Abstract:

One of the keys to successful fish farming lies in correctly adapted feed formulas, high quality ingredients, controlled homogenous content and optimum physical feed pellet properties. To keep pace with these increasing demands, industrially produced feed is undergoing a continuous quality improvement process. The diverse types of feed are subject to different demands, the feed/foodâ??s functionality, for example, on fish farms in terms of floatability or sink ability and the pellets durability to assist mechanical handling without generating of fine. As the demand for feed increases, this influence the availability of classic raw material, this gives new challenges to ensure that the extrusion technologies and process control are developed to adapt accordingly.
