Cargill to use wind power in cutting shipping costs
By the end of this year Cargill will literarily sail the ocean again using SkySails' wind and kite-assisted sail technology on one of its 30,000 tonne cargo ships and thus reduce fuel consumption up to 35 percent.
This December, Cargill will be the first company to implement SkySails' innovative wind and kite-assisted sail technology on one of its 30,000 tonne cargo ships, with the goal of reducing the vessel's fuel consumption by up to 35 percent, and setting a new standard for greenhouse gas reduction in the shipping industry.
The kite used has a surface of 320 m2 and flies between 100 and 420 m above the ship. It is connected to the cargo ship by a rope, which is attached to a computer.

Vietnamese animal feed imports face huge losses if Indian feed rejected
Vietnamese animal feed importers face huge losses if they are forced to return almost 100,000 tonnes of maize and soybean to India because of termites. The feed arrived from India in early January and the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's Plant Protection Department has asked importers to return the goods rather than allowing it to be fumigated as usual.
The department said Vietnam was free from the invasive pest and it had told Indian suppliers to fumigate the feed before it was sent because it was such a large quantity that would have been too difficult to fumigate. Vietnam Feed Association's chairman, Le Ba Lich, said the department had previously allowed feed stock to be imported and fumigation if termites were detected.

Cheapest wheat fungicide also most effective
n an unusual, but much welcomed twist of fate, the cheapest treatment for leaf rust on wheat this spring is also one of the most effective. Tebuconazole, available under several brand names, is the least expensive treatment for both leaf rust and stripe rust in wheat, says Texas AgriLife Extension Integrated Pest Management Specialist Jim Swart, who works the northeast corner of Texas from his Commerce office.
Late March to early April is time to start spray applications to control leaf rust, he says. "Stripe rust is typically the first disease threat we have in northeast Texas, but the varieties we plant in this area are resistant to stripe rust, so we do not have a big problem with it. If a variety is susceptible to stripe rust, we don't recommend it."

Industry EVENT news
Gateway to Indian Grain Industry- GrainTech India 2011 GrainTech India 2011 is the largest international exhibition in India on grains technologies & products from 9-11 Sep.2011 at Bangalore. Last year participating countries were Germany, USA, Turkey, China, Japan, Ethiopia, Philippines, Canada, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, Thailand and India. Products & exhibitors profile of the event is the manufacturer of cleaning , grading , milling technologies, grain silos, processing & packaging machineries and importer, exporter & trader of grains, cereals, pulses, spices, oilseeds, food products etc. The event supported by Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, APEDA and leading trade associations. We are on TOUR again in 2011 - and we will come to your region with first hand information about GLOBALG.A.P and our latest tools and developments. ____________________________________________________________ IFF International Course "Fundamentals and new developments in feed-compounding technology" from 20 to 24 June 2011 The feed industry has to meet manifold requirements in its function as reliable partner in the chain for the production of foods of animal origin. In view of the dynamic developments of the market, there are considerable efforts necessary for safeguarding the competitiveness which can be shaped more successful, the better the operator and manager of a feed plant can fall back on know-how. For this reason, the Research Institute of Feed Technology of IFF will carry out an international course on "Fundamentals and new developments in feed-compounding technology" in English language from 20 to 24 June 2011 at Braunschweig-Thune, Germany. On the basis of fundamentals and practical experiences, the aim of this course is the updating, extension and refreshment of required knowledge for an economic and safe compound-feed production. The concentration is directed to substantial contents. Practical courses at the pilot plant station of the research institute will be reinforced included. ____________________________________________________________ The IFF Feed Processing Conference at Victam International 2011 Organised by IFF Research Institute of Feed Technology The IFF Feed Processing Conference at Victam 2011 is meant to be a platform for innovations which were developed by science and industry. Well-known companies will present their innovations to a skilled audience. More statements on product safety as well as on nutritionally favourable compound-feed products will complete this compacted event. The conference is organised by the Research Institute of the International Research Association of Feed Technology (IFF) which since its foundation in 1961 has been engaged with topics of the compound-feed production relevant for practice. Following the presentation, the participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. The conference will be held in English language on 3 May 2011 at Cologne, Germany. Participation in the conference is free of charge. Registration is required and should be sent to iff@iff-braunschweig.de by 20 April 2011 at the latest. ____________________________________________________________ IFF Practical course - Pelleting of compound feed n the EU, approx. 70 % of the industrially produced compound feed is pelleted. Highest demands are put on quality. Conditioning, pressing and cooling require more than half of the energy necessary for the production of compound feed. An essential evaluation criterion for the pellet quality is the abrasion stability - but not every formulation leads directly to acceptable pellets. A multitude of influencing factors must be paid attention to, like e. g. physical and chemical material properties, application of increased liquid contents, conditioning, steam quality, parameters of pellet mills, cooling as well as stability of thermo-sensitive additives. The rising energy costs require the utilisation of possible savings. So it is worthy to enlarge knowledge and competence in order to handle the pelleting process even better. The course will be held in English language on 31 May and 1 June 2011 at Braunschweig-Thune, Germany |
