The EU cereals sector will maintain and expand our

performance both domestically and abroad
The EU is a global
leader in cereals, both
in domestic production
and in export
performance. This is all
the more remarkable
taking into account
the evolution of the
Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) support
to the cereals sector over the last few years.
The CAP is now market-oriented and farmsupport has moved to decoupled direct income
support instead of the product related market
price support. Since 2005 EU farmers, including
EU cereal farmers, receive CAP direct payments
which are decoupled from production.
One of the traditional market support tool, the
public intervention price, is in principle still in
place. The EU reference price for cereals is
now set at roughly 101 per tonne. If triggered,
farmers can sell cereals with the required EU
quality standards to national authorities at the
reference price of 101 per tonne. In practice,
however, the public intervention price is well
below the market price and since 2012 we have
had no cereal stocks in public intervention.
At the same time the EU cereals sector has seen
record production levels over the last few years.
In 2016/17, the total EU cereals production is
expected to exceed the ceiling of 300 million
tonnes for the fourth marketing year in a row.
The main driver for this trend has been soft
wheat with EU wheat production reaching
around 150 million tonnes, that is around 50
percent of total EU cereals production. Wheat
production has now hit record levels four years
in a row in France, the main producer Member
State. With regard to quality, results have also
been favourable, namely in Germany where
the level of protein content is traditionally the
highest. EU wheat production represents roughly
20 percent of global wheat production and
makes the EU by far the first producer of wheat

in the world (Russia and US production follow
at around 55-60 million tonnes of wheat).
Europe has almost perfect cereal-growing
conditions. Until 2025, we therefore expect a
continued expansion in area and yield for wheat,
a slightly lowered share for barley and a stable
area for maize.
On the world cereals market, ample supplies
have lead in recent years to an accumulation of
carry-over stocks, which has weighted on world
prices. Despite low commodity prices on the
global market, EU cereals remain competitive.
The EU has also been able to break export
records close to 50 million tonnes of total
cereals exports, including around 30 million
tonnes of wheat and 13 million tonnes of barley.
Furthermore, both for soft wheat and barley,
the EU was the leading exporter on the world
market in 2014/15 and 2015/16 respectively.
Good cereals harvest, both in quantity and
quality, have supported the competitiveness of
EU cereals on export markets, with no need for
any export refund to be granted - a situation only
few would have imagined 10-20 years ago.
Indeed, at the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference
in Nairobi in December 2015, WTO members,
including the EU, decided to eliminate all forms
of export subsidies and disciplines on other
potentially trade-distorting export measures.
The outlook remains positive for EU cereals and
in particular for wheat. Food, feed and export
demand for EU cereals is expected to keep
growing. However, the EU cereals sector will also
face challenges ahead. In particular, increased
environmentally-friendly production methods,
highest quality standards and precision farming
will become more and more standard practices.
The EU cereals sector will take these challenges
proactively on board and we are confident that
we will maintain and expand our performance
both domestically and abroad.

Registration opens early for

largest AFIA member event
egistration for the American Feed Industry

Associations 2017 Purchasing & Ingredient
Suppliers Conference has come early this year, with
early-bird rates running today through January 17th 2017.
PISC, coined, Where Business Gets Done! is located in
Orlando, Florida, March 7-9, of next year.
More than 550 buyers and sellers of feed and feed
ingredients attend the annual three-day event, designed for
educational and networking purposes. PISC is the event
of the year for anyone interested in the current state of the
animal food industry.
Every year, past attendees recommend PISC as the best
meeting for buyers and sellers of ingredients. PISC is a
great conference for those in the animal food industry to
attend, said Kara Cagle of Tysons. Not only do you get to
hear relevant information from the speakers, it is a perfect
opportunity to network with industry professionals, build
on existing relationships and create new ones. A new
format is underway for 2017, with the event beginning on
Tuesday and running through Thursday afternoon.
Conference favourites, golf tournament, sporting clays,
networking opportunities and receptions are still staples
on the agenda. Event speakers include Kevin Folta, Ph.D.,
University of Florida, who will speak about Failing to
Feed a Hungry World, and Teri Yanovitch, former Disney
Institute speaker, who will engage attendees on The
Magic of the Pixie Dust Customer Service, a Way of Life
for Disney.
AFIA will offer its Buyers to Orlando scholarship
program and, for the second time, the PISC committee will
host a Suppliers Product Showcase, allowing suppliers to
showcase products during meet and greet sessions.
As the northern summer draws to a close and the weather

cools, travel to conferences and expos seem to be heating
up. This month I will be visiting Vancouver, Canada to
attend the World Nutrition Forum, hosted by Biomin
followed by a journey further afield to attend Vietnams
Vietstock 2016 event in Saigon and then IAOM MEA
conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Although the World Nutrition Forum is an invitation
only gathering it offers an important meeting point for
key nutritionists and formulators in addition to feed and
food company representatives to discuss progress we are
making in providing food at a lower cost, and of a higher
standard while addressing public health and nutritional
concerns.
Milling and Grain has been very fortunate to receive
an invitation to this years event which will focus on
Driving the Protein Economy. This is a subject close
to my heart, as I believe that our domesticated animals,
provided with the right nutrition, can deliver the protein
the world will need as we draw closer to the 9.5 billion
people forecast for the planet by 2050. Im particularly
interested to hear Emeritus Profession of Food Marketing
David Hughes from Imperial College London, who will
address this key topic in his opening keynote presentation.
But western Canada is quite some distance from my
next destination the following week! Vietnam is one of
the fastest growing economies in South East Asia and
Vietstock one of the countrys most important meeting
points for all those involved in intensive livestock
production. This year Vietstock is hosting an aquaculture
conference that Perendale (publishers of International
Aquafeed magazine) is co-organising along with the
charity Aquaculture without Frontiers.
On the way back to the UK, I will have the opportunity to
stop in Ethiopia where the IAOM Middle East/Africa is
hosting its bi-annual conference and exhibition.
Milling and Grain is working with NEPAD (a New
Partnership for Africas Development - the technical body
of the African Union) to connect its work with the milling
industry. We will be hosting a reception to not only make
IAOM members attending aware first hand of the work
of this important African group (that represents 53 of the
54 African nations) is doing, but to also officially launch
our new charity Milling4Life. Cliff Spencer, chairman
of the charity and Goodwill Ambassador to NEPAD, talks
more about the aims and objectives of the charity and
the work he is doing with NEPAD in his column in this
edition.
I hope you enjoy this current edition!

Universities Federation for

Animal Welfare Award winner
Harry Appleby at Writtle University

College, Chelmsford, England
project that has the potential to make the greatest

contribution to animal welfare science has gone
to First Class Animal Science graduate, Harry
Appleby at Writtle University College, Chelmsford,
England. He was awarded the Universities Federation for
Animal Welfare award on September 9, 2016.
The research Harry Appleby carried out aimed to
provide an alternative to the slaughter of approximately 4.2
billion day-old male chicks.
He comments this current situation is possibly the
biggest ethical issue within the animal industry.
The methodology behind the research was based upon
hormone analysis and Harry told Milling and Grain
that he quantitatively evaluated the concentration of
oestrone sulphate within the allantoic fluid of developing
ISA Brown chicken embryos during the early stages of
development.
Crucial to the justification of this project, Harry said
the analysis of hormone concentrations and accurate sex
identification of female and male embryos in ovo, was
achieved prior to the development of pain perception.
The main results of the research suggested that a breed
difference in hormone concentration may exist between
domestic poultry breeds.
Conscious that the world population is expected to
reach an estimated 9.5 billion by 2050, Harry stated that
achieving sustainability and providing an ethical form of
food production should be the ultimate goal of all sectors
within the livestock industry.
Whilst he is confident that a cost effective, practical
alternative to the slaughter of day-old male chicks will
soon become standard practice he reminds us this can
only be achieved through strong cooperation between the
scientific community, UK government, and the poultry

industry.
Despite the current process of slaughtering 50 percent
of all incubated eggs is, as Harry describes, unethical,
unsustainable and uneconomical, with the results of his
research and further investment, he summarises that a
solution may well be on the horizon.
Harry has subsequently found himself a job with a top
poultry company.
It is promising to hear industry leaders of the future may
include such individuals as Harry, who has been successful
in striving towards implementing alternative approaches
within the industry.
Final share payments made following

Wessex Grain takeover
efetra Ltd confirmed recently

that final payments due to the
farmer shareholders of Wessex
Grain following the acquisition have
been processed, drawing the takeover
to a successful conclusion.
Cefetra, a leading UK agri-business,
acquired the entire share capital of
Wessex Grain through a multi-million
pound bid after receiving almost 100
percentapproval from shareholders in
November 2015. The remaining 50p
balance of the 5.75 per share was paid
in cash to the holders in August 2016.
Since the acquisition, Wessex
Grain has reported growth in its
export programme with an increased
number of grain vessels completing
their journey to European ports with
malting barley, OSR, milling oats and
feed barley.
Simon Wilcox, previously managing

director at Wessex Grain, commented,
The process of becoming part of
Cefetra has developed well and I now
feel the two businesses have fully
integrated, with significant benefits to
Wessex Grain and our farmer growers
already evident.
Our export programme has
expanded with additional vessels
being loaded out of south coast
ports increasing our total tonnage by
some 20%. Cefetra has also invested
significantly, injecting a six-figure sum
into the business to improve facilities
at the Henstridge store and office.
The Wessex Grain team are now
playing a key role in developing
Cefetras grain origination business
that is expanding nationwide. New
farm grain buyers are covering East
Anglia, the North-East and Scotland

and further recruitment is ongoing.
Cefetra provides farmer growers
access to key markets within the UK
and across Europe.
Andrew Mackay, managing
director at Cefetra, added: This deal
benefitted all parties; shareholders
by an immediate cash return, Wessex
Grain by enhancing its position as
a strong regional grain buyer and
more crucially farmers across the
region by offering them a major
independent and financially strong
business to work with to market their
grain. Shareholders will now get the
remaining balance as agreed and on
schedule.
Moving forward we plan to build
upon the success of this acquisition
to continue expanding both the farm
grain origination business across the
UK and tonnage, alongside the range
of operations for Wessex Grain and its
farming suppliers.

The 1888 Plymouth Milling

Convention Part 2
Mr Hosken and Sons Roller Mill, Hayle
Milling journals of the past at The Mills Archive

by Mildred Cookson, The Mills Archive, UK
My introduction last month
to nabims Plymouth Milling
Convention of 1888 was based
on an extended article in The
Miller of 2 July 1888, which
covered intended trips to mills
in Devon. Also on the tour
were planned visits to Cornish
mills, which will have excited
considerable interest.
These conventions and exhibitions in the late Victorian
period enabled the milling profession to keep abreast
of the latest developments in technology and milling
practice. As is still the case, such a convention in the
West Country would include significant social events in
one of Englands premier holiday regions. It was probably
no coincidence that 1888 was the year when the Great
Western Railway achieved its ambition to move into
Cornwall, having only arrived in Plymouth in 1876.
Mills on the Cornish itinerary focused on Hayle, two
of which are described below. Other mills of particular
interest were those of Messrs John Lake & Sons in Truro
(Robinson System) and Mr T Hitchins Grenance Mill in
St Austell (Childs System).
Messrs Hosken & Sons Loggans Mill in Hayle was
promised to be one of the more interesting mills to visit. It
was a substantial five storied stone building fitted with a
roller plant by J Harrison Carter of 82 Mark Lane London.
The mill had just installed a system of pneumatic sorting

which had been recently patented. The mill had a capacity
of 10 sacks/hour; the only motive power mentioned was a
horizontal compound condensing engine, disappointingly
no details were given of the waterwheel which was still
operating.
Many centuries of history
The history of the mill goes back many centuries, with
several mills, built on the site. The present building, dated
1852, had been gradually growing since 1827 when Mr
William Hosken, the head of the existing firm, took over
Loggans mill. He had inherited it from his father, the
family inheritance dating back to 1800. As with many
local mills, ironwork such as waterwheels would come
from local foundries. Bodley foundry in Exeter was such a
foundry and one of our drawings shows their design dated
1894 for an 11ft 6in diameter undershot wheel with 30
floats.
Wheat was transported from Hayles wharves to the mill
and the finished produce was conveyed to the railway
station by traction engine. Another feature of the mill was
that it was by then largely independent of millwrights and
engineers, as they had established workshops in which
they could cast, if necessary, their own brasses.
The wheat bins were all ventilated by perforated zinc
plates which let in on each side to allow fresh air to play
upon the grain, keeping it much sweeter. On each floor

Messrs John Lake and Sons Roller Mill, Truro
Mr Thomas Hitchins Roller Mill, St Austell
Messrs JH Trevithick & Sons Roller Mill, Hayle
Bodley Foundry 1894 design for an undershot waterwheel
in addition to the customary range of fire buckets, was a

Merryweather Fire Queen hand engine which all of the
staff had been carefully trained to use. The wheat cleaning
department was separated from the mill by iron doors and
was fitted out with a Barnard & Leas separator, two cockle
cylinders and a Eureka smutter along with a Victor
brush.
Carters three-high roller mills
The ground floor had the usual line of shafting and elevator
bottoms, the flour and offals were also packed on this floor.
A friction clutch and pulley was fixed on this floor so that,
if needed, the waterwheel could be disconnected from the
engine. The first floor had various roller mills for reducing
the wheat on the system of six breaks, and flouring the
semolina, middlings and dunst.
The first break used Carters four grooved chilled iron rolls
20in by 9in. The second four grooved rolls 30ins by 9ins
and the third used two rolls, 30in by 9in and 20in by 9in.
The fourth, fifth and sixth breaks were done on the four roll
type with grooved rolls 30ins by 9ins. The flouring of the
middlings and semolina were done on thirteen of Carters
three-high roller mills.
The second floor was equipped with semolina purifiers,
two centrifugals for treating the bran, a wheat grader
and two Comerford dust catchers. The third floor had
ten centrifugals, and a small gravity purifier; the fourth
floor had a hexagonal silk reel 22ft long, along with six
scalpers and four centrifugals, a sifting sieve and two more
centrifugals for redressing the flour. The fifth floor was
fitted with the elevator heads and four Carter & Zimmer
pneumatic sorters.
Messrs JH Trevithick & Sons steam flour mill was situated
close to Hayle railway station. It was fitted out with a 12
sack/hr roller plant by Henry Simon. A large part of the
present mill was built by the owner who was descended
from the great engineer, Richard Trevithick.

The mill also had a bakery attached which allowed the
testing of the flour daily and satisfied the demand of local
shops. The mill was powered by a high and low pressure
beam engine of about 180hp, with a surface condenser
and a 4ft stroke. The fly wheel was 20ft in diameter and
weighed 15 tons.
On the first floor were six Simon three-high roller mills,
grooved for breaking the wheat on the system of six
breaks, and six roller mills fitted with smooth rolls for
converting a portion of the semolina and middlings into
flour, the remainder of the smooth rolls were on the floor
above. The second floor had three Simon gravity purifiers,
a Whitmore sieve purifier, a Staniars bran duster and four
of Inces dust collectors.
The third floor, had two Simon large size double gravity
purifiers, a sieve purifier, a middlings sizer containing
three sieves in one frame, and two Whitmore and Binyon
silk reels, 22ft long and 44ins diameter. There was also a
Zigzag wheat separator, a No 3 Eureka scourer and
seven roller mills for the remainder of the 13 reductions.
The seventh reduction was done on a Seck roller mill and
the eighth to the eleventh done on four of Simons three
high roller mils, with smooth rolls 20in by 10in. The
twelfth reduction was done a Victoria porcelain roller
mill with rolls 18in by 9in, and the thirteenth reduction
done on a Daverio roller mill with smooth rolls 15in by
9in. The top floor had a long sieve semolina grader fitted
with an aspirating arrangement for the last two separations.

Water-based total
fumonisins test kit
launched
water-based total fumonisins test kit, AgraStrip

Total FUM Watex has been added to the recently
launched AgraStrip Watex product line by Romer
Labs.
AgraStrip Watex test kits are available for aflatoxins (B1,
B2, G1, G2), deoxynivalenol, zerealenone and fumonisins
(B1, B2, B3) and provide a fast, simple and eco-friendly
solution for on-site mycotoxin testing.
Tests for ochratoxin A are in the final stages of
development.
The test kits are optimised to extract mycotoxins using
distilled water in combination with an extraction buffer.
That and the fact that the same extract can actually be used
to test for multiple mycotoxins, make AgraStrip Watex
the product of choice for simple, fast and eco-friendly
mycotoxin detection, says Dr Kurt Brunner, research and
development director at Romer Labs.
Accuracy and robustness have been once again confirmed
by the recent GIPSA approval for AgraStrip ZON Watex,
the product becoming the first and so far only waterbased zerealenone test kit to successfully pass the GIPSA
performance test.
AgraStrip Watex test kits are quantitative tests. Used with
the AgraVision reader, these test kits provide objective
results and secure a consistent result documentation.
All test kits come with Whirl-Pak bags that contain
integrated filter membranes. As such, there is no longer
any need for additional extract clarification equipment like
centrifuges or filters.
The incubator that controls the ambient test temperature
and the dust- and dirt-resistant AgraVision reader make the
AgraStrip test system very robust and well suited for onsite mycotoxin testing.
Romer Labs is a leading global supplier of diagnostic
solutions for food and feed safety. The company offers
a broad range of innovative tests and services covering
mycotoxins, food pathogens, food allergens, gluten, GMO,
veterinary drug residues and other food contaminants.
It also operates four accredited, full-service laboratories
on three continents. The fundamental objective at Romer
Labs is to provide scientifically sound, high quality
products and services, true to its mission: Making the
Worlds Food Safer. Romer Labs is part of Erber Group.

Bhler opens factory for rice processing equipment in Vietnam
he Bhler Group opened

a factory in the Long An
province in Vietnam today,
addressing increased demand for
high-quality rice processing solutions
in the region.
The new factory will employ
over 200 workers and further
expands Bhlers global service and
production network, delivering highquality solutions to customers locally.
At the same time, Bhler is further
strengthening its leading position in
the global rice processing industry (in
terms of combined turnover in rice
milling and logistics).
Currently, around 30 percent of
global rice production is processed
on Bhler equipment. Vietnams

population of over 90 million people
strongly relies on rice as a staple food.
An estimated 5,000 rice processors
produce more than 45 million tonnes
of rice every year, making the country
one of the largest rice producers
worldwide.
With Bhlers new factory for
rice-processing equipment, local
rice processors will now be able to
offer their products in a quality that
meets export standards, strengthening
the position of Vietnam in the
international markets and enabling
it to face competition from Thai and
Cambodian rice producers.
Demand for state-of-the-art rice
processing solutions has never been

greater, as it enables processors to
profitably improve their rice quality
and meet export requirements, while
enhancing food safety and quality
standards for domestic consumption.
This multimillion-dollar investment
includes a complete sales and service
office, engineering and R&D units, as
well as a production workshop. The
factory can deliver entire rice milling
solutions and is expected to produce
several hundred machines to Vietnam
and neighboring countries annually.
The opening also coincides with
the official launch of the Bhler W
sorter in Vietnam. This high-precision
rice sorter reliably removes defects
and foreign material from a range of
rice varieties, enabling Vietnamese
processors to compete on a global
scale with high-quality rice.
Lng Trung Hiu, General
Manager of Bhler Vietnam, says:
Considering Vietnams position
as one of the leading global rice
producers, we think Bhlers topquality equipment will contribute to
the further economic development
of the region. The factory in Long
An will act as the engineering
centre for complete solutions for
rice, manufacturing accessories,

Phytogenic feed additive

market to double every 7 years
ealthy demand for phytogenic feed additives

(PFAs) in livestock production should cause
annual global sales to grow four-fold by 2030,
according to calculations by Biomin.
The botanicals market has grown rapidly in recent years,
having already topped US$500 million in global sales in
2015. Worldwide sales will cross the US$1 billion threshold
by 2023 and could reach US$2 billion annually by 2030.
Looking at numerous scenarios based on feed
production trends, evolving consumer demands, changes
in livestock production including antibiotic-free and
antibiotic-reduction strategies and the growing demand for
animal protein products, by 2030 we can expect the PFA

explained Michael Noonan, Global Product Manager

Phytogenics at Biomin.
Efficiency gains
Improving feed efficiency is a perennial concern for the
livestock industry, said Mr Noonan.
Feed costs represent anywhere from 50 percent to 80
percent of production costs, depending on the livestock
species and country.
Particularly in the context of competitive global animalprotein markets, efficiency matters, he added.
Market drivers
Though roughly three percent of the 1.2 billion tonnes
of feed used worldwide today include these plant-based
products, PFA inclusion in livestock feed should grow
considerably by 2030. This represents growth in global
market demand of eight to 10 percent per year on average.
Some of the largest and most sophisticated livestock
operations have been early-adopters of phytogenic feed
additives and have continued to use them in light of the
benefits that they have achieved, said Mr Noonan.
Consumer preferences have shifted considerably in
recent years, as efforts to phase out antibiotic growth
promoters (AGPs) and coccidiostats have accelerated
in countries worldwide, including Brazil, China and the
United States. Antibiotic reduction and the uptake of novel
growth promoters (NGPs) to optimise feed costs, improve
efficiency and reduce emissions should boost demand
worldwide for PFAs in the future.

ore than 110 participants attended the 10th

Advancia International Methionine Seminar,
which was held in Beijing, China on September
5, 2016 and organized by Adisseo, prior to the WPSA
Worlds Poultry Congress and VIV China.
What a greater place than China, the home of the
Great Wall to introduce the concept of new horizons for
methionine beyond its use as a building block, say the
organisers.
After 10 years of intensive scientific research, it is time
to review what has been done and what are the progresses
and the remaining questions, says Dr Pierre-Andr
Geraert, Director Innovation Marketing at Adisseo.
Our Advancia 2016 will also address the additional
benefits on immune system as well as the contribution of
sulfur amino acids on the antioxidant metabolism and its
impact on meat quality beyond its well-known ability to
create proteins he adds.
Opening the seminar Professor Mike Kidd, from
University of Arkansas, USA, reviewed the progress made
in synthetic amino acid supplementation to improve animal
protein production efficiency and how sulfur amino acids
contributed to this development.

GENIUS UNDER
THE WIG
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, portrait by B. Kraft
When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gave concerts at the

court of Emperor Leopold, or on other ceremonial occasions, he wore his best wig. In the 18th century, wigs with
curls arranged horizontally were the latest fashion. Those
who wanted to keep up with the trend dusted their hair
with powder or in Mozarts case with flour, the cheaper
alternative.
Grain was the beginning
With its collection of over 3,000 flour sacks from 130
countries around the globe, the FlourWorld Museum in
Wittenburg, near Hamburg (Germany), is unique in the
world of grain. It is an initiative and cultural project of
Mhlenchemie and a token of thanks to all millers. The
museum shows the history of flour and its significance for
mankind: FLOUR IS LIFE. Every new sack with an interesting motif is welcome in the Sackotheque and will find a
permanent home there.

The Pelletier Column

Adding value through foresight
by Christophe Pelletier
A question that I am being
regularly asked is whether I
have a crystal ball. Although
I believe that it is more of a
nice icebreaker than actually
a question. There is a bit of a
fascination in all of us about the
idea that someone may actually
be able to see into the future and
tell others what is coming their
way. If it were indeed possible, it certainly would reduce
uncertainty but it also would make life quite a bit less
exciting. Sorry to kill some of the mystique but foresight
is not about crystal balls, cards or goats insides.
Unfortunately, there is no magic in trying to identify
likely future scenarios. Actually, the percentage of
accurate predictions is rather disappointing. I heard
recently of an American survey that estimated the
accuracy level of predictions by economists currently
stands at 47 percent; one of my colleagues even joked
about this by saying if you flip a coin your predictions
will be statistically higher by three points. The stock
exchange in Amsterdam used to be famous by asking
an ape to pick the top five stocks for the year and it
repeatedly beat the analysts consensus.
Mistakes to avoid when envisioning the future
In my opinion, there are a couple of mistakes or pitfallsto avoid when trying to envision the future. Trying to
achieve an excess of accuracy is one of them, especially
by trying to give hard figures. Numbers always tend to
give a sense of precision and security, but all too often
they do not mean much if they are not backed by a strong
scenario. It is quite likely that you all have witnessed
predictions on prices falling flat when the deadline
arrived.
Sometimes, the surprise is a good one, sometimes it is
not, but the fact is that the prediction was inaccurate.
Generally, the cause for this is a scenario built on too
many variables for which there is little, if any, control.
Assumptions become more prevalent than facts. Another
mistake is to carry out a survey on todays situation
without projecting it in the future.
When the plan based on such a survey is implemented,
the environment has evolved and the conclusions of the
survey are no longer valid. It may sound obvious, but
I am always surprised to see how often a research ends
up writing the present in the future tense and call it the
future, always causing painful disappointment later on.
There is nothing wrong about the present, though. It is
only a point on a longer evolution. At least as important
as the present, the past is a mine of information and

wisdom that adds a lot of value in the development of
futures scenarios. Todays trends are always easy eye
catchers, but many of them fill more a function of being
trees for the forest.
I always prefer looking for deep currents that slowly
provide energy and dynamics to the long-term evolution
without being disrupted much by superficial and shortterm distractions. I have found that they have more
impact for future events.
Spotting them requires work like everything else, of
course, but it requires more than that. For the foresight
exercise, instinct and intuition are major assets. Call it
having a nose for it, gut feeling or a sixth sense, they are
gifts that help tremendously to achieve a high level of
successful prediction if you have them in-house.
Discovering the value of a collaborative chain
approach
Next to the inner characteristics, there is plenty of
external value as well. A collaborative chain approach
is a must to connect the dots. In a previous column, I
mentioned how important it is to be curious and know
what is already available out there. When developing
future scenarios, widening the scope beyond your
organisation will do wonders. Be assured that most
of your partners, be it business or other form of
stakeholders, are also trying to figure out the future.
Unfortunately, too often, the links in the chain -or the
stitches in the web- work independently at this exercise.
How much added value there is in joining forces to have
the big picture scenarios would surprise most of us.
Asking How can I help you for the future? to existing
and prospective customers is quite effective. It creates a
bond and a common goal. It also paves the way for higher
added value for the future. Similarly, telling suppliers
quite clearly about your future needs already starts
putting the wheels in motion for receiving better products
and services.
Confronting scenarios with stakeholders who may have
different objectives is a useful reality check about the
larger landscape. To add more value for the future, the
scenarios must of course identify what both the qualitative
and quantitative characteristics of value are exactly, and
how they rank for all of the stakeholders involved.

that detoxifies fumonisins represents the most recent
example of such strategies.
The future of mycotoxin risk management Mycofix now
addresses a much broader range of mycotoxins than ever,
making it an important tool for livestock and aquaculture
producers throughout the world. Biotransformation will
continue to play a key role in protecting animals. Three
decades of research and academic cooperation tells us
that biotransformation is clearly the future of mycotoxin
risk management. Its targeted, irreversible and has a clear
mode of action, outlined Ms Hofstetter.
Also, it doesnt take up much room in feed formulation.
Unlike other methods, it directly addresses the root cause of

The importance of good training and workforce retention

by Chris Jackson, Export Manager UK TAG
My travels continue,
which gives me a
unique insight into
farming and all of
its allied industries
around the world
ranging from
tropical to the most
temperate of climatic
conditions.
The scale of farming ranging from some
of the biggest integrators of the world who
rely on the latest technologies for precision
farming along with large and complex
machinery often computer driven through to
medium scale business usually family owned
and run, down to small scale subsistence
farmers who have no other source of
livelihood and who are completely reliant
on weather and disease problems often
compounded by adverse political decisions
which can be made in countries far from their
own shores. Whatever the size and scale of
enterprise, be it crop or livestock production
they all have their own particular challenges
to overcome.
Training is one of the most crucial aspects
of running any business
Without exception, training is one of
the most crucial aspects of running any
business successfully, and having trained
operatives, businesses then need to
motivate and retain their workers. Good
training is both time consuming and
adds considerable costs to production as
technologies advance, then training has to
be on-going and effective.
Let us consider for the moment the problem
for subsistence farmers who cannot afford
the time to be away from their business; this
especially applies to livestock units where the
demand for attention is every day of the year.
In the modern western world that I live
in, we take for granted electricity, power
and now telephones and internet. However
in poorer areas where these do not exist,
then the challenges of training are much
more severe and I would argue that it is in
these special areas that most can be gained
by demonstrating simple but different

production techniques that could substantially
improve outputs and incomes.
To succeed in these countries, the trainers
need to have a very clear understanding,
not only of the technical language, but
cultural implications as well. Perhaps, more
importantly, they also need to have first class
practical abilities.
The trainers therefore may very well not be
trained to high university levels but must
have practical skills of a different nature.
Trainees must be well motivated and
rewarded
In order to keep these people interested they
must be well motivated and rewarded and
held in high regard. Unfortunately they are so
often not well respected by society.
I believe that it is of vital importance that
trainers are trained and then placed into the
field so that they can continually transfer
knowledge; at this level the instruction must
be in the field, and as we move along the
farming scale, training can then be based
both around the classroom and the practical
situation. It has been demonstrated clearly
to me that managers need to be competent
in all the tasks so that they can ask staff to
undertake them.
Whereas they may not have the time to
perform all of the tasks daily in order to
inspire confidence in their workers. This
simple principal will also encourage staff
to perform well as they will know that their
managers know first hand whether a job is
being done well or badly.
Sensible and attainable production targets
should also be set that can be rewarded
to motivate and retain staff; the costs of
which will then be offset by an increase in
production.
This is the theme of training that I want to
take forward, as we go to more exhibitions
with Perendale our next being Agri Link in
the Philippines; where I hope that some of
our readers will visit our stand. This will then
be followed by Vietstock and Eurotier.

BALANCE IS
EVERYTHING!
Attention on child nutrition
Clifford Spencer
Welcome to Milling4Life (M4L),

the Charitable Incorporated
Organisation dedicated to the
prevention and alleviation of
poverty, financial hardship and
malnutrition through enhanced
food security from sustainable
milling.
Our first project is to introduce
the benefits of milling technology
and practice to a wider audience on the African continent
through targeted knowledge transfer.
To further this aim the M4L team will attend the IAOM
Conference at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on October 24-27,
2016.
Significant advance planning has taken place involving
the African Union agency New Partnership for Africas
Development who are providing a supporting speaker to the
conference to discuss the vital subject of food security and
the absolutely central role of milling to achieving this, as yet
unanswered, African aspiration.
Indeed the role of milling has, to the detriment of the cause,
almost been invisible in the mountain of reports published
on the problem of food security.
We are also looking to boost work on indigenous African
crops for milling as these crops represent the very best of
currently undeveloped and unexploited genetics for the
African continent.
We have had a couple of thousand years to bring wheat
to its current refined market state, but only a few decades
working on African equivalents, such as millet and
sorghum, that are more suited to the climate and daylight
length of the different climatic parts of the continent.
We will also be looking at milling crops, such as beans
for food and feed in that they provide valuable human and
animal protein whilst at the same time boosting mixed
cropping systems vital for African smallholders and farmers
generally.
The opportunities and the role of millers and milling
businesses in Africa are endless - and also just beginning.
The next decade will be a defining one in terms of milling
and storage equipment design and installation, milling
business developments and market product establishment.
Nutrition of women and children has rightly been receiving
increasing attention as of late and the establishment of the
crucial importance of the first 1000 days of a childs life
from conception, through diet and nutrition to its lifetime
health and achievements is better and better understood.
What greater tribute to the milling industry than to be an
integral part of that vital life-giving process!

Training
Feed storage, ingredient quality and material handling are all

examples of important aspects of feed manufacturing which is
why training courses are crucial to the success of the animal
production industry. To increase knowledge and expertise on
this topic, Kansas State Universitys IGP Institute teamed up
with US Soybean Export Council (USSEC) to hold the Regional
Animal Production Course (RAPCO) from September 6-9,
2016.
Kansas State Universitys IGP

Institute and USSEC host feed
manufacturing course
Participants, who had travelled from across the globe, learned
about ingredient and soybean meal quality, feed storage, feed safety
programs, pelleting, extrusion processing, and feed mill design
and material handling. Participants also learned from USSEC
representatives along with IGP faculty and Kansas State professors.
Carlos Campabadal, course coordinator and feed manufacturing
and grain quality management curriculum manager says, The
IGP-KSU partnership with USSEC continues the technical program
under RAPCO that helps Latin Americans who import US soybeans
and soybean meal to better understand and utilize its nutritional
benefits. It also helps them understand how to improve their feed
operations.
Course participants learn

how to measure mixing uniformity
In addition to presentation-style learning, participants toured the

Kansas State Universitys OH Kruse Feed Mill to gain a better
understanding of feed manufacturing and plant operations.
Course participant Elizabeth Bastidas from Colombia says, I
wanted to meet people from other countries with the same type of
product. I have enjoyed listening to other individuals strategies so
that I can incorporate them myself.
Another course participant Roger Ferrera, a plant manager
for Cargill in Honduras comments, I enjoyed the diversity of
companies that took the course and the exchange of knowledge
between them. This is all information that I can take back to my
own plant
Ferrera says he enjoyed the quality of instructors and their
presentations throughout the week because, You can tell that they
know a lot about the subject and can pin-point specific issues we
have in our own plants at home.
This is just one example of the specialized training offered by IGP
Institute. In addition to risk management, IGP faculty also lead
courses in grain marketing, flour milling and grain processing.
The training register

For a long time the International Milling Directory website has acted as the go-to platform for members of the aquaculture and milling industries
in order to stay up-to-date on tradeshow and conference events around the globe, by using it online Events Register.
International Milling is promoted on multiple social media streams including Twitter and Facebook, on all Perendale Publishers blogs
such as The Global Miller and The Aquaculturalists, as well as via its weekly newsletter.
On top of this the International Milling application for smart devices has been launched to further extend the contents
reach, allowing members of the industry to stay up-to-date while on the go.
This month we have launched our new Training Register. It will operate on the same platform as the Events Register, running
side-by-side. Our vision is to produce an easily accessible hub which will list aquaculture- and milling-related training
courses, workshops and educational opportunities from around the world, much the same as the Events Register does for
conferences and expositions.
We recognise that the only reason the Events Register has reached its current scale is due to the relationships
we have built with the industry and the willingness of organisers to supply and update their information
for us to promote. It is this that has led to International Milling Directory becoming such a reliable
reference for industry events, says Mr Roger Gilbert, publisher of the International Milling Directory.
If you, your company or organisation is organising a milling or aquaculture course we would like to hear
from you. No training course is too big or too small for any of our readers to attend.
This promotion service is currently offered free-of-charge.
Please send information on your training or course event to peterp@perendale.co.uk.

Innovative ATEX-certified grinding installation to minimise
explosion risk in fish feed manufacturing process
Employees, production equipment, and buildings are all
incredibly valuable assets. By minimising the required
maintenance and maximising the service life of expensive
grinding installations, its also possible to ensure that they are
much more cost-effective.
In order to further minimise explosion risk, Van Aarsen has
introduced an innovative feeding device with an integrated heavy
parts separator (also known as a stone catcher) for its GD
hammer mill. The GD hammer mill with feeding device from Van
Aarsen will be ATEX-certified.
Innovative feeding device with integrated heavy parts separator
When dust comes into contact with an ignition source, such
as sparks, in an oxygen rich environment, there is a risk of
explosion, and that is exactly what happens when the grinding
process for grains and organic materials is started or stopped in a
hammer mill.
Van Aarsen develops and manufactures machines for the
production of compound feeds and premixes for the animal feed
industry. It is also a leader in developing new techniques for
minimising explosion risk without compromising the efficiency.
Grinding installation
As such, Van Aarsen has now introduced an innovative feeding
device with an integrated heavy parts separator for metal objects,
stones, and other heavy objects. The heavy parts separator detects
such objects and removes them to prevent them from being
fed into the hammer mill and causing sparks. Van Aarsen has
optimised its heavy parts separator by automating the removal of
metal objects and stones and by the combination of this removal
with the screen exchange process.
By ensuring that the automated removal of heavy objects and
the exchange of the screens take place at the same time, the
downtime of the hammer mill is reduced and its capacity is
increased. In order to provide a controlled release of pressure in
case of an explosion, Van Aarsen has also fitted the bin beneath
the hammer mill with a pressure relief valve.
Maximising the life of screens and reducing maintenance and
downtime
The new feeding device has a compact design and can easily
be integrated into the GD hammer mill and the automated
screen exchanger. Besides minimising the risk of explosion,
Van Aarsens new feeding device with integrated heavy parts
separator also prevents damage to the screens. This greatly
increases the service life of the screens and significantly reduces
machine downtime and
maintenance.
The GD hammer mill from
Van Aarsen will be ATEXcertified and therefore
complies with the strict
European guidelines for the
prevention of explosions. Van
Aarsen also offers a range
of other options for further
minimising the explosion
risk associated with the
grinding process, including
temperature monitoring and
spark detection.

ENZYMATIC FLOUR
STANDARDISATION
Improving general
flour quality
by Maria Olsen, Senior Group Bakery Manager, DuPont Nutrition & Health
hanges in flour quality are and will

continue to be a problem for the
bakery industry. Large amounts of
grain are processed by the milling
industry and many resources used
to secure the flour produced have a
consistent quality.
To solve these quality problems,
millers are accustomed to adding
various functional ingredients to flour, mainly oxidants such as
ascorbic acid and enzymes such as the traditional standard alphaamylases and the technological advanced xylanases.
The goal when adding these ingredients is not only to maintain
a uniform performance but also to improve the general quality of
the flour. Due to the increased use of enzyme technology by flourmills, rapid advances are constantly being made in improving
general flour quality.
DuPont Nutrition & Health offers a wide range of enzymes to
make it easy to optimize almost any type of flour. The most used
types of enzymes are:
GRINDAMYL A Bakery Enzymes for standardizing baking
performance
POWERBake Xylanases for optimizing baking performance
a low falling number and possesses insufficient bread making

qualities.
The baking performance of flours with varying levels of
amylase activity, represented by variations in falling numbers, is
illustrated in figure 1. Clearly, the most pleasant crumb structure
and bread appearance are obtained with a falling number in 250300 corresponding to a moderate enzyme activity.
The amount GRINDAMYL A required to adjust the
falling number of flour is determined most easily by using
the curve shown in figure two which specifies the amount of
GRINDAMYL A to be used when adjusting a given falling
number to 250. It is both highly important and necessary to
consider which concentration of GRINDAMYL A to use
depending on the dosage equipment.
GRINDAMYL A is widely used by the bakery industry as an
alternative to malt flour containing cereal alpha-amylase. Two
Flour standardisation using GRINDAMYL A
As flour is a natural product, the content of alpha-amylase

varies depending on several factors such as growth and weather
conditions of the crop. Change in quality due to this can be
overcome by supplementing the flour with fungal alpha-amylase
GRINDAMYL A at the mill. This standardisation provides the
necessary basic baking properties to the flour.
The GRINDAMYL A provides the following benefits:
Flour improvement due to starch modification.
Higher gas production giving increased volume.
Improved crust colour due to Maillard browning
Improved flavor due to the Maillard reactions
In order to measure the level of alpha-amylase activity in flour,
different analytical methods are used. The falling number method
(Hagberg) is the common standard to determine the level of
endogenous enzyme activity in the flour. A high falling number
indicates low naturally occurring alpha-amylase, a low number
indicating high alpha-amylase activity. The optimum falling
number is considered to be 250-300.
A high falling number can be adjusted by the addition of
GRINDAMYL A. However, sprouted wheat results in flour with

enzyme activity expressed as falling number
Figure 2: Fungal amylase addition chart GRINDAMYL A 1000
Figure 3: Illustrates the action pattern on starch
Figure 4: Illustrating the volume improvement that can be

achieved with use of xylanase
of the main reasons for using fungal alpha-amylase are that it is

more tolerant towards overdosing compared to cereal amylase
and side activities are low.
Fungal amylase is deactivated at an earlier stage of the baking
process. This eliminates the risk of excessive dextrin formation at
high temperatures, a process that can result in bread with a sticky
and gummy crumb structure.
beta-amylase in flour, increasing the doughs content of maltose

and small dextrins with reducing end groups. Figure 3 illustrates
the action pattern on starch. Beta-amylase is present in excessive
amounts in the flour. The formation of sugars with reducing
end groups increases the level of Maillard reactions, which are
responsible for colour and, to a certain degree, flavour formation
in bread.
Effects of GRINDAMYL A
Flour optimisation with POWERBake Xylanase
Fungal alpha-amylase modifies the accessible starch, i.e. the

damaged starch in the flour, at the dough stage. This modification
increases the formation of dextrins in the dough, resulting in a
positive impact on both volume and crust colour. The dextrins
serves as nutrition for the yeast, the yeast produces more gas and,
thus, the final volume of the bread increases.
The dextrins are also more easily degraded than starch by the
Xylanase (hemicellulase) is being increasingly used by the

milling industry to optimize the baking performance of flour.
There are two reasons for enriching wheat flour with xylanase:
To upgrade flour quality
To reduce the natural variation in flour baking performance
In both cases, it is possible to obtain increased flour processing
flexibility without compromising quality.

Figure 5: Structure of arabinoxylan (hemicellulose)
POWERBake Xylanase provides additional benefits obtained

by using GRINDAMYL A and the following improvements
during the bread-making process can be seen:
Improved dough characteristics
Tolerance towards changes in flour quality and process
parameters
Improved volume
Improved bread appearance
General optimisation of dough quality with POWERBake
Xylanase has been seen to result in quality improvement
and uniformity in the final bread. See figure 4 illustrating
the volume improvement that can be achieved with use of
xylanase.
Mechanism of xylanase
POWERBake modifies the arabinoxylan, improving the

dough characteristics and forming a better gluten structure with
an improved gasretaining ability. The development of a flexible
and homogeneous gluten structure is not only due to insufficient
strong gluten. Arabinoxylan, also referred to as the non-starch
polysaccharide, plays an important role, together with protein,
in forming the cell walls, surrounding the starch granules.
Arabinoxylan makes up 60-70 percent of the endosperm cell
wall, giving wheat flour an arabinoxylan content of 2-3 percent.
A arabinoxylan structure is illustrated in figure 5.
Arabinoxylan is not only important due to its effect on
gluten development in bread-making. It also has a high waterabsorbing capacity and contributes to increased dough viscosity.
Figure 6: Water biding in dough: Use

of flour milling enzymes
Arabinoxylan can be divided into two fractions based on its water

solubility: Water Extractable Arabinoxylan (WE-AX) and Water
Un-extractable Arabinoxylan (WU-AX).
The water-binding capacity of these fractions is believed
to make a significant contribution to the functionality of
arabinoxylan. WU-AX can bind 10 times its own weight in water,
while WE-AX binds only 4-5 times its weight. The action of
xylanase dissolves WU-AX, at the same time releasing water
for improved gluten formation and alignment. The rigid cell
wall fragments (WU-AX) will then no longer disrupt the gluten
network.
The distribution of water among the constitutional parts of the
flour at the dough stage is very important to the bread making
process, both during processing and in the finished bread. As
illustrated in figure 5, starch represents 80-85 percent of flour and
absorbs 40-45 percent of the water added to the dough, protein
represents 10-14 percent and absorbs 30-35 percent of the water
whereas arabinoxylan represents only 2-3 percent and absorbs
around 25 percent of the water.
By enzymatic modification of arabinoxylan, this water serves
as reservoir for the hydration of gluten, thus improving the gluten
development and, at a later stage of the baking process, the starch
and, thus, improve the softness of the bread.

microgranulate with good free-flowing properties. The enzymes

by Dr Markus Schirmer, Head of Bakery Innovation Center, Grain Milling, Bhler AG, Switzerland
At the Bakery Innovation Center, Bhler know-how is integrated along the entire added value chain
he Bakery Innovation Center (BIC) at

the Bhler headquarters is now five
years old. As a center for vocational
training and further education for bakers
and millers, it is very popular.
To meet the changing needs of
customers and the market, the selection
of courses is being consistently adapted.
By the beginning of 2017 the BIC will
become the training center for the entire production of industrial
bakery goods.
Even though mankind has been processing flour for thousands
of years, it is still a demanding task.
Grain is a living, organic raw material, says Dr Markus
Schirmer, head of the Bakery Innovation Center from Bhler in
Uzwil, Switzerland.
Because no kernel is exactly like another, the individual flour
batches also vary from one to the other. Small bakeries can adjust
to this because the baker uses his experience to compensate for
the differences in the raw material.
But for large companies that need highly automated and
standardized solutions, this variability presents great challenges.
From grain to bread
Bhler founded the Bakery Innovation Center as a part of its

research and training complex at its headquarters in 2011 in
order to provide its customers with the tools necessary for such
complex tasks. Under the motto From Grain to Bread, Bhler
know-how is integrated along the entire added value chain in the
course topics.
Our standard courses explain the influence of grinding on the
quality of baked goods, provide an introduction into the secrets
of producing industrial bakery products and impart knowledge
about the use of sponges and sourdoughs.
Needs of the course participants
Our course participants want to learn what settings they need

to change on their machines and systems in order to obtain the
same end product with varying raw materials, says Dr Schirmer,
summarising the needs of course visitors.
But industrially-produced bread should not only always taste
the same.
Increasingly, the quality of artisanal baked goods is being
sought. The focus of the courses is therefore on teaching basic
knowledge about the interaction of recipes and technology that
F
happens before the actual baking process.
This basic knowledge is required for
understanding the complex processes of
manufacturing industrial bakery products.
Only someone who has the basic knowledge
can develop ideas for new products and processes
and respond to problems in production, says Dr
Schirmer.
Eliminating additives
The knowledge provided at BIC is not only for

bakers, but also of interest for millers.
The trend towards baking without additives puts
more weight on the grinding process, according to
Dr Schirmer, who is himself a master baker and
holds a doctorate in engineering.
What was previously controlled through
additives in the baking process must now be done
through the characteristics of the flour.
For example, the pressure of the rolls can be used to adjust the
modification of the starch. This in turn affects water absorption
of the flour which then has an influence on the freshness of the
bread.
The more moisture in the bread, the longer it stays fresh.
Sponges and sourdoughs can create additional advantages.
Such indirect dough versions contain more water, form natural
aromas and stay fresh longer. Quality fluctuations here can only
be avoided by accurate analyses, sufficient expertise or highly
automated processes, he adds.
Expansion of course offerings
BICs course offerings are constantly being expanded and cover
the manufacture of industrial baked goods to laboratory analyses

of flour and bread quality to saving on costs by optimising flour
quality.
A new intensive training course is being added for those
interested in becoming an industrial baker.
Over a period of three weeks, a condensed overview of all
topics - from milling to laboratory analyses to enzymatic
influences on bread - is presented. In addition, topics such as
planning a bakery, key figures, principles of food safety and
hygienic design, to name just a few, are included in the program.
This crash course for the Industrial Baker is aimed primarily
at young managers who wish to gain an overview of the
fundamentals of baking.

Success story
Considering how complex the subject matter of baking is, its

no wonder that BIC enjoys such popularity.
With five to 10 customers per week, we are almost always
fully booked, says Dr Schirmer.
Over 1000 people have taken part in almost 100 courses which
have been carried out in Uzwil so far.
However, knowledge transfer is not only going on in full swing
in Uzwil. The Bhler training centers in South Africa, China and
India are also well visited.
Courses are even being offered in external schools or as a
company course to be in closer proximity to customers. This
not only saves travel costs for the customer; more importantly,
Bhlers local presence means that it understands the local market
and can offer regional-specific expertise.
In Europe, the trends are more customer-driven while in Africa
or Latin America they are often regulated by the government.
Nigeria, for example, requires that cassava flour be added to
wheat bread to help the country become more independent of
imports, points out.
For such regulations, Bhler not only supplies the technology
but also helps customers to develop recipes in order to be as
productive as possible.
Expansion to include an Application Center
2017
The Bhler Bakery Innovation Center will be expanded to an

Application Center over the next few months.
Starting in 2017, courses on the complete production process
for baked goods will be held.
We will be able to offer courses covering everything that
concerns the production of industrial bakery goods in our new
Application Center from handling the raw material over the

mixer to the oven, says Dr Schirmer:
When it is completed, not only classes will be held here. BIC
will be available to Bhler customers for testing new recipes as
well.

A NEW PROTEIN
SOURCE FOR FEED
UK PRODUCTION FACILITY
TO PRODUCE NEW PROTEIN
SAMPLES BASED ON SINGLE-CELL
ORGANISMS FOR FEEDS
alysta, the company developing and

introducing a new protein source
based on single-cell organisms - a
bacterium called methylococcus and
destined for inclusion in fishfeeds, has
built a market introduction facility
in Teesside, England, with production
beginning in this last quarter of 2016.
At an opening ceremony prior to
the start of Aquaculture Europe 2016 being held in Edinburgh
in the same week in September, the company said this facility
will enable it to provide commercially-representative samples to
customers for testing from early 2017.
Additionally, Calysta will be pursuing feed trials in warm water
aquaculture species and product registration in jurisdictions
outside the European Union.
The company also announced earlier this year a partnership
with Cargill Corn Milling with an investment estimated at
US$30 million, for production of the FeedKind Aqua protein in
North America and marketing worldwide. A world scale plant is

expected to open in the United States by 2018.
Cargills involvement dramatically accelerates the introduction
of commercial production of FeedKind Aqua protein and next
generation products are in active development.
FeedKind Aqua protein can be customized to suit customer
specications.
Current modications being pursued include elevating the levels
of individual amino acids, incorporating omega-3 fatty acids and
optimizing the amino acid prole for species-specic dietary
requirements.
FeedKind Aqua protein has proven gastrointestinal benets to
salmon, including the prevention of soy-induced enteritis. The
company is also researching potential anti-viral and anti-parasite
effects conferred by this new protein product.
Using methanotrophs as a replacement protein source dates
back some 20 years when a Danish company called BioProtein
developed a stable production process for singlecell protein
production. Statoil, the Norwegian oil and gas giant bought into

the product and process and pursued its potential for inclusion in
fishfeeds before selling the technology in 2014 to Calysta, which
has been further refining it since then.
Critically, both the EU and Norway had approved the use of
Methylococcus-based organisms and the process using them in
fishfeeds during the product's early development.
However, the USA is still to complete its approval of the
product. The company is aiming to have that approval soon and
aims to build facilities in the US by 2018.
Dr Alan Shaw is Calysta President and CEO with its global
headquarters in Menio Park, California. He says, The opening
of this plant represents the end of a decade of development and
heralds a new era in the race to sustainably feed the worlds
growing population.
Bolt'n'Go Advet (Half Page)_Layout 1 30/06/2015 12:16 Page 1
By 2050 the global population is expected to rise from 7.4

billion today to 9.6 billion and require 70 percent more protein
than is currently available.
Calysta can help meet this need by supplying the aquaculture
industry with a naturally produced, sustainable and traceable feed
alternative to replace conventional ingredients based on fishmeal
and soya. Calystas proprietary technology enables retailers and
consumers to have increased confidence in the integrity of their
food.
Our first focus is the salmon farming industry and we were
very pleased to welcome representatives from a number of key
producers. FeedKind protein has been shown to improve growth
rates, nitrogen retention and gut health in Atlantic salmon.

officially opened the facility adjacent to the Centre for Process

Innovation (CPI). She was joined by Dr Shaw and Nigel Perry,
CEO of CPI.
The plant is supported by a conditional Exceptional Regional
Growth Fund (EGRF) award and represents a total potential
investment of UK30 million. When completed, the facility is
expected to provide employment for 35 to 40 people.
It was an honour to open Calystas market introduction facility
today, says Ms Turley MP.
As well as generating investment and employment in Teesside,
this facility puts the UK at the forefront of the race to address
the worlds growing protein demand with novel technologies. I
am really pleased that Calysta have chosen to base their biotech
project here and look forward to seeing the facility develop
further.
The official opening at the Wilton Centre was followed by a

conference hosted by Calysta to discuss the increasing worldwide
demand for fish protein, traceability and sustainability.
Representatives from Marine Harvest, Sainsburys and
Rabobank took part in a panel discussion at the event.
Based in Menlo Park, California and established in 2011,
Calysta brings together experts in biotechnology and product
innovation to focus on commercialising disruptive, sustainable
technologies.
In February 2016 Calysta announced US$30 million in Series
C funding including an investment from Cargill. To date, the
company has raised approximately US$50 million.
Calysta, Inc of Menlo Park in California is an innovator
in sustainable products. Calysta Nutrition develops and
commercialises fish and livestock nutritional products improving
food security worldwide.
CEO Shaw says the goal isnt to replace conventional fish feed
but to provide alternative sources of protein to supplement the
fast-growing market.
While FeedKind requires no agricultural land, fertilisers or
pesticides and little water and has a ready feedstock of easilycultured methylococcus bacteria - its one drawback is its reliance
on methane which has been partly overcome with the recent
developments of the fracking industry in the US.
The company is, however, aiming to rapidly scale production
once a US plant is in operation and estimates production the first
year at 15,000 tonnes with a target of 200,000 tonnes by 2020.

A REPLACEMENT PROTEIN AND ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT

FeedKind Aqua protein is a sustainable,
cost-competitive alternative to shmeal.
On the EU catalogue of feed materials, it
is a single cell protein approved for use in
all aquaculture species.
FeedKind Aqua protein is produced
via natural fermentation with non-GM
organisms and contains 71 percent crude
protein with an amino acid composition
superior to vegetal sources. Ten percent
crude fat content consisting primarily
of short-chain, saturated fatty acids

THE BALANCE OF POWER

Lucrative power balancing
schemes can help the milling
and grain industry unlock
long-term revenues of 90,000
per Megawatt from National
Grid or EirGrid
by Michael Phelan, CEO at National Grid and EirGrid

Aggregator, Endeco Technologies
any in the milling and grain

sector may be unaware that
there is a significant new
revenue stream available to
progressive and forwardthinking mills. It focuses
on the use of energy, and
how by turning the power
down for a relatively short
period each year in line with National Grids and EirGrids
requirements, companies can enjoy considerable and long-term
financial rewards.
High Energy Consumption
The milling and grain industry is by its very nature an intensive

user of energy. In flour mills, energy-using equipment as
such roller mills, purifiers, sifters, fans and conditioning kit is
commonplace. The equipment found in animal feed mills such
as pellet presses, steam boilers, grinders and fans is equally as
energy-intensive.
Unfortunately this level of intensive energy use across industry
represents a problem in the power sector, where only the most
oblivious will be unaware that there exists a somewhat precarious
electricity supply situation. According to a Guardian newspaper
report earlier in 2016, UK electricity demand is expected to
outstrip supply by over 40% within 10 years.
Financial opportunities for energy-intensive businesses
Many thought renewables would deliver the answer, but

in reality the inflexibility of renewable energy sources in
conjunction with the difficulty of controlling grid stability in realtime, represents a major challenge for grid operators. In simple
terms, when generation and energy demand are imbalanced, a
change of frequency in the grid system occurs, which is made
worse by the intermittent nature of wind and solar sources.
The requirement for quicker grid balancing and frequency is
why the system operators (National Grid (in the UK) and EirGrid
and SONI in Ireland) now offer a number of opportunities for
energy-intensive businesses, with very lucrative rewards for those
able to offer real-time response.
Ofgem, the industry regulator, is also on-board, recently laying
out five priority areas of focus, central to which is a pledge to
make the UK energy system more flexible. With this in mind,

Ofgem is actively encouraging businesses to engage in demandside response.
Demand-side response
Firm frequency response (FFR) and the new Dynamic FFR, as

well as the forthcoming (2017) Enhanced FFR, are schemes that
all form part of the system operators broad DSR (Demand Side
Response) suite of solutions. In essence, these schemes involve
removing sufficient load from the grid to stabilise frequency.
To help boost uptake, the National Grid and EirGrid are offering
those that participate the potential to earn extra income from
assets by adjusting power consumption in real-time. As a result,
grid operators can reduce the requirement for coal and gas-fired
reserves to be ready to supply power at short notice.
Earn up to 90,000 per megawatt
This is where the milling and grain industry can accrue

significant financial rewards. To provide an indication, in the
UK sums of up to 90,000 are currently achievable for every
megawatt (MW) of average onsite energy consumption turn
down. In Ireland, the latest scheme DS3 System Services also
offers very significant sums per megawatt.
Any mill expecting to endure weeks if not months of blackouts
to see financial savings on such levels would be wrong. In the
first instance, the requirement is for turn-down not turn-off,
and secondly, the sums stated are in return for around 10 (on
average) turn-down events per year, lasting for a maximum
of just 30 minutes each. In total, this adds up to on average around 5 hours a year.
For those thinking there must be a catch, there isnt. The grid
operators are prepared to pay such high rewards as it is obliged
to control frequency within the limits specified in the Electricity
Supply Regulations, i.e. 1% of nominal system frequency
(50.00Hz) except in abnormal or exceptional circumstances. It
must therefore ensure that sufficient generation and/or demand
is reserved in automatic readiness to manage all credible
eventualities that might produce frequency variations.
Virtual power plant
As every milling and grain facility will have its own array
of assets and requirements, comprehending and choosing the
optimum DSR scheme is vital. With this in mind, partner companies

known as aggregators provide the critical elements that enable
participating companies to make the best selection and optimise returns.
Aggregators take a central role in this new power-balancing arena. In
essence, they act as intermediaries between the Grid operators and large
energy users.They create a virtual power plant where the assets of
hundreds of companies are aggregated. This provides a grid-balancing
mechanism helps the system operators to deliver on their vision for a
more sustainable, flexible power infrastructure.
All of this combines to help National Grid (UK) and EirGrid (Ireland)
to minimise the operational costs of making the grid smart because
the aggregators deliver a technical solution to the challenge of grid
balancing.
Essential partnership
From the point of view of the end user, an aggregator such as Endeco
Technologies - is an essential partner for any feed or grain mill that
wishes to take advantage of the long-term lucrative opportunities. They
take care of the necessary hardware and software installation, as well as
the online monitoring and reaction systems, and the day-to-day running
of the system.
All of this is offered without any capex requirement, with the
aggregator instead taking a percentage of the scheme pay-out. As a point
of note, the aforementioned sum per megawatt is the amount payable
after the aggregator has taken payment.
Participating companies are in prime position to benefit from this
offer. In this first instance, energy consumption is reduced on selected
equipment after an audit of the plant, before energy strategies to reduce
cost are adapted and agreed with the plants operations team.
The chosen aggregator will connect the manufacturers principal
assets to its proprietary on-site optimisation platform, which enables the
automated control of energy consumption via wirelesssmart sensors and
actuators. One part of the aggregators job is to ensure mills are ready
and able to turn down their energy use when the grid operators require
it, and check that the response works correctly. Facilities employing an
aggregator simply relax and concentrate on day-to-day business.
Aggregate to accumulate
The answer to the question of which aggregator is best depends on

many factors. However, companies should be mindful to only work with
one that has a solid portfolio of successful existing sites under its belt.
A further vital factor is to choose an aggregator, such as Endeco
Technologies that offers a technology platform that can future-proof
against better schemes being introduced.
Response schemes are always likely to change over time and plants
participating in the scheme must be technology-ready to access more
financially attractive tariffs.
Ultimately, DSR schemes represent a no-risk route to generous
additional income for mills willing to help the UK better manage its
challenging electricity requirements.
HOW TO EARN MONEY FROM YOUR

ENERGY-USING ASSETS
IDENTIFY:
An approved National Grid or EirGrid

aggregator will assess your available assets and calculate
revenue potential:
In flourmills, assets are likely to include: roller mills, purifiers,
sifters, fans and conditioning kit.
In animal feed mills, assets may include: pellet presses, steam
boilers, grinders and fans.
DEFINE:
Your aggregator will work with you to establish

parameters for response (including generator / battery backup), define constraints and operational priorities. This ensures
that there will be no impact on your operations and processes
as a result of turn-down.
IMPLEMENTATION:
Your aggregator will install and

configure its technology platform to connect your energy
intensive assets with no capital outlay *.
RESPOND:
Once youre connected, youre ready to

respond when required, without risk or impact on your
productivity.
EARN:
You start receiving monthly payments from the Grid

Operators within one month.
*Endeco Technologies doesnt ask for any capital outlay
for the implementation of the technology platform. Other
aggregators might take a different approach.

PART 1
NEW REGULATORY STANDARDS AND PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS

From 1980-2005, an estimated 119 deaths have occurred in the US alone, as a result of combustible
dust explosions, with feed and grain as one of the leading industries experiencing explosions
by W Brad Carr, President, SonicAire, USA
his is the first of a two-part series

to help grain and feed processors
understand the new actions proposed by
NFPA 652, the latest. The second part
of the series will examine the spectrum
of dust control options available, and
evaluate the strengths and weaknesses
of each alternative.
In all situations, it is always dangerous
if you dont know what you dont know. This is especially true of
combustible dust because in this case, ignorance is not bliss. In
fact, it is deadly.
The risks from fugitive combustible dust continue to remain
high for grain processors. Fugitive dust accumulates, forming
a combustible cloud that results in explosions that destroy
facilities and/or injure or kill employees. Unfortunately, this is
not an isolated event. The latest statistics on combustible dust
explosions is chilling. Over a 25-year period in the US from
1980-2005, there have been: 281 combustible dust incidents, 718
injuries and 119 deaths. From 2008-2012 there have been another
50 accidents reported.
Whilst these dust incidents occur throughout many industries,
feed and grain is one of the leading industries experiencing
explosions.
In February of this year, an explosion at the Rockmart Feed Mill
in Atlanta, Georgia killed one person and injured five others. The
tragic irony of this incident is that the plant had been reviewed by
OSHA in 2013 after a small dust explosion, and had subsequent
annual on-site inspections.
Nevertheless, feed dust continued to accumulate between the
inspections and consequently caused the disastrous explosion. A
witness described to WSB-TV in Atlanta, that the sound was as
loud as a sonic boom or an earthquake.
Similarly, in June 2016, OSHA fined High Country Elevators
Inc. US$51,920 for several issues including combustible dust
accumulation above 1/8.
These are just two examples of unnecessary tragedy and
expense, as a result of a lack of collective knowledge or concern
for compliance or perhaps both.
Regulatory agencies have responded with issuing higher fines
and new standards. No one wants more accidents. But there
remains a gap in knowledge and I am writing to fill that gap.
NFPA releases new standards
In August 2015, the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) published a new standard on combustible dust: NFPA
652. It is designed to supply unifying standards and principles
across industries.
Currently, the draft of NFPA 652 is in review for possible edits.
Although a second revision is scheduled to be released in January
F
2018, it is wise for us to consider the changes required in the
current version since it has been issued.
Therefore, what follows are the highlights of changes dictated
by NFPA 652 issues so grain processors can take action to best
protect their businesses and employees. There are significant
changes to processes that the grain industry must be aware of and
respond to.
Scope of standard
NFPA 652 defines its scope as the following: This standard

shall provide the basic principles of and requirements for
identifying and managing the fire and explosion hazards of
combustible dust and particulate solids.
In essence, it sets the standards that are fundamental
requirements for all industries with combustible dust hazards.
NFPA 654 was once considered the umbrella standard for all
industries not covered by other NFPA standards for specific
industries.
The new NFPA 652 sets a baseline for all industries. In
addition, NFPA 652 concentrates
more on specific management
and procedural requirements to
mitigate fire and explosions from
combustible dust. Together, NFPA
652 and the other industry-specific
standards provide a comprehensive
framework for managing
combustible dust hazards.
"The risks from fugitive combustible dust continue
to remain high for grain processors. Fugitive dust

accumulates, forming a combustible cloud that
results in explosions that destroy facilities and/or
injure or kill employees
Steps to designing a helpful DHA:
Step 1: Identify all processes connected with combustible dust.

List process lines where dust could exist. Identify all pieces of
equipment, such as bins, silos, tanks, bucket elevators, sifters,
dryers, ovens, conveys, screen augers and classifiers.
Combustible dust standards
During the development of NFPA

652, (Exponent, 8.11.15) there
was debate over how to interact
with existing commodity-specific
combustible dust standards, when
those standards contain differing
requirements. To accommodate
those differences, NFPA 652
contains a conflict section on
which standards take precedence
when there is a discrepancy in
requirements.
Overall, NFPA 652 emphasizes
the need to evaluate and manage
- not just measure. The main
changes lie in the need for a Dust
Hazard Analysis (DHA) and a
Management of Change (MOC)
plan.
How to develop an actionable

DHA
The Dust Hazard Analysis is

one of the biggest changes in
required activities for feed and
grain processors. In fact, a DHA
is required for all companies that
generate, process, handle or store
combustible dusts or particulate
solids. It is required and is
permitted to be phased in no later
than three years from the effective
date of the standard and is applied
retroactively.
"
F
Step 2: Identify locations where dust can accumulate. This
means you have to inspect all areas where dust exists, and
identify the level of accumulation. You must pay particular
attention to overhead structures such as piles, joists, beams and
ductwork. You also have to examine drop ceilings and any area
where dust potentially could be released in abnormal conditions.
Step 3: Determine your ignition sources. This can come from
anywhere, but pay attention to process equipment, smoking,
static electricity, forklifts, welding or other high temperature
work, friction, electrical sparks or arching, radiant heat, and open
flames.
Step 4: Quantify the risk. Evaluate the deflagration and
explosion potential for each area and piece of equipment.
Determine the severity of risk for employees and processes. If the

What is new with OSHA?
The good intentions of NFPA do not necessarily translate into

good practice. Whilst all of these standards are developed by
experts in the field, they are are only voluntary.
OSHA regulations give legal teeth to these standards. Since
2006, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has been pushing
OSHA to announce and enforce a general industry standard for
combustible dust. This push occurred after the
CSB study that found there were so many dustFigure 1: Industries involved in dust related incidents

Bentall Rowlands
Storage Systems
Limited is a leading UK
manufacturer in complete
storage and processing
equipment for the agricultural and industrial markets.
They offer a wide range of galvanised steel silos and hoppers,
water tanks, catwalks and platforms, material handling
equipment, cleaning and grading and weighing and drying
systems that are assembled worldwide.
Their engineering and technical expertise combined with
continued focus on customer satisfaction places them in a
strong position to capitalise on the expanding market in storage
systems. With the capabilities to design, manufacture, supply
and install storage systems from an extensive range of products,
they provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions, which can be
designed to any specific clients requirements.
Bentall Rowlands have designed and installed silos worldwide,
including the UK, Kenya, Thailand, Germany, Holland, France,
Ukraine, Malawi, New Zealand and many more.
Kevin Groom, Technical Director stated recently that, Our

storage systems are individually designed for all clients. Each
project has a bespoke design that is sure to match, if not exceed
client expectations. We are extremely proud of the projects
that we have undertaken in many challenging areas, proving
that whatever the specification, we are sure to provide the most
suitable design necessary.
Silo Design
There are a number of reasons why each silo/project is a

bespoke design and it simply comes down to the fact that not
every customer or area is identical. Geographical conditions have
a huge part to play in the design of silos (e.g the application of
the latest Eurocode norms in Europe) as do climate conditions
(influencing aeration and long term storage practices) and site
limitations.
As the worlds population increases we are finding that the
projects are becoming closer to cities and towns. This brings with
it a new dimension where we have to take into account the impact
the project will have on local areas. Not only the increase in local
traffic, but also dust and noise pollution is becoming more of an
issue.
When starting any new project, the first round of meetings
with a customer always proves to be the most important. Great
F
attention to detail is a must when it
comes to a successful project. As a
supplier we must first understand the
needs of the customer. The heres one I
made earlier approach to grain storage
projects has become a thing of the past.
The need for galvanising
Galvanisation is the process of

applying a protective coating of zinc to
the raw materials of the manufactured
parts of the silos in order to prevent
rusting. In areas where high levels of
corrosion could be present, this is a
necessity. Compared to other companies,
we use Z600 (similar but above G185)
as standard whereas some companies
may only use Z270 (equals G90).
This greatly increases the life
expectancy of our silos. For example,
in tropical marine areas where storage
systems are required, you can expect
them to last somewhere around 35 years
which is a huge advantage over other
companies.
Countries that have high levels of
precipitation and humidity will rely on the galvanising of the
silos in order to protect them from this corrosion. This is standard
on all types of storage equipment, to add that extra bit of security
on life expectancy. Powder coating of silos, as per customer
requirements is a part of the services we can render.
Seismic activity
When we are tasked with the job of designing a new storage

facility, there has to be a thorough inspection and survey of the
site done prior to any work taking place. The geology of the
area is key to the design. When designing a storage system for
erection in a known earthquake region, they must be designed to

F
the country's relevant seismic standards.
All silos will need to be built a great deal stronger to cater for
the horizontal loading at ground level and it is far better to keep
the silos height down. Silos that are shorter and wider are far
better than those that are tall and thin. When seismic activity
strikes, a structure that has a larger base area is more likely to
withstand the pressures and remain intact.
If you have a taller and thinner structure, this presents a huge
amount of stress to the lower sections of the silo, which will
ultimately result in the collapse of this structure. Due to the fact
that the magnitude of earthquakes varies greatly, all of our silos
are individually designed to suit each areas requirements and
regional norms.
Dealing with high winds
High winds can cause great problems for a number of

structures, including our storage facilities. We make sure that our
silos are designed to withstand gusts of 50m per second, which
equates to 180km per hour. A couple of years ago, there were
fierce storms that occurred in Scotland.
We had reports that all of the silos withstood the gale force
winds, with no reported problems or damage. In areas where
silos could be prone to these high winds, the structure needs to
be quite similar to that where seismic activity takes place. Silos
will withstand these huge wind speeds when they are designed
to cover a greater base area. This gives them the stability needed
to remain intact once a storm is passing. As much as possible,
Bentall Rowlands will adhere to local legislations.
The local annex of the Eurocodes for Germany for example
brings the height of the site over sea level or the proximity to the
sea into the equation of the wind load pressure calculation.
Temperature change
For countries that are prone to temperature fluctuations, the

design of the storage system needs to be carefully thought out,
especially in countries prone to high levels of moisture. In severe
cold weather where snow can be quite extreme, it is the roof of
the structure that needs to be one of the main focuses. Snow load
is the reason for engineering changes.
When designing the roof, it is important to know what depth
of snow can be expected in a given area. We designed a bespoke
storage system for an area within the Ukraine where the snow can
get extremely deep. We specifically designed the roof on each silo
to be able to withstand a standard pressure of 1 kN/M^2 which
equates to 1 meter of snow. Our engineering department will
confirm with our customer the specific snow loads and norms to
be applied.
Why do silos fail?
On a number of occasions, the failure may only involve

distortion or deformation, which doesnt necessarily pose an
immediate safety hazard. On the other hand, failure can mean
complete collapse of the structure resulting in the loss of use and
in some cases, the loss of life. The major causes of these failures
are predominately down to design errors, construction errors and
utilisation errors.
We make sure that our silos are built to meet the specifications
set out in the design, eliminating any chance of silo failure. We
work hard to build the best relationships with our customers and
spend time making sure that they receive the best possible service
from the initial design concepts through to installation and
completion of the project.

Industry profile
GRANDS MOULINS DE PARIS
Approaching a century of excellence in milling

leading miller since the company
was founded in 1919, over the years
Grand Moulins in Paris has been
able to diversify its activities and
innovate to maximize customer
satisfaction.
Their business covers the entire
wheat chain from its cultivation up
to the finished product. Selecting
the finest wheat varieties to produce premium quality flour
and mixes is an example of how Grand Moulins guarantees its
customers the best products. The company mobilizes people in the
field and operational teams who are passionate about their work
and who combine expertise and know-how.
Similarly, their research and marketing teams create new formulas
and recipes to meet customers expectations in terms of originality,
diversity, and quality. It is well known that compliance with food
safety and health regulations requires the vigilance of every single
employee to constantly monitor all stages of production, in order to
give consumers the best guarantees and the best taste.
The history of Grands Moulins de Paris
Faced with the difficulty of supplying food to the French

population during the first world war, four men devised a great
project: to build the worlds biggest industrial mill in Paris. In
April 1919, their partnership gave rise to Grands Moulins de
Paris, which was managed by the Vilgrain family.
Their passion and taste for innovation have constantly driven
them to grow. For example, in 1929 they created the Paris Bakery
and Patisseries School and the invention of mixes in 1968. The
birth of the first Campaillette came in 1989 and the Recettes de
Mon Moulin brand in 2003.
More recently, the creation of the new Campaillette concept and
new network in 2015 was launched.
And in 2001, with the merger of the milling businesses of
Grands Moulins de Paris, Grands Moulins Storione, Euromill
Nord, and Inter-Farine with Dlifrances industrial bakery
business, one of Europes leading millers - NutriXo - was born.
In 2012, France Farine and its brand Francine joined the groups
milling business.
NutriXo, a leading food industry manufacturing group, the
number-one French miller, and one of the biggest European
industrial bakery manufacturers, positions itself as an ambassador
of French bakery.
In 2013, NutriXo joined Vivescia, a powerful and profitable
cooperative farming and food processing group that controls the
supply chain from field to fork, from the farmer to the consumer,
by meeting the needs of its customers and of society as a whole.
Grands Moulins de Paris now operates on a variety of channels
- artisan bakery, major multiples, food service, food processing
- and export markets with its business highly concentrated in
Europe, Africa and, more recently, Asia and the Middle East.

20% increase in
production capacity
Joordens Zaden increases production
capacity by 20 percent thanks to investment
in new, fast and 100% cleanable Z-Conveyor
by Poeth
oordens Zaden in Kessel, The Netherlands is an

international specialist in the development and
production of seed for green manure crops, forage
crops and forage grasses. The seeds comply with
the high quality requirements of ISTA and are
strictly checked every week by external quality
controllers from the Dutch General Inspection
Service (NAK).
Each step in the seed production and packaging
process must be 100 percent hygienic. With the purchase of
its new fast cleanable Z-Conveyor by Poeth Solids Processing
based in Tegelen, Joordens has increased the capacity of their
production process by more than 20 percent. In addition, with the
new Z-Conveyor Joordens has reduced its cost price and increased
flexibility on peak days.
Transporting minimum 75 m3 fragile seed to eight metre

height
Joordens Zaden, its customers and quality controllers set high

requirements with regard to the quality and undesirable mixing of
seed. Many seeds can barely be distinguished from one another
visually. But as a crop on the land, the contamination is quickly
obvious to the customer. Therefore Joordens Zaden gives high
contamination guarantees for all its products, sometimes even of 0
percent. To comply with the high quality requirements, Joordens
cleans all components within the production process thoroughly after
each product change.
The forty-year old screw conveyor that transports the seeds into
the mixer was always difficult to clean and took one and a half hours
to clean each time. As product changes are made at least once to
sometimes three or four times each day, the screw conveyor was the
limiting factor in the production process. To increase the capacity of
its production process, Joordens looked for a new transport system
that would enable it to increase the capacity of its production process
and reduce cleaning costs.
The new transport system had to be fast and easy to clean and have
a minimum capacity of 75 m3 per hour. Extremely gentle transport,

without the slightest chance of damage, was a requirement. The
system also had to be suitable for a minimum height of eight metres.
Poeths Z-Conveyor: careful, high capacity transport
The list of suitable high-capacity transport systems that fulfil

Joordens Zadens wishes and requirements is small. Pneumatic
transport systems do not achieve the required 75 m3 per hour.
Traditional chain conveyors cannot deal with heights of eight metres
and screw conveyor transport systems are difficult to clean and
damage the product. The Z-Conveyor by Poeth Solids Processing in
Tegelen has, however, been specially developed for the transport of
dry powders, grains and granular materials.
The conveyor transports materials horizontally, vertically or a
combination of the two. The system consists of a steel structure and
HDPE flights that can be cleaned quickly. The flights are carried
by a chain, all contained in an enclosed trough in a gentle, flowing
movement. This means that Poeths Z-Conveyor can transport

materials gently and without any damage.
With its clever design Poeths Z-Conveyor
has a high capacity of 45 m to 220 m per
hour.
Fast cleaning reduces downtime by

one to four hours per day
Poeth custom-built the Z-Conveyor for

Joordens. Joordens cleans the Z-Conveyor
with dry compressed air, which reduces
cleaning time to less than half an hour.
Joordens Zaden therefore saves one to four
hours every day. As the production process
does not have to stop, production capacity
has risen by more than 20 percent.
The investment is particularly beneficial
during the peak season. With the increased
capacity seeds can now be transported to
the mixing process just-in-time and are packaged there immediately
according to customer requirement - without intermediate storage.
This is particularly advantageous for the company during the peak
season as seed supply and customer orders are often unpredictable.
In commercial terms Joordens is now more flexible and can
process more seeds in less time. Poeths Z-Conveyor is also easy to
maintain and energy efficient, which contributes to a reduction in
cost price.
Energy-efficient and explosion-safe transport without

basement and roof structure
Since the Z-Conveyer has excellent performance characteristics at
speeds well below 1 m/s, there is no risk of explosion. This eliminates

the need to make high investments in order to ensure compliance with
the increasingly strict ATEX safety standards. For this reason Poeths
Z-Conveyor is popular for use with explosion-prone materials. In
contrast to traditional bucket elevators, the new Z-Conveyor can be
installed without a roof structure, basement or building pit.
This cost saving also means that the Z-Conveyor is a very
attractive alternative to bucket transport. The Z-Conveyor can be
used for processing bulk solids in a wide range of sectors including
the feed, food, chemicals, pet food, plastics, recycling and brewing
industries.

Supplies just keep on growing
by John Buckley
Prices might have

stayed down or
dropped further still
if not for ongoing
concerns about the
proportion of higher
quality milling wheat
in this years mix.
Wet harvest weather
has lowered protein
content of US hard red
winter bread wheat
its main export grade.
CROP farmers anxiously watching prices fall to ever less remunerative levels have had further
unwelcome news over the past couple of months from yet higher cereal and oilseed crop
estimates across the Northern Hemisphere.
World wheat production has been raised from 731m to 745m tonnes and is now 10m over
even last years giant crop, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The move follows
combined increments to US, Russian, Ukrainian, Australian and Canadian production, far
outweighing a steep downward revision in the EUs prospects since mid-year (which may not be
the end of that story).
In a season of flat growth in world wheat trade the arena in which international value is
made even a prospective 8.7m tonne drop in Europes wheat export potential seems to be
getting swallowed up by the growing competition among its key rivals.
The USDA has also marked up consumption by 20m tonnes since mid-year, putting it some
27m over last years (gains mainly in the US, China and India). However, that fails to stop world
wheat surplus stocks rising from last years 241m to 249m tonnes their highest ever level.
The bellwether US wheat futures markets which started the season under the impression that
world output would decline this year - have responded by trading down to fresh 10-year lows,
shedding about 30% of its peak 2016 value at one point, before a partial bounce-back to a recent
23% net loss.
Prices might have stayed down or dropped further still if not for ongoing concerns about the
proportion of higher quality milling wheat in this years mix. Wet harvest weather has lowered
protein content of US hard red winter bread wheat its main export grade. Excessive rain is
also said to be causing some problems with vomitoxin and low proteins in Canada. French
wheat quality has been badly hit by the rains and floods that plagued its crop before and during
the harvest, affecting Hagberg falling numbers and other milling characteristics, if having less
dramatic impact on proteins, which should at least help disposal into feed outlets. German and
Baltic EU States have also encountered some problems with rain compromising harvest quality
while parts of Russia and Ukraine have seen similar weather problems. Russias crop is so large,
that its smaller proportion of milling wheat to feed may still exceed last years volume. Down
South, the Australian wheat crop, still a month or so away from harvest as we go to press, is said
to suffering some rain damage in New South Wales, its second most important exporting state.
This litany of crop problems is being reflected in larger than
usual premiums for better quality milling wheats over middling/
lower grades. Yet, such has been the descent in the market as a
whole, that even with that increment, some of the top wheats are
still trading at cheaper than usual levels.
In the USA, for example Dark Northern Spring wheat was
offered export (fob) terms for nearby shipments from $264 down
to $247 per tonnes last month much the same as at this time last
year and far cheaper than in the autumn of 2014. But thats a full
$50 premium over better quality (12.5% protein) Hard Red Winter
wheat which is itself trading a massive $37 over ordinary HRWs
(compared with a $10 differential this time last year). The higher
volume of lower quality HRW is meanwhile putting it at a discount
to usually cheaper soft red winter wheat on fob export markets.
This wider than usual quality split and the ensuing price
differential is likely to result in far larger than usual supplies of
wheat offered to the feed sector in direct competition with maize
and other coarse grains in the US, in Europe and on the worlds
export markets especially in Asia, where buyers can be sensitive
to relative wheat/maize pricing.
In the months ahead, these three factors will be key drivers
of the wheat price: massive supplies overall, heavy export

competition and relatively tighter availability of higher quality
wheats. How all this will pan out in terms of average wheat
prices is uncertain. But for the time being, the quality premium
clearly looks likely to stick, if not expand further as buyers try to
get their hands on the best grade supplies first, keeping abundant
lower grade wheat prices under downward pressure.
Even more maize
IT has been a switchback year for the world maize market.
Prices initially rose quite sharply amid constantly sliding
estimates for a drought-reduced Brazilian crop the worlds
second largest export source after the USA. US markets were also

is more than offset by larger crops of sorghum, oats and rye,

indicating total coarse grain production of 1,320m tonnes about
72m more than last year. Along with the competition from cheap
feed wheat, this suggests the feed sector will have to remain
clearance-priced in the season ahead good news for livestock
producers input costs.
Proteins
The oilmeal sector has come under renewed pressure in the past
month from a record US soyabean crop, pushing down the cost
of beans on the bellwether Chicago futures market by about 20%
recently. In its August supply/demand forecasts, the US government
raised its yield forecast from 48.9 to a record 50.6 bu/acre (+5.4%
on the year) which in combination with its earlier raised estimate for
harvested acres, projects a crop of 114.3m tonnes. Thats 11m tonnes
more than expected mid-summer, easily covering earlier reductions
of about 6m tonnes made to weather-hit South American bean crops.
It means that, even with strong exports, the US remains in
soyabean surplus, expected to build carryover stocks to about 10m
tonnes over the coming season, compared with starting stocks of
5.3m and just 2.5m only two years ago.
Good supplies of soya are expected to continue well into 2016/17
as Brazil (just about to start planting) hopes for more normal weather
to deliver its first 100m tonne-plus crop next spring of 2017. Some
observers believe the Latin American soya expansion will slow down
from now on as farmers there switch land back to maize. Corn is
fetching much higher prices in Brazil after this years crop shortfall
and in Argentina, soya (unlike maize) still incurs a hefty export
tax. However, given normal sowing and growing weather, Lat-Am
soya production should still increase by about 3% for the year ahead
at least. In the US, the reverse equation weaker maize than soya
prices - is favouring even larger soya sowings next year, likely
to keep prices well under control (again given the usual caveat of
normal weather).
The bottom line is that soya will provide a larger share of world
total meal consumption in 2016/17 for the second year running
about 71% compared with 67% of recent previous years. Rapeseed
meal, which had previously seen strong growth of supply and
demand, has backtracked with two years of falling crops and
production but will be replaced this season with record large supplies
of sunflower meal up by about 10% from last year and as much as
27% higher than four years ago though still only providing about
5.5% of world total protein meal consumption.
Sunflower supplies are being boosted by bigger crops in Russia,
Ukraine, Argentina and in Europe itself. Sowings have gone up
in the former Soviet countries and in Latin America in response
to better returns from growing the crop, boosted by demand for
sunflower oil, the main crush product.
Rapeseed meal production has been reduced by smaller crops
in Europe and Ukraine to a four-year low although largest singlecountry producer Canada is at least expecting a big crop for a second
year running. Most of the decline in global rapeseed consumption
will be within Europe where it will be replaced by sunflower meal
and soya meal.
The big soya crop should also continue to keep down prices of the
other oilseed meals, most of which are less valuable than soya in
terms of protein content and other quality parameters.

or old plant owners are now planning their facilities to cater increasing
demand of quality food products, proving the credibility of this show.
When asked about foreign players taking a keen interest in India,
the Agriculture Minister added, I was happy to see that many foreign
companies are showcasing their latest technologies here. This will
hopefully help in accelerating the transformation of Indian agriculture
and minimise wastage through use of advanced technologies.
An ideal platform for launching the latest grain milling

technologies
7th GrainTech India 2016:

A catalyst for the enhancement of mills
throughout the Indian subcontinent
he Seventh edition of Indias sole and largest grain milling

technology event, GrainTech India, offered an impressive
show of grain related technologies to the visitors and delighted
the exhibitors with overwhelming response. This annual three
day expo held at BIEC, Bangalore (India), concluded on August 28,
2016. The event is part of the larger India Foodex series. Over the years,
it has gained immense popularity among the leading international players
of the sector and provides the opportunity for emerging players to make
their mark in the industry.
While appreciating the India Foodex series, Krishna Byre Gowda,
Honourable Minister of Agriculture (Government of Karnataka), the Chief
Guest said, A forum like this, connects those with technologies with the
ones in need of technological solutions. It helps in raising the awareness
level about the availability of technological solutions and knowledge.
Helping to build an effective supply chain
As per trade sources, India wastes food grains worth huge amounts
every year because of weaknesses in storage systems & techniques and
deficiencies in supply chain. Through GrainTech India, Media Today
Group is helping the Indian grain milling sector to build an effective
supply chain to ensure what is produced in the farm reaches the consumer
in good shape.
In fact, what is imperative is to plug every loophole in the food
production and distribution system, which means use of effective
available technology and building of modern storage system. Stressing
the need for technological upgradation, V.K. Bansal, President of Roller
Flour Millers Federation of India, which represents 1550 mills of
the organised sector in India, said The flour milling industry is to be
technically upgraded to meet the ultimate product requirement at par with
the international standards.
The industry has to evolve to perfection and contribute to the national
economy. GrainTech India has been of great help to the industry in
ensuring its positive growth.
GrainTech India was launched in 2010, along with the second edition
of India Foodex series, and provided a common professional platform to
the flour milling, rice milling, feed milling industry and its related sectors.
It has now become the proven most prominent annual meeting ground
for the whole grain milling industry for the sourcing of equipment,
accessories, and taking decisions on the set up of new automated plants
in India.
This year, Ugur Makinas stall at the show had a map of India that
proudly displayed its reach and presence across the country. The
participation of foreign companies in GrainTech India has helped in the
upgradation of many mills in India. As per industry sources, over 100
such projects have been installed or are already underway and existing
GrainTech India has a proven track record of being the ideal platform
for launching ones latest grain milling, processing and packaging,
storage, and supply chain technologies. The event has been growing in
size through the course of successive years.
Buhler India, the largest grain milling and food processing machinery
manufacturer, displayed many of its recently launched and innovative
range of products for whole wheat flour, colour sorting that works for all
grains, a new scale and also a coffee grinder. B.S. Muralidhara, General
Manager, Head of Grain Milling, Buhler India said that over the years,
they have received an extremely good response at the show, adding that,
The display of machinery helps in facilitating meaningful discussions.
GrainTech India is a very good platform for the industry to see the
machinery of so many companies at one place.
Though Alapala is already a well-known and established name in grain
milling sector, yet Mehmet Erbay of Alapala believes that participating in
GrainTech India has helped in strengthening its name and image in India
and its neighbouring markets.
Representatives of companies like Fowler Westrup (India) Private
Limited, Hassia Packaging Pvt. Ltd. of IMA Group, and Bastak Group
confirmed that they managed to meet many potential clients at the show.
Over the three days of the expo, they met retailers, distributers, and even
clients from leading Indian companies including giants like ITC and
Unilever.
Cagdas Karakuzu, Director, MySilo Grain Storage Systems Co, who
regularly visits India, pointed out that India is a huge market for grain
milling and storage technology as it is among the top three producers
of wheat, rice and maize. Adding further, he said, We are doing really
good business in India and I would like to say that especially GrainTech
India is an extremely great chance for anyone who wishes to launch their
products in the country.
Strong support from prominent Indian agricultural and food

organisations
The numbers of exhibitors and visitors have been increasing annually.

GrainTech India also has strong support from the members of prominent
Indian agricultural and food organisations, who visit the show and
facilitate meaningful discussions and business deals, adding strength
and value to the event. Among the numerous organisations, whose
members regularly support the exhibition in different ways as visitors
and exhibitors include, Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce
& Industry, The Solvent Extractors Association of India, All India Food
Processors Association, Coffee Board, Roller Flour Mills Federation
of India, Spices Board India, The Soybean Processors Association of
India, All India Rice Exporters Association, Indian Oilseeds and Produce
Export Promotion Council, CLFMA of India, and Indian Biscuits
Manufacturers Association.
Flourtech, Selis, Ortas Milling, Agaram, Bansal, Buhler India, MySilo,
Unormac, Pingle, and Shri Vishwakarma have increased their display

CHINA 2016
This key intensive livestock and feed show is venturing

into the heartland of China in 2018
China is changing and so to is the key exhibition VIV
China. It is becoming obvious with each visit, such as
MAGs recent visit to last months VIV China 2016
in Beijing, that our industry in particular is becoming
more sophisticated and appreciative of new equipment,
processes and products, including additives and
ingredients.
Despite the stabilisation of feed production in China at approximately 185 million tonnes, the country continues to build feedmills and foreign
companies continue to invest in this market.
This is leading to an overall improvement in the quality of products and equipment on display at this latest VIV China 2016 offering held in Beijing
and will be impacting feed and food quality throughout China and elsewhere as local companies expand into the international market.
Besides the exhibition itself, which attracted record attendance, the meeting hosted seven key conferences over the first two days of the event with
Phileo addressing Advanced nutritional preventative strategies for gut health and Sonac addressing the importance of High-quality protein in young
animal diets.
The next edition to be hosted, VIV China 2018, will be held in Nanjing China from September 17-19, 2018.
Here we picture preview the event and those we met. Next month we will report the views and insights of those who exhibited and attended. But in
the meantime heres a flavor of our industrys three days in Beijing.

EuroTier 2016:
The challenge of feeding ten billion
people in the future
he worlds leading trade fair for animal production,

EuroTier, will present future solutions for both aquaculture
and agriculture from 15 to 18 November at the Exhibition
Centre Hanover.
This will give rise to 251 innovations which have been registered
with the event organiserDLG (German Agriculture Society)by the
exhibitors. Innovations will be shown that sustainably increase and
secure business success.
On the other hand, the solutions contribute to the further
improvement of animal welfare and environmentally-friendly
production conditions, as well as the working conditions.
Additionally, international expertise from industry, farming, science
and consultation is present atEuroTier.
2,523 exhibitors from 57 countries will provide a complete offer for
all areas of modern animal production. With this, EuroTier reports a
new record number of registrations. The registration numbers have
increased by approximately four percent when compared with the
previous record result of four years ago.
The exhibition area has also reached a new record size with more
than 280,000 m2. Therefore, the professional animal keepers from all
over the world are offered even more information than ever before.
Outstanding contribution from abroad
Companies from abroad are solely responsible for the increase in

exhibitor numbers. With 1,453 companies (58 percent), foreign firms
are represented more strongly than never before. The majority of the
exhibitors from abroad come from the Netherlands (231 companies).
Large contributions are also made by China (179), France (148),
Italy (133), Denmark (86), Spain (78), Great Britain (69), Turkey
(62), Belgium (55), Austria (54) and Poland (47).
DLG sees this high foreign contribution as a clear sign of the
continuing global alignment of the enterprises and the agricultural
economics with their international interrelations. The firms want to
make targeted use of the EuroTier platform to open up new markets.
High information requirement of animal producers
The amount of information required by animal producers is

still high. Farm and herd managers require the most modern and
professional concepts to make their farms fit for the future.
This applies to all questions in the areas breeding, feeding, husbandry,
management, logistics and especially in the areas animal health and
animal welfare. Solutions required for a yield increase along the entire
value added chain, from production to the end product. At EuroTier,
the latest findings and approaches are discussed in many professional
lectures and discussion rounds on all the exhibition days.
As the Bundesverband Praktizierender Tierrzte (bpt, Federal
Association of Practising Veterinary Surgeons) will be holding its
annual congress again at the same time as the EuroTier on the trade
fair area in Hanover, there will be an intensive exchange of opinions
between veterinarians and farmers from all over the world on
questions of animal health.
Challenge nutrition
The challenge of feeding ten billion people in the future - with food in
sufficient amounts and quality - has not changed, neither has the increasing
demand for agricultural products for energy and material supplies.
That the global demands for agricultural products, for food, fuel,
and fibre will double in the coming decades is well-known and
remains the challenge for the agricultural industry. This challenge can
only be answered by a modern agriculture.
This will need to apply technological innovations and methods
and with them efficiently utilise the scarcest factors of all, the fertile
arable land and grassland areas, while at the same time minimising
the load on the environment.
Spirits in European farming still dampened
German farmers still view the current economic situation cautiously.

This is shown by the preliminary results of the current DLG trend
monitor from autumn 2016.
Even though the prices for slaughter pigs have clearly increased, pig
keepers are emerging from a one-year-long phase of low prices. Dairy
farmers are still in a difficult price situation, where securing liquidity
is in the foreground.
Cash crop producers must be prepared for a phase of low prices, as the
globally large grain harvest, especially in the Black Sea region, is leading
to price pressure. Against this background, German, French and Polish
farmers still view the current economic situation cautiously.
However, British farmers are happier with the economic situation
than they were even in spring 2016.
British farmers more confident again
As the DLG trend monitor further points out, the German and
Polish farmers continue to have cautious expectations for the business
development in the next twelve months.
The business prospects of farmers in France have also deteriorated
considerably. The by far below average harvest there, is causing
incomes to drop, especially those from grain exports. Furthermore,
the situation of the dairy and pig farmers continues to be tense.
In Great Britain, the farmers are clearly more confident about future
business development. The Brexit decision is coupled to hopes for
farming with fewer stipulations, even if it is unclear, how well a
renationalised agricultural policy will be financed.
Energy Decentral 2016
Approximately 330 specialist exhibitors will take part in the

EnergyDecentral 2016, the international specialist trade fair for
innovative energy supply.
This is a slight drop compared with 2014. The number of
agricultural biogas plants is only growing very slightly under the
current political framework conditions.
However, in Germany alone, there is an enormous number
of producing plants, which will contribute its constant share to
regenerative energy production in the years to come.
Optimisation, repowering and operation of the plants are clearly in the
foreground. Besides this, internationally the interest in biogas is unbroken.
World-wide, there is also a high potential for this area in the waste
management area and many innovative developments advanced in the
use of alternative substrates. Examples of this are straw, bagasse or
residues from the food industry.
Many visitors expected
EuroTier is the worlds leading trade fair for animal production.

With its excellent and compact unique information offer, it will
provide orientation for animal producers from all over the globe. The
DLG expects a similar visitor volume to that of 2014, where around
156,000 experts visited EuroTier.

She says, Gold & Green Foods has created a unique and tasty product which
is high in both protein and fibre. The whole proposition stood out for the judges,
as a well-designed, articulated and unique new launch.
Fantastic they have achieved such a great balance of taste, texture and
healthfulness in such a mainstream product range. I am sure it will be a big
success as a healthy source of protein for anyone looking for a plant-based,
meat alternative.
Pulled Oats is a high-protein main dish component which texture reminds
the customer of pulled pork, is easy to approach and use in various dishes.
Pulled Oats comes in three different taste variations, which makes it
possible for consumers to reduce meat in everyday life in an easy and
straightforward way.
The Gold & Green protein food can be called as perfect protein for
the following reasons:
1. 100 percent plant based. Theres nothing animal originated in the
products
2. Sustainable. The ingredients are all originated from sustainable sources
in Europe
3. Nutritionally excellent. The product has over 30 percent of protein
(compared to 23 percent in chicken) and it has a balanced amino acid profile,
comparable to that in meat. The health impacts are present due to the high
level of the oat fiber beta-glucan, which is beneficial for the digestion and
cardiovascular health
4. Taste, mouth feel and usage. The consumers who have tried the product,
have been overly excited about the tender, fibrous structure, the mild and
adaptive taste and especially the easy and straightforward usage of the product in
everyday dishes
Dr Reetta Kivel, CTO of Gold & Green Foods says, Pulled Oats were
developed because we wanted to contribute to the climate challenges with our
skillset.
We highly appreciate the wording of the jury, that encourage us to follow our
visions to change the world.
Consumers have shown Pulled Oats were deeply missed
before its birth, and we are delighted to see that the jury found the
uniqueness of Pulled Oats and sees its global potential.

organisms via a natural fermentation much like making beer or
bread. It is non-GMO and not an animal byproduct. FeedKind
protein is a branded family of animal nutrition products, the
first of which is FeedKind Aqua Protein for the aquaculture
industry.
FeedKind protein has a 71 percent protein content, an amino
acid profile extremely similar to fishmeal and can be included in
aquaculture feeds at very high levels.
FeedKind protein uses methane as its sole source of carbon and
energy. Importantly, methane does not compete with the human
food chain, nor does its production impact wild fish populations
in any way.
Calystas process requires virtually no water or arable land
compared to agricultural protein sources, and has a similar carbon
emission footprint as well.
As the globe moves toward 9.5 billion people in 2050, demand
for protein is expected to rise 75 percent due to improved diets
in the developing world. This growth can only be met via
aquaculture, and innovation in feed ingredients is critical to
supporting the industry.
The other finalists from a broad group of contenders included:
Cicerette from Mareve
U-Loop technology from Unibio A/S
Pea protein a winner
The Most Novel Ingredient award was won by IGV GmbH for
its Vegetal Flakes. The pea-protein extrudates ProteinFLAKES,
ProteinCRISPIES and ProteinNUGGETS are ingredients for
various end-product industries.
IGV has complemented its pea-based protein ingredients with
tailored amino acids to offer a complete protein product for
different consumer groups.
Judge Dr Cindy Gerhardt, Director of Operations, DSM
Biotechnology Centre says, The judges unanimously voted for
IGV GmbH.
The Vegetal Flakes combine strong consumer benefits with
innovative protein processing technology which is of great benefit
to food manufacturers.
Jnos-Istvn Petrusn Head of R&D and Product Management
at IGV GmbH Germany says, Winning the Most Novel Protein
Ingredient Award is the recognition of the concerted effort of
our highly motivated expert team in providing the world with
affordable, tasty and complete vegetal protein alternatives for the
daily food consumption of all consumer categories.
We are looking forward to work with everyone, for a healthy
future.
Pea-protein extrudates are ingredients for various end-product

industries. The basic products are applicable very differently in
the end products. For example, the ProteinFLAKES can be used
for mueslis as well as in the meat surrogates. At the end, you have
the final products high-protein-muesli or roasted meatballs,
Burger-Patty, cooked meatballs or readily prepared premix
for home cooking meatballs.
They are being already used also in the beverages industries as
high protein shakes, smoothies, but also in the dairy industry in
the yoghurt segment, as cereal substitutes.
Proteins could be characterised by their nutritional value,
deduced from the essential amino acid-sequences, in which
meat proteins are usually nominated with 100 percent. Most
vegetal proteins are classified with values between 50 to
90 percent from which soybean protein has a high value of
about 86 percent. By combining different protein sources
with different essential amino acid-sequences (proprietary
technological know-how of our company) IGV has reached
already 100 percent.
Extracts from microalgae find a broader application range and
are used as ingredients applied in pea-based food formulations.
The proteins and special amino acid ratios obtained from algae
still have a huge future potential which remained up to now
partially disregarded, but IGV complemented its pea-based
protein ingredients with tailored amino acid fractions from
microalgae, offering a complete protein product for different
consumer groups.
These products were upgraded by essential amino acids and
rare proteins, providing complete nutrition qualities to each
consumer group, says the company.
The other finalists in this category included:
Most Novel Ingredient celebrates new protein ingredients
that are truly innovative and offered measurable benefits for
manufacturers and consumers.

SPACE 2016:
Perfecting production
from pasture to plate
by Andrew Wilkinson
eld at the Rennes Exhibition

Centre from September 13 to 16,
Space 2016 certainly lived up to
its reputation as being amongst the
world's very best livestock shows. Right from
when representatives from the Ivory Coast,
Togo, Guinea and Cameroon opened the show;
until its closure by the European Commissioner
for Agriculture, Phil Hogan; Space 2016
certainly delivered a truly international flavour.
This year, Space brought together 1,445
exhibitors including 484 international
exhibitors from 42 countries, and 101,963
visitors, including 12,022 international visitors
from 120 countries; a fairly respectable set of
figures given the difficult situation in some
sectors and the fact that the event coincided
with silage harvesting. The participation of
exhibitors remained at the same level as last
year (1 441 in 2015), which was a record year
in this respect.
Owing to the fact that the event was so close
to the important religious holiday of Eid Al

But this show wasnt just about the

people, from the prize cows in the sheds
right up to the beautifully prepared
steaks on the plates in the restaurants;
every aspect of livestock production was
covered.
Space 2016s organisers were typically
French in their generosity and hospitality,
and this was reflected in the very positive
atmosphere of the show. In fact, you could
easily liken the many staff to swans all
calm and elegant on the surface of the
water, but with legs kicking furiously
beneath it; all hidden beneath a beaming
smile and incredibly helpful demeanor.
According to the organisers, praise
from exhibitors at SPACE 2016 was
unanimous, with many citing the, quality
of contacts they had with visitors, during
the four-day event.
Space 2016 developed the political
dimension of discussions with livestock
sector stakeholders. The Minister of
Agriculture, Stphane Le Foll, as well as
various presidential primary candidates,
Industry events
were able to meet with exhibitors and livestock

farmers during Space.
Award ceremony and Exhibitors Gala

Dinner
The first evening of the show was marked by

innovations that benefit animal production. The
50 InnovSpace award-winners presented at the
stands, including five special commendations,
enhanced the quality of the presentations
at SPACE. All of the threads of quality that
made Space 2016 so great were also clearly on
display for this event too.
A very warm welcome was then followed
swiftly by a relatively brief awards ceremony.
Brevity in this instance was welcomed by many
as, Im sure that youll agree, some award
ceremonies at shows can be quite long and selfcongratulatory, but Space kept things short and
compact - and the dual language commentary
was also very welcome too.
Following the conclusion of the awards, those
who were fortunate to have been invited to the
exhibitors dinner were then unleashed upon a
beautifully presented seafood buffet; featuring
a vast array of seafood from lobster to scallops
to oysters. All washed down with a seemingly
endless supply of Bordeaux wine.

that the sole purpose of this event was to

feed people, however the 11 vast aircraft
hangers that make up the former Rennes
Aerodrome site were all full of row after
row of companies that made a living from
serving the needs of livestock, as well
as those who in turn make a living from
farming.
More specifically in Hall 9, the area
where all of the companies that were at
Space 2016 to display their latest Animal
Feed Nutrition. Companies such as
Lohmann were in attendance to display their
Spicemaster range and Olmix were also in
attendance were displaying their new range
called Searup.
Also in Hall 9 AB Vista, were more than
willing to share the benefits of their Vistabet
and Quantum Blue range of products, and
French company Chopin Technologies were
also in attendance displaying their new
AmyLAb FN products. Animal nutrition
specialists Pancosma could also be found
in Hall 9, as were Nor-Feed, an incredibily
innovative company who use plants and
animal extracts for animal health and
nutrition.

As well as those who formulated animal

feed, there were also companies who
dealt with the machines involved with its
production and storage too. One of the
features that towered over Hall 10 was
Collinsons huge feed silo from their Atlas
range. Also in Hall 10 were Van Aarsen
with their range of pelleting machines,
Kahl with their display of high quality
granular presses and pelleting plants and
CPM Europe who provided visitors with a
snapshot of their broad range of impressive
processing machines. MAP Groups
distinctive yellow and blue Dustfix system
and WAM Groups beautifully polished

other side of the hall.
Also present at Space2016 were a
relatively small number of analysis
companies, with Bruker and Perten both
displaying their hardware; with both sets of
staff more than happy to answer enquiries
from visitors and other interested parties.
See you all @Space2017
The almost open plan set up of the

thirtieth edition of Space allowed visitors
and fellow exhibitors to move around
freely and cover a lot of ground in a
relatively short space of time. The end
result of this was that upon the conclusion
of Space 2016, the shows excellent record
in terms of discussions and contacts, based
on trust, in a spirit of construction and
progress, was still very much intact.

A world of food at SPACE
One of the constant themes of

Space 2016 was the presence of high
quality French and international
food. Right from the appropriately
coloured Bordeaux red catering
trucks serving warm meat baguettes
smothered in local sourced Gruyre
cheese, to the exhibitors dinner
that featured an incredibly generous
and high quality buffet, those in
attendance were spoilt for choice
when it came to dining. Although
the Space team really did deliver in
all aspects this year, they excelled in
one aspect in particular - the food!

The career hub

Milling and Grain recognises that both milling companies and those
supplying the milling industry with both equipment and services are
finding it increasingly difficult to recruit staff from within the industry
internationally. The shortage of the right people in our industry being
aware of jobs on offer is likely to slow the development of milling and its
related sectors globally. Therefore,Milling and Grain is devoting a page
to this important subject - alerting readers to job opportunities. This is
not a recruitment page, this is simply an attempt to bring to readers

the interview
Carlos Cabello
Carlos Cabello was appointed Head of Buhler in Northern Europe (Buhler NEU); which comprises
the UK, Ireland, Benelux and the Nordics. A civil engineer who specialises in food process
engineering, Mr Cabello started his career as a food project engineer working in many different
countries.
However, 18 years ago he had the opportunity to work for Buhler in Spain, where he was
responsible for many different business areas, including managing the accounts of some large
international food groups.
Following his appointment to his current role in October 2015, Mr Cabello stated that, I am very
proud to have been offered this amazing challenge, but not only from the professional point of
view, living in the UK was always one of my dreams, it is a wonderful experience for both me and
my family.
With Bhler NEU equipment currently accounting for
65 percent of all global wheat processing, 70 percent
of UK flour production, and the number one supplier
globally of industrial rice processing equipment, to
what do you believe Buhler owe their success, and are
there any measures in place to ensure that you grow
and maintain your current market share?
For more than 150 years, we have been very proud to gain
the confidence of our north European millers. The new
challenges of our customers and industry today require
smarter solutions from us. We are now in a unique position
to offer both better and affordable solutions, coupled with
energy saving, better and closer engineering services.
Our new workshops in Manchester, Mechelen (Belgium) and

Sweden provide roll and sieve refurbishment services using
the most up to date refluting machine tooling operation in
the milling industry.
We now have a milling team based in the UK and are also
able to offer plant automation solutions with our own control
systems design office in Peterborough. Growing is not the
aim, it is the consequence of being able to listen and adapt
to the competitive challenges of our customers.
Sustainability and alternative proteins are two

inextricably linked concepts that have been
becoming increasingly more prominent. With pulses
experiencing a resurgence of popularity in Europe
and the West due to their health properties, what
are the ways in which Bhler NEU are adapting to
these changes, and what is your opinion on grains
and pulses as a viable and sustainable source of
alternative protein?
Gluten free production is growing along with the increasing

trend consumers are taking to eat gluten free bakery
products, not only as a substitute of traditional wheat, new
recipes in the modern food are appearing, the new gluten
free niche enriches the variety that the traditional cereal
industry offers.
Buhler has developed new technology to offer solutions into
this emerging industry like pasta based exclusively in corn or
rice. Breadcrumbs having 100 percent non-gluten containing
cereals, instant flours as base for beverages, soups and infant
food are good examples.
Bhler prides itself on excelling in the areas of

efficiency yield, capacity and consistency, in which
ways do they enable customers to achieve these
three markers with Mycotoxins being such a huge
concern?
Mycotoxins are today a big concern in the food and the

feed industry. Every year thousands of crops are ruined due
inefficient storage or little care during transportations. In the
last few years we have developed new smart solutions that

combines mechanical and optical inspection with the new
Sortex generation.
Today we are in position to guarantee that any crop
after being selected will be in a position to pass any
existing European laws, no matter how severe the input
contamination is.
Given the outcome of the EU membership vote in

the UK, do you believe there will be many changes
to Buhlers current market situation, and are you
concerned about Buhlers future in an independent UK
market?
With Buhler being a multinational group then we are very
used to changing and adapting to suit international and
national market conditions. Buhler will also adapt itself to the
changing UK market following its decision to withdraw from
the European Union.
Should we as an industry be happy with our

technological achievements and the current
standards and quality of grain and feed processing?
Or would that express complacency on our part? If
the latter, what areas should industry be focused
on in order to deliver safer more affordable food,
particularly in developing countries?
Innovation for a better world is our vision. Buhler is especially

committed to provide solutions adapted specifically to
developing countries. We are also very proud to contribute
to enhance the standards and quality achieved in many
food and feed processes, but it is not enough, food safety for
example is one extensive focus in the industry, every year our
R&D bring new solutions contributing in making our life better.
What do you believe is the next step in the Milling

Industry, where do you see the Industry heading
and how will Buhler have a hand in effecting this
progression?
On the one hand the European mill industry has over

capacity, the standard flour is not very profitable and
some plant requires modernisation on the other hand,
our customers are extraordinarily creative in offering new
flour solutions to the markets, looking for new niches and
becoming more productive by reducing their operational
costs with more energy efficient plants and using less labour.
Buhler is constantly supporting in providing smart future
solutions for our customers profitability. We have seen growth
in the competitive European market in the last year, and we
wholeheartedly thank our customers for their determination
in improving their processes.
