Canadian Feed Research Centre (CFRC)

Global animal protein production is growing annually and feed processing will increasingly become important in the conversion of low quality feedstock into safe, nutritious food for farm and companion animals. The Canadian Feed Research Centre is a unique facility that incorporates laboratory, pilot line and industrial feed processing capacity. The laboratory can accommodate new technology for evaluation. The pilot scale feed processing line is well-equipped for comparing feed processing parameters and capturing information on production costs and throughput.  Pilot scale technology includes various particle-size reduction lines, pelleting equipment, extrusion, steam flaking, and vacuum coating. Pelleting equipment can facilitate 1MT to 20 MT of pellet production per hour, as an example.
