Victam feed and grain conferences: Early Bird discount registration closing soon
Less than three weeks left to enjoy lowest rate registration for FIAAP, GRAPAS and Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2010 Conferences
HONOLULU, HI — October 12, 2009 — If you are planning to attend one or more of the feed and grain industry conferences to be held during Victam Asia 2010 in Bangkok, the organizers urge you to register before the end of the month. Early bird registration discounts for FIAAP, GRAPAS and Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2010 Conferences are set to end in less than three weeks.
“Delegates can save a substantial amount by registering early,” organizer Suzi Dominy said.
All three conferences will feature top-level speakers from Asia and around the world who will present the latest information on animal feed ingredient and formulation, Aquafeed formulation and processing and grain quality.
The GRAPAS, FIAAP and Aquafeed Horizons Asia Conferences will take place March 3-5, 2010, in Bangkok as part of Victam Asia 2010.

Increasing the ingredient flexibility of floating feeds
William Henry, Director of Technology and Research & Development, Extru-Tech, USA
The environment in which aquatic feeds being produced in Asia today has changed dramatically from even a few years ago. Now, more than ever, the ‘efficiency’ of production is critiqued at the same levels as ‘quality’ and ‘quantity’ of production.
This presentation will focus on the greatest input cost to most aquatic feed production process’s, and that is raw materials.
When reviewing the ‘Total Cost of Production’ for a specific type of feed, the raw material cost is typically in the range of 80 to 90%. Needless to say, a 10% savings on the raw materials will have a greater impact on production cost efficiency than most likely anywhere else in the process.
This strategy of increasing the process’ ingredient flexibility will be addressed from two primary angles. We will first discuss changes and enhancements in the core pieces of equipment in a typical extrusion process. And secondly, a review of proper/recommended process management directives will be presented.

Reassuring the value-chain as to the sustainability and purity of fishmeal and fish oil
Dr. Andrew Jackson, Technical Director, International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation, U.K.
Two of the most important issues facing the fishmeal and fish oil industry in recent years has been the question of the sustainability of the fisheries providing the raw material and the purity of the products arriving at the feed mills. The industry is therefore looking at ways of reassuring the value-chain on these two critical issues. The best way to do this is using third-party audited schemes and the alternative schemes both developed and in the process of development will be discussed.
One scheme that is being initiated to address both these issues is the new IFFO Global Responsible Supply Standard. The development of this scheme will be discussed and how it assesses both fisheries and factories to provide the reassurance required.
