In line with national tradition, the trade fair opened its doors daily from 4 p.m. and offered trade visitors and interested parties the latest developments in mechanical and plant engineering until 10 p.m. The topics "long fibre" and "fish feed" were of particular interest to customers. In the field of "long fibres", KAHL presses have a unique selling point, as depending on the raw material, ...
It almost goes without saying that AMANDUS KAHL was also represented this year with an exhibition stand. In Algeria, KAHL focuses on the pelleting of compound feed and roughage as well as extrusion for the growing fish feed industry. During the four days the 21m² booth was well ...
The Igenity Beef Profile is the leading global genetic testing product that helps producers of both purebred and crossbred beef cattle select their best animals for breeding programs. IGS delivers the most credible, objectively described, user-friendly and science-based genetic predictions to enhance the profitability of beef cattle producers who look to leverage ...
In addition to these top priorities, OFRF recommends research on agricultural biodiversity, GMO impacts and avoidance, livestock health, climate change adaptation, organic breeding of plants and animals, and social science on marketing and policy regarding organic production and transition. ...
Reducing variability by means of genetic selection has been a long-standing desire in animal breeding. For fish farmer, selection for uniformity of body weight or size could lead to increased profit by producing more fish in the size range that is favoured by the consumers. Moreover, from the point of view of animal welfare, uniformity of fish ...
