Upskill: the CQP CITG training program is back for 2026/2027!
ALQUAL is organizing a new session of the CQP Conducteur Installation Transformation des Grains (CITG) certification program for 2026/2027, and TECALIMAN is proud to contribute as a trainer. More precisely, this certifying program, registered with the RNCP under number 41360, enables any employee in the industry whether newly hired or already experienced to acquire or […]
Tecaliman featured in the 2026 Nutrition Guide
On the occasion of SPACE 2025, the Nutrition Guide has been published. We are pleased to featured in this new edition, which highlights significant actor in the animal nutrition industry. Find below the presentation of Tecaliman (page 70) The leading French technical center in animal nutrition, Tecaliman has been supporting industry players since 1981. Based […]
Moral report of the 2026 General Meeting
New president, new director, new ambitions. At its 2025 General Meeting, Tecaliman outlined the framework for a modernized technical center, more closely connected to its members and more visible within the industry. One year after taking office, Yann TRIT, President, and Séverine Brunet, Director, present an encouraging initial assessment. The momentum is there: in 2025, […]
Diagnostic or pre-diagnostic energy of an industrial site
• You want to achieve a simplified approach to gather a critical opinion on the energy situation of a production unit • You want to make a 360° assessment of available energy savings pools
Results of a durability ring test
In 2011, 73 French companies funded a durability ring test that grouped a total of 74 durability testers, making it possible to compare the results from each appliance against the results obtained by Tecaliman appliances, and against those of similar appliances surveyed in this study. The repeatabilities and discriminating power of each appliance were calculated […]
Optimisation of the energy performance of compressed air production, distribution and use systems
Following a series of 20 compressed air diagnoses and pre-diagnoses carried out in animal feed plants, it emerged that in 70% of the plants audited this system offered a potential energy saving of 30% or more.
Homogeneity of mixes – Summary of experimental dat obtained by Tecaliman
In addition to the data published in Special Report no. 41, the base data compiled by Tecaliman between 1993 and 2001 may form the basis for comparing future results. Over the course of the period up to 2001, Tecaliman conducted 364 assessments of tracer dispersion, under all conditions. These assessments were carried out as pilot […]
Method for measuring bulk density, tap density and the Hausner ratio for additives and feedstuffs
Following the purchase of a new powder compac-tion apparatus, Tecaliman decided to modify its measurement procedure for bulk and tap densi-ties, and the resulting Hausner ratio. The objective was to arrive at a procedure similar to the measu-ring technique used by Carr (1965), as applied to the Hosokawa apparatus. Abdullah and Geldart (1999) demonstrated that […]
Measuring the angle of repose (flow) found in animal feed additives
Tecaliman carried out the first angle of repose measurement tests based on a technique described in standard NF T 73-008 (1978) that we refer to as the angle of repose (distribution). The results obtained using this method initially designed for powder and pellet surface agents demonstrated that the method was not suitable for use with […]
Assessment of the degree of starch transformation in animal feed
Starch is a widely used energy source in animal feed. In its native state, this raw material ingredient has a semi-crystalline granular structure. In this form, the majority of starches are easily digested by adult monogastric animals. Nevertheless, processes that destroy the crystalline structure of starch granules are necessary where starch products are incorporated into […]
