Sustainable alternatives for herbivorous fish feed include plant-based ingredients like oilseed cakes (e.g., soybean, sunflower), grains, and pulses, as well as by-products from food processing like rice bran and brewer’s spent grain. Microalgae and other microorganisms also offer promise for providing essential nutrients. Insect-based proteins, such as black soldier fly larvae and mealworms, are another important sustainable alternative, while various local and industrial waste materials are also being explored.

Improving poultry farming commonly involves breed improvement, particularly through crossbreeding local with exotic breeds to create hybrids with desirable traits like high egg or meat production, combined with implementing intensive housing systems like battery cages for increased space efficiency and enhanced management of feeding, health, and culling.

Metals suitable for die making include zinc alloys, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper, brass, and specialized tool steels like D2, with the best choice depending on factors like complexity, run length, and the specific application for which the die is intended.

Aeration is the process of forcing air through stored grain in silos to control its temperature and moisture content. The goal is to keep the grain cool and dry, preventing spoilage, mold, and insect activity..

Aeration directly influences shrinkage in two main ways

Moisture-Related Shrinkage &Temperature and Moisture Uniformity

Pellet die metallurgy is a complex question, with no ‘simple’ answer. Sources of information can be die manufacturers, pellet press manufacturers. The choice of material depends on the ingredients most likely to be used in formulas which will relate to the ‘life’ of the die. Also proper die and roller maintenance are important.
