IFF Courses and Events 2010

IFF-Workshop "Innovative hygienic concepts"                                            

A perfect hygienic state is a basic requirement for the provision of marketable compound feed. This can be achieved by a combination of organisational and technological measures, including the use of appropriate effective additives. The growing pressure on livestock farms (such as the zoonosis regulation) also forces manufacturers of compound feed more than ever to provide reliable proof for the effectiveness of the implemented hygienic measures.

Plant operators can choose from an array of new developments and enhancements of systems and products. In addition to their degree of innovation the efficiency of the measures will have to be judged. To what extent can a safe but also an economic and flexible compound feed production be established?

During the workshop, the current state of scientific knowledge and practical experience will be discussed. Also hygienic hazards and risks as well as the possibilities of their prevention and control are to be submitted for discussion. The presented topics aim to recommend economically viable strategies for the production of safe compound feed and for feeding.

IFF-Workshop "Milling"                                                        

Milling or grinding at present is one of the most discussed processing steps in animal feed manufacturing. Energy costs have almost doubled in the past five years. Together with constructional developments like new milling systems and increasing awareness of plant and product safety these subjects challenge previously well-proven milling concepts. With these developments choices for technological solutions in feed production have been enlarged.

An additional influence results from recent research findings which indicate direct coherences between structure qualities of compound feed and efficient livestock breeding.

During the workshop, new and further developments of milling and grinding equipment will be presented. Also the technological and nutritional-physiological consequences which result from different particle-size distributions will be discussed. Speakers will also elaborate on topics such as power consumption, range of application, and width and distribution of the desired and achievable feed structures.

Feed producers can use the advantages and limitations pointed out in the different milling alternatives for optimising that important process step in practice.
