A composition of organic materials includes an organ-based animal meat reduced to a pulp, a binder, and a percentage of liquid to enable creation of a homogeneous mixture with a viscosity similar to a batter upon blending the organic materials together. The mixture is poured into a waffle form and cooked, then cooled, freeze dried, and vacuum sealed into an individual pouch.

Lipids can be extracted from a microbial biomass that constitutes at least 20% lipids by weight and has a moisture content of less than 4% by weight by applying pressure to the biomass so as to release lipids therefrom, thereby leaving a biomass of reduced lipid content; and collecting the lipids.

The present invention relates to a hatcher basket for holding newly hatched birds in an incubator. The basket has: —a pair of side walls on horizontally opposite sides having a plurality of horizontally-extending openings through them; —a horizontally-extending trough which is attached to the exterior of each side wall and which can contain feed for the newly hatched birds; —the bottom of each opening in each side wall being located at the same distance above the bottom of the side wall; —the top of each trough being located at this same distance above the bottom of its side wall; and —the size of each opening being significantly larger than the head of the newly hatched birds but significantly smaller than the thorax of the newly hatched birds.

Regenerative vapor energy recovery system and method for use with an ethanol plant. Regenerative vapors are partially condensed in a regenerative precondenser using a warm water stream. The warm water stream is fed to the regenerative precondenser and the partially condensed regenerative vapor stream is sent back to the ethanol plant where the stream is fully condensed using an existing condenser. The ethanol plant is thus operated at greater energy efficiency with lower operating costs than would be achieved with conventional systems.

The present invention provides a poultry feed or drinking water composition comprising monomethylsilanetriol (MMST), said poultry feed or drinking water composition for improving weight gain and gait score, and a method of breeding poultry by feeding to said poultry a feed or drinking water composition comprising MMST.

A product in powder form having a dry matter content of at least 90% by weight on its total weight and containing lactose in a quantity of at least 85% by weight on its total weight, as well as having a high bulk density; moreover a process for the production of this product in powder form is disclosed, comprising the steps of vacuum-concentrating a lactose-containing liquid, mixing the so-concentrated liquid with a lactose-containing powder and with a high dry matter content and, finally, drying the so-obtained powdered mixture.

A wheat bran composition of the invention contains a white wheat as a raw material, wherein the wheat bran composition has a dietary fiber content of 43 mass % or greater and a glucide content of 18 mass % or less. The invention also provides a method for producing a wheat bran composition, involving pulverizing grains of a white wheat to obtain a wheat bran composition having a dietary fiber content of 43 mass % or greater and a glucide content of 18 mass % or less. The invention also provides a premix containing the wheat bran composition. The invention also provides a method for producing a processed food involving using the wheat bran composition as a raw material.

The present invention relates to a protein depleted rapeseed meal composition comprising, based on dry matter content, from 20 to 35% (w/w) of protein and from 15 to 35% (w/w) of oil, wherein said meal comprises a total amount of cruciferins and napins of less than 1% (w/w).

The present invention relates to a liquid food product comprising a liquid fraction of a brewer's spent grain and a method of preparing said liquid food product. In particular the liquid food product is prepared from brewer's spent grain where a vegetable or animal material has been added and the mixture subjected to an extraction step to provide an improved taste and mouthfeel.

The present invention provides a novel method for disposing of spent bleaching earth that is economically beneficial and avoids the problems typically associated with its disposal. By adding fine-particle lime (calcium carbonate) to the spent bleaching earth discharged from the process filters, spontaneous combustion can be eliminated. The material can then be transported in solid form to a production facility for use as a nutritious ingredient in making a wide range of feed products for poultry and livestock.
