Dr. Juadee Pongmaneerat, Senior Expert in Fishery Product and Inspection, Thai Department of Fisheries, Bangkok, Thailand
Thailand is a leading country in aquaculture and aquatic feed development. The country boasts 64 feedmills and premix plants for aquafeed, of which 10 are GMP standard and six HACCP certified. The Department of Fisheries (DoF) has developed policies for food safety standards and promotes the CoC and GAP for aquaculture farms, and GMP and HACCP standards for feed manufacturing, over and above basic feed safety and quality control regulations.
In 2009 some 1.25 million tonnes of aquafeeds were consumed: 672,000 tonnes shrimp feed and 581,800 tonnes fish feed.
The status of economic aquatic species such as marine shrimp, giant fresh water prawn and tilapia will be presented. The DoF regulatory framework for quality control, the inspection and certification system for feed manufacturing and fishery products processing plants will also be discussed.

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.
