Phase feeding is a nutritional management strategy in which the ingredient and chemical composition of the diet is modified over time so that the nutrient composition of the diet more closely meets the nutrient requirements of the animal.... The purpose of phase feeding is to decrease excess nutrients in the diet in order to decrease nutrient excretion and subsequent losses of these nutrients to ground water, surface waters or the atmosphere [and] to improve nutritional efficiency, and to lower feed costs. 2, record 1, English, - phase%20feeding

Les bases de l'alimentation en phases. Les besoins azotés du porc charcutier diminuent régulièrement, en valeur relative, en cours d'engraissement. Les besoins azotés des truies sont plus élevés, en quantité, mais aussi en pourcentage, pendant la lactation que pendant la gestation. Pout être plus efficace et mieux assimilé, l'apport alimentaire azoté peut être adapté dans le temps pour prendre en compte ces caractéristiques physiologiques. Cette démarche permet de diminuer les rejets azotés dans les déjections, tout en maintenant les performances techniques et économiques de l'élevage. 2, record 1, French, - alimentation%20en%20phases

ARPAC-Hefestus USA will feature its Hera Packaging System with SLBT(Shelf Life Booster), an innovative technology for extending shelf-life of sealing trays with modified atmosphere(MAP) technology. SLBT uses no vacuum yet it can achieve Oxygen residual levels of less than 1% and does it faster than current MAP systems. This innovative new packaging technology is therefore safe for any food product and can increase shelf life of these products. 3, record 2, English, - shelf%20life%20booster

Un nouveau système de conditionnement des aliments [:] Il s'agit d'une nouvelle technologie appelée SLB pour «Shelf Life Booster» («accélérateur de durée d'étalage»). Aujourd'hui, la technique la plus utilisée est le conditionnement sous atmosphère modifiée (MAP). [...] La technologie SLB n'utilise pas l'aspiration classique de l'air. Elle est basée sur l'utilisation de la force centrifuge pour remplacer l'air présent par un mélange gazeux approprié à chaque aliment afin d'améliorer sa durée d'étalage. [...] Le SLB est destiné à l'industrie agroalimentaire [...] 2, record 2, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rateur%20de%20dur%C3%A9e%20d%27%C3%A9talage

L'emballage dans des feuilles de plastique peut modifier l'atmosphère autour des produits (emballage à atmosphère modifiée ou MAP en anglais). Le MAP limite généralement le mouvement de l'air ce qui permet aux processus normaux de respiration des produits fermiers de réduire le taux d'oxygène et d'élever le taux du gaz carbonique à l'intérieur de l'emballage. La réduction des pertes d'eau est un autre grand avantage de l'usage des feuilles de plastique. 1, record 4, French, - emballage%20%C3%A0%20atmosph%C3%A8re%20modifi%C3%A9e
