IMPACT OF FACILITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM ON PRODUCT PHYSICAL LOSSES IN A POULTRY FEED MILL UNIT

Abstract A pilot project research has been conducted to eliminate odor pollution from the feed mill industry. The feed industry in Indonesia has grown, especially in poultry feed production produced in modern feed mills equipped with pelleting technology. This industry is also having an environmental impact in the form of air pollution of its production activities. The laboratory analysis showed that ammonia has emitted, and it was the dominant parameter as the cause of odor in air pollution. This research aims to remove ammonia emissions using dry filtration technology with activated carbon as the filter media in the upright reactor. The reactor is designed from stainless steel material, consisting of 3 trays. The distance between trays is 300 mm, the dimensions of the tray are L.2430 mm, W.1815 mm, H.600 mm, the tray hole diameter is 3 mm. The average gas flow rate is 200-300 Nm3/min. Activated carbon used granules, size 6-8 mm, 200 mm thick in the tray. The results showed that the efficiency of ammonia removal was 81.96%-94.40% and had met the quality standards. This technology is feasible to control ammonia as an odor pollutant in the feed mill industry.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the quantity, costs and contaminations of the physical losses of products (corn, meals, flours, feeds, and micro ingredients) caused by the maintenance system utilized in equipment of the different stages of a feed production mill. The experiment was conducted in a feed industry with production capacity of 1,000 ton day-1. Firstly, an assessment of the maintenance system used in the feed mill was performed, after the products losses were quantified in the external and internal sectors of the milling steps. Two methods were utilized for loss quantification: per sector and per equipment of the feed industry. Samples of the products were collected in different points of the area evaluated for counting of fungi and salmonella colonies, insects and mites. The results showed that a large number of maintenances were not performed within the programmed period, up to 70%. In addition, the equipment maintenance system utilized in the feed milling significantly influenced product losses, reaching 120 kg and costs of US$ 38 per hour worked. The microbiological analysis presented a high contamination index by fungi and salmonellas sp. (7,4 x 104 CFU g-1) in corn grain.

Feed Mill

The study aims to examine the profitability and forward linkage analysis of poultry feed covering Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, Kishoreganj and Mymensingh districts. In total 30 feed mills which categorized such as high, medium and low quality on the basis of feed conversion ratio along with 45 dealers; 15 sub-dealers and 120 farmers purposively. The primary data were collected during March 2013 to March 2014 by using survey schedule, KII and FGD. In addition, the secondary data were collected from different government documents. It is evident that the cost of feed was found Tk. 39295, Tk. 38643 and Tk. 37218 per MT (metric ton) respectively for high, medium and low quality feed mills. The gross returns were found Tk. 43160, Tk. 42330 and Tk. 40500 per MT and gross margin was Tk. 6486, Tk. 5957 and Tk. 5285 per MT respectively. The net returns were found Tk. 3865, Tk. 3687and Tk. 3279.2 per MT respectively. It indicates that total gross return, gross margin and net return of high quality feed mill is higher than medium and low quality feed mill. It is also evident that about 60% of raw materials were purchased from Dinajpur, Rangpur, Rajshahi, Jamalpur and coastal areas namely Bagergerhat, Chittagong and Khulna where as 100 percent of feed additives were imported. The unavailability of raw materials was the major problems for feed mills operation which influenced feed price and quality. If these problems could be solved within a reasonable time, stakeholders would be able to get more benefits and run business smoothly.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 14(2): 201-208, December 2016

As quality of feed is the main determinant factor in successful poultry farming attempts were made to evaluate the quality of feeds used in the farms of Bangladesh. Feed samples were collected from two layer farm, four big hatcheries and six broiler farms located in different areas of Bangladesh and the collection was continued for twelve months. For monitoring the quality, dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, ash and calcium content in the feed were determined. The information regarding the source and ingredients of the feed as well as the feeding practices followed by the farms was also recorded. Based on age, purpose and stage of production, different feeding systems were practiced by the farms. In the present investigation, breeder farms were found to own feed-mill where they produced their feed and the quality of the feed appeared better compared to those used in broiler or layer farms. The nutrient contents in breeder ration were as per recommendation of the strain producing company. A wide variation of nutrient contents was observed in the feed fed to broilers in different farms. When the broiler feed was produced in the own feed-mill of the farm or supplied from a renowned feed- mill, the quality appeared to be quite acceptable with some deviation. Some self-prepared broiler feeds contained higher amount of ash and calcium. The broiler feed from retailer shop was found to be least acceptable. Remarkable fluctuation was noticed in metabolizable energy( ME) and ash content of layer layer feed procured from the retailer shop.

Studies were conducted to determine if individual American, German, or Oriental cockroaches could acquire a naladixic acid-resistant strain of Salmonella typhimurium from an infected food source and then infect noncontaminated colony members, food, and water. Cockroaches, food, and water were sampled after 24, 48, 72, and 96 h and assayed for S. typhimurium. Cockroaches, food, and water samples were positive for S. typhimurium at each 24-h sampling period. American and Oriental cockroaches were contaminated twice as often as German cockroaches. In a second study, the incidence of S. typhimurium cross-contamination between 1 or 5 infected cockroaches and 10 noninfected cockroaches was followed over 4 d. The highest frequency of cross-contamination occurred within 24 h and declined thereafter. Water sites were heavily contaminated throughout the 4-d test period. In a third study, the potential for contamination of table eggs via S. typhimurium-infected cockroaches was evaluated. Whole egg rinses of eggs exposed for 24 h to infected cockroaches contained a minimum of 75 S. typhimurium cells per egg. In a final study, American cockroaches captured from a commercial poultry feed mill and hatchery were assayed for salmonellae using an ELISA method. Five of 45 feed mill and eight of 45 hatchery cockroach samples were confirmed positive for salmonellae. These findings clearly suggest that cockroaches are capable of acquiring and infecting other cockroaches and objects, therefore implicating them as potential vectors of foodborne pathogens in poultry production and processing facilities.
