Swine Feed Additives Market: An Overview of Growth Factors and Future Prospects by 2018.

Feed Additives

Feed Additives are substances, micro-organisms or preparations, other than feed material and premixtures, which are intentionally added to feed or water in order to provide the supplementary nutrients for the meal that is used for animals.

Vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, K…), amino acids (methionine, lysine…), preservatives (citric acid…), essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega 6), emulsifiers (agar, guar gum) and essential micro minerals (iron, manganese, zinc…) are some examples of feed additives.

Types of Feed Additives

1) Sensory Additive: It is the additive which stimulates the appetite, improving the voluntary intake of a diet. Examples include feed flavors or

sweeteners.
2) Nutritional Additive: these types of additives provides specific nutrients to an animal for the purpose of optimal growth. Vitamins and amino acids fall into this category.

3) Zootechnical Additive: improves the nutritional value of a diet. It doesn't give nutrients directly to the animal, but through its diet. This category includes, among others, enzymes and certain photogenic.

Crop Protection Chemicals: Market Trends and Forecasts to 2018.

What is a Crop Protection?

It is the Branch of horticulture which is concerned with protecting crops from pests, insects, weeds, and diseases. Use of “crop protecting” agents improves yield and quality of agricultural products, consumer preferences Prevents the spread of diseases to crops and livestock (Pierce’s Disease).

Cause of Crop Infection:

1) PESTS: Field crops are infected with a variety of pests. A pest is any destructive organism which causes great harm to crops by destroying crop plants or products obtained from them. These include weeds, insects, mites, rodents, fungi, bacteria etc… If these pests are not controlled at appropriate time then they can damage the crops to the extent of 50 to 70%.

Crop Protection chemicals

Crop Protection chemicals include all pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, as well as biotechnology products. These Crop Protection Chemicals helps to control the thousands of weed species, harmful insects and numerous plant diseases that afflict crops.

1) Pesticides:
2) Herbicides: Herbicides are commonly known as weed killer. Herbicides are widely used in 

 agriculture and landscape turf management.

Circuit Breaker and Fuse Market: Scope, Trends and Forecasts by 2018.

Why do we use Circuit Breakers?

• We use Circuit Breakers to protect an electrical circuit or equipments from the damage caused by an overload of electricity or short circuit.
• The basic function of Circuit Breaker is to interrupt the current flow whenever there is flow of electricity more than an peak value or level.

Difference between Fuse and Circuit Breaker

Fuse is used once and then if the fuse is damaged then there must be a replacement for the fuse.
Unlikely the circuit breaker can be used several times by just resetting it either by manually or automatically.

Depending on the Voltage level of installation, Types of Circuit Breakers are :

1) Low-voltage circuit breakers

These Circuit breakers are generally made for direct current (DC) applications. These are commonly used in domestic, commercial and industrial application for less than 1000 volts.

2) Medium-Voltage circuit breakers
These breakers can be assembled into metal enclosed switchgear line ups for indoor applications, or as individual components for outdoor applications like substations.
Examples: Vacuum circuit breakers, air circuit breakers and SF6 circuit breakers

3) Thermal magnetic circuit breakers
It is the common type of circuit breaker which is found in  most Distribution Boards.It Senses circuit current through the production of heat.
Thermal magnetic circuit breakers Generally uses some type of heating element in series with the load.

4) Magnetic circuit breakers
These circuit breakers uses solenoid(Electromagnet) which opposes to the current as the load of current increases beyond capacity. As the current in solenoid increases beyond the capacity of circuit breaker the solenoid resist to the flow of current by pulling a latch which lets the contacts open.

Operating Mechanism of Circuit Breaker

Circuit Breaker consist of two contacts
1) Fixed Contacts
2) Moving Contacts

Moving contact is used for the purpose of making  and breaking of the circuit by using stored energies in the form of spring or compressed air.
Spring, pneumatic or oil damping is used to arrest the speed of mc while closing.FC contains a spring which holds the mc after closing.

Internal parts of Circuit Breaker

 

Parts of Circuit breaker

Parts of Circuit breaker
1. Actuator lever :-
It is used to manually trip and reset the circuit breaker. It also indicates the status of the circuit breaker (On or Off/tripped). Most breakers are designed so they can still trip even if the lever is held or locked in the "on" position. This is sometimes referred to as "free trip" or "positive trip" operation.
2. Actuator mechanism - forces the contacts together or apart.
3. Contacts - Allow current when touching and break the current when moved apart.
4. Terminals
5. Bimetallic strip
6. Calibration screw - allows the manufacturer to precisely adjust the trip current of the device after assembly.
7. Solenoid
8. Arc divider/extinguisher
