Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2012
FEBRUARY 15, 2012
The aquaculture feed industry’s information specialist, Aquafeed.com presents the 6th international
Aquafeed Horizons Conference.
Aquafeed
Horizons Asia 2012 will take place February 15, 2012 and comprise two sessions:
• Morning session: Nutrition and ingredients
The morning will be devoted to formulation solutions for
aquaculture: traditional and novel protein sources, functional ingredients, nutritional advances:
♦ Is algae the future for aquafeeds?
♦ What’s new with poultry
by-product meal in aquatic feed formulations?
♦ How can we reduce feed cost by optimizing nutrient utilization and gut health?
♦ Can a revolutionary array
of non-GMO soybeans really replace fishmeal in aquafeeds?
Join us for the answer to these and more.

| Peter Hutchinson of E. N. Hutchinson, Auckland, New Zealand, will lead the extrusion workshop |
• Afternoon session:
Extrusion workshop - in association with E.N. Hutchinson Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand.
In a break away from previous conferences, Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2012 will
devote a half day to a practical extrusion workshop. Led by international extrusion consultant, Peter Hutchinson, the workshop
will comprise two sessions: Practical Extrusion and Diet Development for Extrusion Processing.
Practical extrusion will focus on feed extrusion principals,
incorporating screw designs, screw profiles; die design, extruder trouble shooting, drying and cooling.
Practical nutrition will look at diet development for extrusion
processing: sourcing locally available material, matching extruder profile to formulation, die design in relation to species
and high retention (water stable) diets, optimizing the pellet through extruder settings (cook, minimizing nutritional damage,
stability and density), basic quality control, post coating and density control (through coating and dryer design).
Expert Panel
Peter will be joined by an international panel of extrusion
experts to help find solutions to your extrusion problems - so come armed with your questions !
About Peter Hutchinson: Peter Hutchinson studied aquaculture
in Tasmania, Australia, in the early nineties before returning to New Zealand, where he worked primarily in the finfish
hatchery industry. In 1997 he joined the family business (EN Hutchinson Ltd) and established a small extrusion plant, with
a focus on aquaculture nutrition and general R&D. Over the last decade Peter has consulted widely in the field of aquatic
nutrition and extrusion, for a diverse range of major private and public sector companies. This included development of starch
based bio-polymers, breakfast cereals, pet foods, agricultural and aquatic feeds (to name a few).
