Schizochytrium (Sc100 diet), the researchers noticed
significantly higher weight gain and protein efficiency
ratio (PER), and lower (improved) feed conversion ratio
(FCR) and feed intake compared to a control diet
containing fish oil (Sc0); and no significant change in
SGR and survival rate among all diets. The Sc100 diet
had the highest contents of 22:6n3 DHA, led to the
highest DHA content in fillets, and consequently led to
the highest DHA:EPA ratios in tilapia fillets.
It was therefore concluded that Schizochytrium sp. is a
high quality candidate for complete substitution of fish
oil in juvenile Nile tilapia feeds, providing an innovative
means to formulate and optimise the composition of
tilapia juvenile feed while simultaneously raising feed
efficiency of tilapia aquaculture and to further develop
environmentally and socially sustainable aquafeeds.
Results show that replacing fish oil with DHA-rich
marine Sc improves the deposition of n3 LC PUFA levels
in tilapia fillet. These results support further studies to
lowerSchizochytrium production costs and to combine
different marine microalgae to replace fish oil and
fishmeal into aquafeeds.

New animal-feed centers in Rajahmundry The district administration of
Rajahmundry has proposed 23 different
works as part of various activities to be
taken up, towards the State achieving
double-digit growth rate in the current
financial year.
The district administration is laying
special emphasis on primary sectors
like agriculture, horticulture, fisheries,
dairy and rural development to achieve
the targets set by the State
government. According to district
Collector H Arun Kumar, Rs 10 crore has
been sanctioned by the State
government for implementing these
projects.

Technologies demand for food waste conversion to animal feed
Key emerging opportunities will be in
the conversion of food waste to
products such as plastics, fruit juices,
food ingredients, and liquid fuels, finds
Frost & Sullivan
The concept of food waste
management (FMW) has gained
traction with the declaration of food
waste reduction as a target in the UN
Sustainable Development Goals in
2015. Countries across the globe are
showing greater interest in reducing as
well as managing food wastage. The
present gap between the amount of
food waste generated globally and the
number of storage and recycling
facilities in operation translates to
significant opportunities for the
development of effective FWM
technologies.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan,
Emerging Trends and Opportunities in
Food Waste Management finds that
policies favouring food waste reduction
in Europe and North America and the
setting of global targets greatly aid the
development of FWM technologies. The
most popular methods for FWM at
present are composting and anaerobic
digestion. However, they do not help
salvage unspoilt food from the food
waste. These processes can also be
energy intensive, substantially reducing
the overall environmental benefits of
FWM. “Currently, there is a demand for
technologies that can convert food
unfit for human consumption to animal
feed," said TechVision Research Analyst
Lekshmy Ravi. "Technology developers
are simultaneously working on
repackaging or repurposing food waste
to food for human consumption using
less energy-intensive solutions and
employing novel management models."
There are considerable research and
industry initiatives for the conversion of
food waste to products such as plastics,
fruit juices and food ingredients.
Additionally, innovative FWM
companies are trying to convert food
waste to valuable products such as
liquid fuels.
While technology developers are
looking to eliminate inefficiencies in
FWM, it is also necessary to form
strategic partnerships along the various
links of the food supply chain. These
synergies can help improve the
efficiency of FWM and facilitate the
exchange of technologies and
techniques.
"Eventually, companies are likely to
adopt models that enable the efficient
and cost-effective extraction of valuable
products from food waste," noted Ravi.
"Overall, key emerging opportunities
are expected to be in the extraction of
edible ingredients from food waste,
conversion of misshapen fruits to
saleable products, and conversion of
byproducts from food production.”

Problems Encountered during Feed Milling in Tropics
Dr Naveen Kumar, Delst Asia
eed processing is becoming a Fmore challenging task than ever
with coming newer raw materials
and technologies, and growing
advance research to control increasing
feed cost. Ignorance about the feed
processing in tropics is making these
challenges more intense. There is a
need of deep knowledge about the
three aspects of feed milling including
feed chemistry, feed engineering, and
nutrition.
Feed mills are facing various issues,
some of these are listed below:
Poor production efficiency i.e.
increased cost per MT pellet
Poor moistening of meal in the
conditioner
Wrong selection of conditioners
(mostly short time conditioners)
Poor steam management – poor
maintenance of broiler, steam
pipeline, PRV, steam inlets position
and design
Excessively dried ingredients,
forming dry and hard pellets which
results in reduced feed intake
Poor digestibility of feed and wet
litter problem
Moisture loss after pelleting
process causes 1-3% of moisture
shrink. (0.5% moisture shrink is
worth USD 9 at today's feed cost )
Reduce die life adding
replacement cost
Poor pellet quality which affects
growth performance
Problem of “fines”, the analysis shows that most of the fat,
minerals like Ca and P, and micro minerals like Zn are present in these fines
Lack of proper training to mill operatorsIn this sub-continent nutrient loss during feed processing is another silent issue, as the miller first wants to address various physical issues of pelleting. Some of issues include: Damage and wastage of nutrients like vitamins,
amino acids & enzymes .
Poor feeding value due to improper cooking of starch which affects digestibility and available energy value
Over compensation of nutrient and energy in the feed formulation
Poor feed processing which affects immunity and
growth performance of poultry
Increased medication cost at farm levelLoss of nutrient value in processed feedPoor steam conditioning end up in a badly hydrolyzed mash resulting in difficulties at the press. Pushing poor hydrolysed and conditioned mash through the die is like “roasting” the meal, which result in maillard reaction (amino acid reacting with reducing sugar from the friction heat) and dextrinization (burnt to a certain extent via thick die passage). These problems are more noticeable with the use of thicker die (for a high die compression rate). During the passage of poor hydrolyzed meal through the die, temperature inside the die holes reach around 160° Celsius which degrades (or destroys) many enzymes and vital nutrients in fraction of seconds. This has a detrimental impact on livestock immune, health, and productivity.Now, the major concern is increasing trend of producing broilers without using AGPs (antibiotic growth promoters), where Europe is leading the way. The continent is encouraging supplements which are comparatively expensive, new generation alternative feed additives like secondary plant compound products, probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and enzymes (claiming its wide use in Europe), as a replacements to AGPs, but are they being processed correctly? w

In Delhi, the team was taken to McDonalds for lunch,
which provided them an insight on changing food
preferences of customers, trends with the young
population in India, and price comparisons.
On the last day of the mission, Mr. Sindelar and his team
welcomed the group to the embassy, and presented
USDA's perspectives on the Indian market. He stressed
that it pays to be patient to be able to derive benefits
from the Indian market.
USSEC made two presentations to the QSSB group, one
of the presentations focused on the market assessment
recently put together for the ASC region. The second
presentation centered on ASC's program management,
mission and goals; return on investment (ROI) for
dollars invested, and how the funds are distributed
against projects/activities among other topics.

he QSSB mission to the Asia Subcontinent (ASC)
Tfrom July 29 to August 6, included formal
interactions with industry leaders from Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh and India, and field activities for a greater
understanding about the differences and similarities
among the markets in these three countries.
Opportunities & Potential in Sri Lanka Market
In its first activity in Sri Lanka, the QSSB team met Sri
Lankan industry players and also visited a feed mill,
layer farms, broiler farms, and chicken outlets. The team
inspected stocks of U.S soy meal at the feed mill and
discussed how trade and tech aspects could be better
addressed in future. About 55 participants attended
“Lanka – U.S. Soy Alliance,” a trade networking meeting
where two leading industry members discussed the Sri
Lankan industry's progress and growth.
USSEC CEO Jim Sutter emphasized and assured USSEC's
and the U.S. Soy industry's support to the Sri Lankan
industry. He compared Sri Lanka's market to India's and
said that Iowa is 2.2 times the size of Sri Lanka. He said
that the U.S. currently has a significant market share in
Sri Lanka which is expected to grow.
Industry representatives shared that per capita
consumption of chicken in Sri Lanka touched close to 10
kg. By contrasting many small “mom and pop” grocery
stores, the delegation had the opportunity to compare
modern retailing and customer preferences to various
food and grocery products. 95 percent of the country's
poultry industry relies on processed, chilled and/or
frozen chicken.
Bangladesh: Price is still a concern

The change that is about 4.0 times higher is indicative of
increasing demand and rapidly developing industries that
need more soy meal as a consistent protein source in the
ASC. The forecast for soy meal utilization in the ASC is 8.69
MMT by 2015/16 as per USDA. To produce this meal about
10.66 MMT of soybeans are required.
The consumption front in the region has been driving a
significant demand for soy meal in between 2010 and 2015.
India's neighboring countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka and Nepal) show the highest change in their meal
consumption pattern during the same corresponding
period with a + 101.18 %. India's internal consumption also
shows a positive change of +39.69%. These two positive
changes put ASC on a consumption spot light and thus are
attracting attention from other countries.
Since the past five years, there has been a steady growth of
U.S soy imports into Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and more
recently (from 2015) into Pakistan and Nepal. A total of
394,000 MT of U.S soy meal valued at $ 213 million has
been imported in the last three years. On the same lines
1.13 million tons of U.S soybeans have been imported into
India's neighboring countries in the past three years.
Import trends for U.S soy continue into Bangladesh,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal even in the current oil year
(October 2015-September 2016). With three more months
to go, the ASC region has already imported 799,268 MT of
U.S soybeans and 253,247 MT of U.S soy meal into the
region.
Interestingly Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal which were
initially meal markets have now turned into soybean
markets while Sri Lanka is a steady meal market. Countries
that are rapidly taking to soybean crushing perhaps realize
that demand for protein and energy (oil) is the need of
the hour to support nutritional security for their
population. For the first time, India also imported corn
and soy meal in 2015/16 as Indian meal was out priced as
compared to international prices. Indian demand for soy
meal is bound to grow as the poultry, aquaculture and
human consumption sectors grow.
Mr. Shabbir Ahmad Khan, another
expert from Indian Poultry
industry shared about historical
relations between Indian industry
and US Agriculture industry
which started way back in 1967,
when two grandparent stocks
were imported from US and
Canada.
In 1980's USSEC started to
conduct various seminars to
teach the industry about the
usage of soy meal in poultry feed which started at 10%
inclusion and soon reached 25-35%.
Since starting its office in 1996, USSEC invested lots of
funds to educate the industry about the usage and
benefits of SBM in Poultry, dairy, fish and food sector. As
they believe that Indian industry is a mighty one and will
surely recognize the benefits.
Looking at the present scenario of industry, GOI may
consider to import SBM to address raw
material security, sustained supply and
price corrections and thus saving the
livestock industry of the country.
A huge credit of the success story of
Indian Poultry sector goes to these
international experts who invested their
time and money. I really hope that both
the countries will mutually benefit from
each other in near future.
PERSPECTIVE OF SOME MEMBERS OF QSSB ON ASIAN SUBCONTINENT MARKET
“With each of these trade visits, I am amazed at the breadth and depth of the technical services.
They are building relationships by helping people with their businesses, not just moving
soybeans. Helping companies build loyalty for U.S. soybeans.”
Kathy Maurer, Financial and International Marketing Director, Michigan Soybean
Promotion Committee
“I'm very excited to see that the marketing efforts that USSEC initiated long ago is working
exactly how it was planned. It's not possible to really have an idea of what is going on in India
without seeing it firsthand.”
Park Wells, Executive Director, Tennessee Soybean Promotion Council
“The [Indian] government could really affect change for its people if they would remove barriers
such inadequate roads and if they would take advantage of farming technologies that are
available.”
Ken Moore, Grower, Tennessee
“Sri Lanka presents such immediate potential. They want their farmers to be progressive and
they want to import U.S. Soy. They have a much more sophisticated marketing and processing
system than India does. In Bangladesh, based on the comments that we heard, they recognize
the quality of U.S. Soy but still make purchasing decisions wholly on price.”
Tony Stafford, Director of Business Development and New Markets, Missouri Soybean
Merchandising Council
“The meetings at the U.S. Embassy really gave me a great understanding of all of the forces that
work together to move my soy. When Jonn (Slette), the senior attaché, emphasized the value of
our visits to the market, it really drove home how important these interpersonal relationships
are.”
Mike Bellar, Grower, Kansas
“Feeding the world is so far from just how we can increase yield. There are so many market
access issues that need to be addressed in order to get our commodity to the people that need
protein.”

Since starting its office in 1996, USSEC invested lots of
funds to educate the industry about the usage and
benefits of SBM in Poultry, dairy, fish and food sector. As
they believe that Indian industry is a mighty one and will
surely recognize the benefits.
Looking at the present scenario of industry, GOI may
consider to import SBM to address raw
material security, sustained supply and
price corrections and thus saving the
livestock industry of the country.
A huge credit of the success story of
Indian Poultry sector goes to these
international experts who invested their
time and money. I really hope that both
the countries will mutually benefit from
each other in near future.
PERSPECTIVE OF SOME MEMBERS OF QSSB ON ASIAN SUBCONTINENT MARKET
“With each of these trade visits, I am amazed at the breadth and depth of the technical services.
They are building relationships by helping people with their businesses, not just moving
soybeans. Helping companies build loyalty for U.S. soybeans.”
Kathy Maurer, Financial and International Marketing Director, Michigan Soybean
Promotion Committee
“I'm very excited to see that the marketing efforts that USSEC initiated long ago is working
exactly how it was planned. It's not possible to really have an idea of what is going on in India
without seeing it firsthand.”
Park Wells, Executive Director, Tennessee Soybean Promotion Council
“The [Indian] government could really affect change for its people if they would remove barriers
such inadequate roads and if they would take advantage of farming technologies that are
available.”
Ken Moore, Grower, Tennessee
“Sri Lanka presents such immediate potential. They want their farmers to be progressive and
they want to import U.S. Soy. They have a much more sophisticated marketing and processing
system than India does. In Bangladesh, based on the comments that we heard, they recognize
the quality of U.S. Soy but still make purchasing decisions wholly on price.”
Tony Stafford, Director of Business Development and New Markets, Missouri Soybean
Merchandising Council
“The meetings at the U.S. Embassy really gave me a great understanding of all of the forces that
work together to move my soy. When Jonn (Slette), the senior attaché, emphasized the value of
our visits to the market, it really drove home how important these interpersonal relationships
are.”
Mike Bellar, Grower, Kansas
“Feeding the world is so far from just how we can increase yield. There are so many market
access issues that need to be addressed in order to get our commodity to the people that need
protein.”
