Hosted particularly for non-feed millers, and supported by several key company sponsors, the one-day event presented a broad range of engaging presentations that were both informative and educational. We report on four presentations that were generic in nature and highlighted some of the issues the milling industry is dealing with. Right from the opening presentation delivered by Nipond Wongtra-ngan of the Thai Rice Millers Association on the need for World Rice Reform, the conference heard about the difficulties faced by the Thai rice farmer due to the sectors farm support scheme that had failed to deliver prices promised for higher yields. In fact, farmer-backed demonstrations were ongoing in Bangkok with road block- ages around the country, to highlight and express concern over the failure of the governments support scheme as the confer- ence was being held. Since May, large volumes of stored rice, too over-priced for the market to take up, have deteriorated to a point where the government is now undertaking a program to process the poorest quality into ethanol. Back at the conference Dr Laddawan Kunoot, the former assistant director of the Rice Department and the director of the Bureau of Rice Products Development for the Ministry of Agriculture, (now working in the private sector), drew attention to the plight of farmers and outlined the need to reform rice production and marketing sup- port mechanisms in order to deliver better returns to farmers for this basic of foodstuff.

F producing more organic rice for consumers who would be prepared to pay more for a healthier product. Her approach was to offer the benefits of brown rice, which carried more nutrition to the consumer than the highly polished white rice, as a possible solution. She and her team had identified marketing and brand short-comings which meant the more nutri- tious brown rice was not easily identifiable through its packaging for the consumer to make informed choices. Price differences alone often lead consumers choosing the less nutritious product. Organic farmers can make more income from their rice than traditional rice farmers, she says. And there is more income to be made from every part of the rice plant produced. She talked of zero waste and also how farmers could add additional farming options to their operations by incorporating fish, fruit, vegetable and even poultry production onto their farms. Her organisations approach is to encour- age improved farm management to reduce the heavy dependency on inputs such as chemicals and fertilisers and to use more organic substances in growing rice. She also talked about the importance of improved food safety and identified the link between the farm and the miller as the most critical in delivering a quality product to the consumer both in Thailand and abroad. The adoption of Good Agricultural Practices and certification of farming and processing practices would help achieve greater food safety and provide greater confidence to consumers who would be prepared to pay more. However, she did point out that organic rice production in Thailand was below one percent of Thailands paddy rice of 38.8 mil- lion tonnes of production this year slightly above last years output with an expected nine million tonnes going for export (which would be up by a massive 34 percent over 2013 - source USDA). In recent months following the conference, Thailands rice farmers have been offered soft loans and cultivation subsidies to assist them through this years harvest period. Fortification Another non-commercial presentation came from Judith Smit, the rice fortification manager at the World Food Programme who told our con- ference that rice fortification is an underutilized intervention that should be used to address micronutrient deficiencies. The objective is to increase levels of essential micronutrients and to restore levels of micronutrients lost during processing by adding minerals and vitamins to the rice post-harvest. Vitamins and mineral deficien- cies are one of the main causes of poor health and disability, par- ticularly in children in developing countries and impact over two billion people worldwide. She told delegates that there is a strong business case to address these micronutrient deficiencies and that fortification of staple foods was a proven, cost-effective and sustainable intervention to increase uptake in the general population. As the staple food for three billion people, rice has the potential to fill a clear gap in the current fortification landscape, she said. Fish and rice The final speaker of the day was the general manager of the International Association of Seafood Professionals, Roy Palmer, who explained that while fishing and fish eating went back further than rice production and consumption, in terms of a staple food source for humans, today aquaculture was the fastest growing sec- tor that produces protein for human consumption. Eating fish goes back as far as man can recollect and has been traded over many thou- sands of years as cured, smoked and preserved. However, today consumers are given incorrect information over many years and do not know whether or not they trust retails or the industry that supplies them. He told millers that greater efficiencies in feeding fish was needed and that millers had a role to play. He also drew comparisons between the rice and flour milling sectors and the development of fish farming. He said that a developed infrastructure drives innovation and that both rice milling and fish feeding required better infrastruc- tures in order to bring about innovative developments that would drive production, food safety and value for money. 42 | July - August 2014 GRAIN & FEED MILLING TECHNOLOGY F sive as the temperature and moisture increase. The consequences of heating are loss of substance and increased risk of insects and mildew. A grain cooler avoids the disadvantages of the post-harvest period of the grain. In cellular respiration, oxygen is absorbed and carbohydrates are then converted into carbon dioxide, water and heat. The result is a loss of substance. The grain respiration molecular formula of the chemical process: Animals in the storage facility According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 15 percent of harvest crops spoil worldwide. Insects and mites Various types of insects are encountered in a grain storage facility. All have in common that their activity depends on the temperature. Figure 6, shows some species of the most common insects in humid tropical areas and their optimal life and development conditions. If insects find optimal temperature and humidity conditions, losses will occur due to feeding and excrement. Insects and mites multiply explosively under favorable conditions. At locations where the insects attack, the respiration of the grain increases and hot spots develop. In addition, there is the metabolic activity of the pests themselves, which further promotes heat and humidity. This creates more favorable conditions for mold and, at very high levels of humid- ity, even bacterial growth. Losses through insects can be effectively prevented by cooling the harvested crop to temperatures below 15 C, at which insects become inactive. Fungi mycotoxin Mi croorgani sms such as fungi and bacteria adhere to the surface of the grain ker- nel. The development of fungi depends on the temperature, humidity and the grains mois- ture content (Fi g. 7). Thi s development is prevented in the storage facility by drying and GRANIFRIGOR grain cooling. Mycotoxins can be formed by fungi. Mycotoxins According to the FAO, the loss is caused by the following: 80% due to insects 10% due to rodents and birds 10 % due to fungi Figure 4: Empirical values for energy consumption for one cooling process of grain in the tropics Cooling (K) 20(eg. From 35C to 15C) Region Asia Climate Zone Tropics Electricity consumption in (KWh/t) 6-12 Figure 5: Shows the grain heat generation depends on the grains temperature and moisture content. In practice, this can be used to determine the substance loss of the stored grain.

The 2014 Asia Awards for Milling Innovation 44 | July - August 2014 GRAIN & FEED MILLING TECHNOLOGY F The 2014 winner The winner this year was hazarmon.com pro- duced by 4B Braime Elevator Components. This is an evolutionary product that uses the internet and digital technology to minimise dust explosions. A dust explosion remains one of the most hazardous risks in the milling and related grain handling industries. Dust explosions have been the cause of more injuries and fatalities than any other cause and thus their prevention is of paramount importance for safe and efficient operation of a plant handling grain or powdered material, say the judges. The Hazarmon system takes real time condition monitoring of equipment faults, including those which can be a source of dust explosion ignition, to a new level and promises to lead to higher standards of safety and efficiency. The use of cloud technology to store data, provide back-up and ensure off site security of use is a major advance. Naming this product the winner they also granted it highly commended status. Runner-up Also highly commended was the Combistoner produced by Buhler AG of Uzwill, Switzerland. The cleaning of grain prior to milling or other food use is a vitally important function in the grain processing industries to meet ever higher standards and certification of food purity. The Combistoner takes well proven concepts to a new level by providing equipment for higher (28tonne/hour) and thus more cost effective, capacities. The recycled air option reduces the need for filtration with conse- quent further savings in energy as well as providing reduced operating and capital cost. Third place In third place was the Super SHG Hydrascrew by Morillon SAS of France and given a commendation by the judges. This product meets the need for a means to discharge bulk materials with poor flow characteristics. These materials are frequently encountered in the milling and particularly animal feed milling, industries. The large size of this new Hydrascrew model suits the trend towards bin dimensions of ever greater capacity to provide econo- mies of scale, they add. The hydraulic drive is an unu- sual and attractive feature since it is intrinsically safe in a dusty environment and can provide a high starting torque which is desirable in this application.

Mr. Jonathan Zheng ZHENG CHANG We have not seen before a Show of such international standard in the livestock industry in Myanmar Mr Win Sein Vice Chairman Myanmar Livestock Federation Hosted by: Media Partners: Supporting Organisations: Platinum Sponsors: Gold Sponsors: Silver Sponsor: F Animal feed trials at HGCA by Tom Blacker, from a visit to Cereals UK The UKs Home Grown Cereals Authority gave an exclusive presentation to Grain and Feed Milling Technology about its new steps in the world of animal feed. Usually researching and providing essential services in the wheat and cereals areas, animal feed is a new sector it is entering into. GFMTs Tom Blacker spoke exclusively to Dr Jos Houdijk, Reader in Animal Nutrition and Health at Scotlands Rural College, about this development. P rocessing grain in a feedmill requires a lot of quantity. Companies such as Cargill would tell us to come back with an amount as large as 500 tonnes to process as a minimum, the man from HGCA told me. He found a small pilot plant in France, working with quantities between 100 to 300kg. We packed up 12 batches of variety spe- cific whole seed grains on a ship to Paris and Bordeaux and they will be processed and sent back to us, says Dr Jos Houdijk, Reader in Animal Nutrition and Health at Scotlands Rural College. We are now in the process of charac- terising their chemistry and putting them through [feeding] chickens and pigs for the research work. In the end, what we are trying to achieve is to say to levy payers that different varieties of rapeseeds may have a different feeding value when it comes to the effect on a pig or chicken. It is going to be a long process to improve the varieties and improve the nutri- tional qualities, even from a mix of varieties. Nevertheless, if for arguments sake we sup- pose that the range of varieties are split by half: a good side and a bad side, and if the bad ones can be phased out, quicker than the good ones, then by definition, it should go up in quality: this is what we are trying to achieve, he added. HGCA hopes to get the first results out in the open by the end of 2014. It will not be in time for drilling seeds this year but hopefully for next years drill- ing. Growth trials will follow when HGCA understands the effect of grain variety on digestible energy and standardized ileal digestible amino acid levels. Grower pigs may expect 7.5 percent of their feed to be formed by these varieties and older pigs at 10 to 12 percent. In poultry, the level will be at about five percent. This new type of formulation will mean HGCA can go higher in information and advice on using rapeseed for two reasons: first, the information it does have is 10 to 15 years old, the new information will mean that feed formulations can go higher in the amounts of these varieties used; second, a country like Canada is using much higher levels of rapeseed meals with pigs without any side effects in production. Therefore, the potential must be there for the UK, HGCA extrapolates. In Canada they use more current data than us, in feed formulations based on stand- ardised ileal digestible amino acids and net energy levels. Here, we use that on values from books that do not tell us information about these varieties, which are the differences. The effects on the animals should hope- fully be better digestibility of proteins from one variety compared to another. If we know the digestibility of protein and other minor assets in the protein its better. We can then recommend using that variety in feed formu- lations. This also means using lower amounts of the other varieties in the feed matrix when comparing varieties with soy, he says. Benefits will include the feed industry being more actively able to accordingly formulate diets to requirements. We can make better use of the differ- ences between varieties. In the past, it was not possible. We will have a lot of data at the end of this year that will hopefully be published in papers and on the HGCA website, he says.

CONFERENCE Global Milling Conference with grapas 2015 Koln, Germany - June 9, 2015 46 | July - August 2014 GRAIN & FEED MILLING TECHNOLOGY F G rain and Feed Milling Technology is pleased to be working with nabim to revive our regular training features (which forms the basis of todays nabim correspondence courses) which first appeared in the magazine over 50 years ago and proved extremely popular throughout the 1960s in the UK milling industry. After receiving feedback from our sub- scribers, and looking at the development in flour, rice and cereals milling around the world, the consensus was that the timely revival of a regular, introductory training feature each issue would provide both a platform for the exchange of knowledge and would be of real practical use in the milling environment. In turn, the overarching aim at Grain and Feed Milling Technology magazine is to highlight to students the presence of nabim, a world leading organisation in the training and certification of mill operatives. As an organisation, nabim has three principle functions; to promote the flour milling industrys views to the government, parliamentarians, regulators, the media and other interested bodies within the UK indus- try; to improve the understanding of the operational requirements of the flour mill- ing sector and to provide information and advice to its members on a wide range of subjects affecting flour milling. Founded in 1878, nabim remains com- mitted to the development of people within the flour and milling industry, both within the UK and around the world. The organisation remains dedicated to providing the most up-to-date educa- tion and training packages. The flour milling industry is a highly skilled and challenging industry, with training and education playing a vital role for employee development. Nigel Bennett, secretary of nabim holds the provision of train- ing as being pertinent to nabims aims and objectives describ- ing their distance-learning pro- gramme as the bedrock of mill- ing training. nabim have been at the forefront of such training for a century or more. Vital to their success is a programme that is developed by millers, delivered by millers, for millers. GFMT supports and promotes these objectives. nabims training pro- gramme is comprised of seven modules covering fundamental topics from safety, health and hygiene through to mill processes and performance. The added benefit GFMT plans to bring to millers, is a introductory step to greater awareness of the importance of continuing education and training within the milling industry globally. We have very much enjoyed going back through our archives in order to take a look at the correspondence courses. Grain and Feed Milling Technology looks forward to bringing together a feature from the past for the present day reader as part of its cover- age of this important topic.

The program has to be presented as one that millers cannot afford to miss. Therefore the calibre of speaker and presen- tation subject are paramount, he says. To offset the cost of engaging speakers, the conference will introduce for the first time, a registration fee of 75/person for the full day, or 30 per session. Coffee will be included between sessions. Those opting for all three sessions will be offered lunch. Outline The one-day conference will take place from 09:30 on June 9, 2015 in a conference room alongside Victam. It will be broken into three two-hour themed sessions with a coffee and lunch break in-between. The whole event will be held in English. A registration fee of 75/ person will be charged for the full day. However, delegates can attend by session for 30/each. Registration will be online with delegates registering up until the day of the conference. We are aiming to offer this one-off conference to 75-100 delegates only. Space will be limited, says Mr Gilbert. The programme will be made up of three separate sessions which delegates can dip into and out of, or opt to attend all. We will favour those who elect to attend the whole programme in allocating space, he adds. The full programme can be viewed as it develops and delegates can register to attend via this link: www.gfmt.co.uk/gra- pas2015.
