry the promise of better quality ingredients, less fecal waste, a glossy coat, improved health and "natural" ingredients. The ability of extrusion to build in needed characteristics makes it a natural in this market.

Speciality markets

The market for speciality feeds continues to grow. From the specialized needs of feeds for laboratory animals to exotic birds, reptiles and zoo animals, the demand is there. Extrusion technology can help you meet it.
Feed from By-Product Wastes

Extrusion technology allows poultry and fish processing wastes and other food industry byproducts to be converted into useful feed ingredients that can be used as protein sources in final feed formulations. Or it can be processed into complete feeds.

Put extrusion to work for you

We can show you how to use extrusion technology to process floating, sinking, slow-sinking or high-fat fish feed, speciality feeds, all kinds of pet food and recycling by-products.

We can help you to use feeding trials to evaluate your final product.

We organize and present seminars, training and short courses on aquaculture feed preparation.
