"Even though participants don't have to travel to and from the classroom they will still have the benefit of actively engaging in online discussions about the course materials."
AFIA-500 was developed by the feed technology group in KSU's Department of Grain Science and Industry. Topics include the process flow from particle size reduction to batching and mixing, conditioning and pelleting, boilers, post-pellet systems, packaging, load-out and maintenance.
The course will be taught by Dr Charles Stark of KSU's Department of Grain Science and Industry.
Fifty participants will be accepted into the programme.
