A method and means for producing a feed product containing a mixture of krill hydrolysate or fresh krill and a dry carrier (plant protein, dry krill, fish or byproduct meal)

摘要

A method and apparatus used in producing a feed product or premix and the products made by the method is described. A predetermined quantity of krill hydrolsyate is added to a predetermined quantity of dry carrier with or without a predetermined quantity of liquid marine protein. The mixture is subject to evaporation and drying steps in which heavier particles are separated from relatively lighter particles. The mixture may be blended, ground and subject to chemical reaction in a balance tank prior to entering a dryer. The dryer utilizes a warm air source, a tower and cyclone to dry the mixture following its entry into the dryer. Temperature sensitive enzymes or other bioactive products may be added to the product produced from the dryer. A method for obtaining enzymes from a fresh krill extract or an autolysed krill preparation and the product are also disclosed. A method for separating the bound protein and pigments from crustacean waste using krill enzymes and a product produced by the method are also described.
