June 21 (CNS Canada) – Two new terminals are planned for the Black Sea port at Novorossiysk, Russia. Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP) plans to build a facility to handle oil transshipments with 100,000 tonne storage capacity, as well as a grain handling terminal at the site.

A Canadian company says it has developed a web-based feed assessment tool to help farmers better understand the types and amount of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) that exists in their livestock feed. Users can enter a diet from available feed ingredients and specify the ingredients’ ration percentage. The program then calculates the percentage of total NSP in the diet and also determines different types of polysaccarides in the feed ration.
