Study of the persistence of carry-over at feed plants
In 2009, a European directive (directive 2009/8/CE) laid down limits on the levels of coccidiostats present in animal feeds, corresponding to carry-over levels of 1% to 3% of maximum permissible values. In France, feed plants only perform a single carry-over (CO) test with at least 2 collector batches, and there is no guarantee that this […]
Effect of particle size on the energy efficiency of the Milling-Pelleting Pair
In bibliographical terms, Seeling and Wulff (1946), and Kumar (1973) describe 3 fundamental mechanisms of compression control: Slippage directly related to settling Elastic or plastic deformation Fragmentation This third point suggests that a product that is “too coarse” would be likely to increase the press power demand during its agglomeration. While several authors (Smith, 1962, […]
Comparing internal tracers/external tracers
A mix component referred to as a tracer is used to assess mix homogeneity or the level of carry-over at industrial sites. There are two types of tracer: • internal tracers: a formula ingredient • external tracers: an external agent supplementary to the formula The methods used to select a tracer to assess mix homogeneity […]
Assessment of carry-over, from the incorporation of additives to the loading of finished products
Within the framework of developing the methodology for assessing carry-over on industrial sites, in 1999 Tecaliman carried out two tests during the course of which carry-over was assessed using a number of additives, as far as the pellet loading station (Tecaliman, 2000a, 2000b). The aim of these two assessments, which are summarised here, was to […]
Results of plant carry-over assessment testing
The tests described in this datasheet were carried out between 1992 and 1994 as part of the risk assessment on the use of additives in animal feed. The production lines trialled in the first two tests were adapted so as to create situations involving risks of carry-over.
