The fast growing aquaculture sector demands increased
inclusion of plant ingredients in the feed due to a shortage of marine
ingredients such as fish meal. Olav Fjeld Kraugerud studied starch
gelatinisation during extrusion and the effect of non-s...

The aquafeed manufacturing industry is widely
recognised as one of the fastest expanding agricultural industries in the world.
Fish meal is the main protein source in aquafeed, but supply is limited, which
means that alternative sources need to be...

Nutrition is one of the key drivers in
animal production, especially intensive animal production. In aquaculture, the
