Extrusion of Micro Aquatic and Shrimp Feeds

Joseph Kearns, Aquaculture Process Technology Manager, Wenger Manufacturing, USA

Production methods are reviewed for manufacturing of micro - or what is commonly referred to as starter feeds. Extrusions cooking in various formats are discussed with the technology involved for production of these feeds but also the ability to produce at increased production rate. Typical increase levels are in the three to five times range while allowing all the formulation advantages seen in extrusion of shrimp feeds.
