Ford's office says it is seeking additional guidance from Toronto Public Health on all precautions that the premier and isolating staff must follow.The statement says Ford will continue leading his government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic while in isolation, including briefings with officials and communicating with the public.COVID-19 case counts remained high in Ontario on Tuesday — with 3,469 new cases and 22 more deaths reported. Also, the province's two biggest COVID-19 hot spots are moving to temporarily close businesses with recent outbreaks of the virus in an effort to rein in surging case counts they said were fuelled by workplace spread.Toronto and Peel Region announced within hours of each other Tuesday that they would issue updated orders requiring businesses that have seen five or more linked cases in the past 14 days to shut down for 10 days.---Also this ...OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada will say today how it sees the economy faring over the coming months and the path for inflation amid the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.Along with the outlook, the bank will announce what is happening to its key interest rate target that has been set at 0.25 per cent during the pandemic in a bid to lower interest rates on consumers and companies and boost the economy.Governor Tiff Macklem has said the rate won't move until the economy is ready for higher interest rates and inflation is back at the bank's two per cent target.The central bank has already said that it expects the economy will grow over the first three months of this year, after its January forecast predicted a slump to start 2021.That better-than-expected start to the year may see the central bank raise its outlook for the full year just as the federal government did in its budget Monday.The federal budget, based on an average estimate from private sector economists, predicted real gross domestic product to rise by 5.8 per cent this year after a 5.4 per cent contraction in 2020.---What we are watching in the U.S. ...Reaction poured in Tuesday following the conviction of a white former Minneapolis, Minn., police officer in the death of George Floyd last year.Derek Chauvin, 45, was handcuffed and taken away to prison, where he could stay for decades when he is sentenced in about two months.The case triggered worldwide protests, violence and a furious re-examination of racism and policing in the United States. The verdict set off jubilation mixed with sorrow across the city and around the nation. Hundreds of people poured into the streets of Minneapolis, some running through traffic with banners. Drivers blared their horns in celebration.U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed the verdict, saying Floyd’s death was "a murder in full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world" to see systemic racism. But he warned: “It’s not enough. We can’t stop here. We’re going to deliver real change and reform. We can and we must do more to reduce the likelihood that tragedies like this will ever happen again.”Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also welcomed the guilty verdict.“What we saw over the course of last year with the sudden awareness by everyone of what racialized Canadians and racialized people around the world had known for far too long that systemic discrimination continues," Trudeau told Edmonton-based online talk show host Ryan Jespersen in an interview."The micro-aggressions, the overt racism, the challenges within our institutions and within our daily lives that exist need to be addressed."---What we are watching in the rest of the world ...MOSCOW — Two close associates of Alexei Navalny were detained today ahead of protests planned to support the imprisoned Russian opposition leader, who has been on a hunger strike since March 31. Navalny's team called Sunday for nationwide protests after reports about the politician's health deteriorating in prison. Russian authorities have stressed that the demonstrations were not authorized and warned against participating in them. Vladimir Voronin, a lawyer for top Navalny ally Lyubov Sobol, said on Twitter that people “in uniform” removed Sobol from a taxi near a Moscow metro station this morning and took her to a police station. Police also detained Navalny spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh, who is currently under house arrest on charges related to January protests in support of the politician. Yarmysh was detained near the entrance of her apartment building when she went out during the one hour she is allowed to leave, her lawyer, Veronika Polyakova, said on Twitter. Navalny was arrested in January upon his return from Germany, where he had spent five months recovering from a nerve agent poisoning he blames on the Kremlin. Russian officials have rejected the accusation. His arrest for an alleged violation of a suspended sentence from a 2014 embezzlement conviction triggered protests that represented the biggest show of defiance in Russia in recent years. Soon after, a court ordered Navalny to serve 2 1/2 years in prison for the embezzlement conviction, which the European Court of Human Rights deemed to be "arbitrary and manifestly unreasonable." ---On this day in 1948 ...William Lyon Mackenzie King set a record of service as a Commonwealth prime minister — 20 years, 10 months and 10 days. He retired the following November.---In entertainment ...With COVID-19 tests, a vaccination, tuxedo and customized mask under his belt, Canadian Oscar nominee Ben Proudfoot is set to attend Sunday's pandemic-tailored Academy Awards.The Halifax-raised producer and filmmaker is nominated alongside composer and co-director Kris Bowers for the documentary short "A Concerto Is a Conversation."He says the nominees are following a "very strict protocol" to attend the ceremony at the Union Station railway hub in Los Angeles.The show will be held primarily at that venue but some elements will unfold at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. International winners who can't attend will appear by satellite link from their location.Proudfoot, who is 30, already lives in Los Angeles and, therefore, doesn't have to quarantine to attend the show, which airs on ABC and CTV."It's a sign of hope," he said of the Oscars deciding on a physical bash instead of an all-virtual one."I think three, four months ago it may not have been possible — even six weeks ago. In Los Angeles now, there's open enrollment for most people for vaccines. So I think it's the first inkling of things getting back to normal. Hopefully it's a great and safe evening. I'm sure it will be."---ICYMI ...A Canadian on the team that just landed a probe on Mars and directed the first flight on the Red Planet says she's having the time of her life. Farah Alibay, who grew up in Quebec, is one of the scientists working NASA's Perseverance Mars probe, which last weekend launched Ingenuity, a remote-controlled helicopter.Nobody knew if the flight would work in Mar's thin atmosphere, which is one per cent of Earth's.But Ingenuity stayed aloft for 30 seconds and achieved an altitude of three metres.Alibay, who was in the control room when the successful flight was confirmed, says the moment was truly exciting and a lot of fun.She says scientists around the world are now going to be asking themselves how they can use flying drones to learn even more about Earth's closest neighbour.Alibay, who's 33, admits she's wondering how anything will be able to top the thrill of working on Perseverance. ---This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 21, 2021.

Dublin, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Feed Binder Market - Forecasts from 2021 to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The feed binders market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.57% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$3.143 billion in 2026 from US$2.460 billion in 2019.Feed Binders are components that bind, glue, or hold together various discrete food elements to give a steady from to the feed. Feed Binders were initially introduced to bind feed of aquatic animals and are quite crucial for the aquaculture industry as it is an efficient alternative of traditional feed mesh. The feed mesh was directly poured into the water body which led to the loss of nutrients and pollution of water. Feed pelleting is the process through which feed mesh is converted into pellets or capsules, using moisture, heat, and machine pressure. And unlike feed mesh, these pellets are convenient to stock and transport from one place to another. In addition to their accessibility, feed binders are gaining fame as they are easily digested by the animals and help in gaining nutrients. The prime factor driving the demand for this market is the growing demand for quality livestock products. The emerging health-consciousness along with changing trends towards protein-based diets has surged the demand for quality livestock products, which in effect, pressurized the producers to supply healthy livestock. Also, with technological developments, innovative equipment is introduced that produces pellets on farms using the pellet binding techniques.Rising health concerns and protein-based dietsAnother prime reason behind the rise in feed binders is a surge in health concerns and a protein-based diet. With growing disposable income and health consciousness, consumers are paying more attention to their dietary intake. Further, with easily available fitness alternatives and expanding gym culture, consumers are shifting towards a protein-based diet from an initial carbohydrates-rich diet. The feed binders and meat industry are complements. To produce quality, nutrient-rich meat, it is essential to feed the animal quality feed which improves their health and growth. And with the surge in the meat industry, the feed binders industry as well is predicted to grow at a noteworthy ratePoultry Farming is the leading segmentBy livestock, the feed binders market is segregated among poultry, aquaculture, swine, cattle, pets, and others. The feed binders were initially developed to stop pollution and nutrient leaching in aquaculture and soon adapted in other market segments as well. The aqua-culture segment of the market is expected to grow at a significant rate. However, the poultry farm segment of the market is forecasted to grow at an exponential rate, owing to a surge in demand for poultry products. Poultry products are generally preferred to cover the protein requirements in the body. This in turn has boosted the poultry farming market. Further, with growing health and fitness concerns, consumers pay scrutinized attention to the quality of the meat and eggs. This will be obtained by providing the poultry animal nutrients rich food. Broiler's chicken feed, by Purins Meat Bird Feed, contains 22% protein and required amino acids to support growth. The Swine and Cattle segments, as well, are predicted to grow at a noteworthy rate. And with the growing preference for adoption pets, the pet feed binders market is predicted to grow at a significant rate. Pets, particularly dogs, are clinically proven to curb stress and loneliness in human beings. Hence, households are adopting pets for better mental health. This trend has given rise to the demand for feed pellets which provide suitable nutrition to pet animals and build immunity along with growth. Pedigree Dentastix range, for instance, was launched by Mars Incorporated in June 2020. The Pedigree Dentastix Chewy Chunk is claimed by Mars to prevent plaque built-up throughout the day and come in numerous sizesNatural Feed binders have a greater market shareBy source, the feed binders market is segmented as natural and synthetic. Synthetic binders were developed first and initially dominated the markets. However, the synthetic binders had to be imported from other countries and proved to be costly for farmers, especially for small-scale farming firms. Natural feed binders were developed over time and dominate the market. They are expected to increase their market share and grow at a numerical rate in the forecasted period, owing to their natural ingredients and minimum chemical interference. The synthetic feed binders market as well is predicted to grow at a significant rateAsian countries have a huge potentialThe feed binders market has been further regionally classified as the North American market, European market, South American and Caribbean market, Central Asia and Pacific region, and African market. The North American and European market has a significant share in the market and is predicted to grow at a noteworthy rate in the analyzed period. The prime reason behind this irie growth is booming animal husbandry industries, particularly in countries such as China and IndiaCOVID pandemic and feed binders industryThe COVID pandemic is expected to positively affect the feed binders market. The pandemic has raised safety standards and health consciousness along with the importance of fitness and immunity. Further, consumers are becoming more about their dietary intake and pay close attention to nutrients requirements. As a result, demand for quality nutrient food has steamed, forcing the producers to pay good heed towards the origin of the foodKey Developments In August month of 2020, German-based Crespel and Deiters launched two new products in its portfolio. These new brands for pet food and feed application are based on wheat gluten feed binders developed for cattle and swine sectors to be used as milk replacers.February 2020: Ohio-based industrial manufacturer, Timkin Company, is slowly entering in Food and Beverages industry, has shown interest in the feed industry as well. The company is aiming to develop feed production equipment as an area of diversification.In the International Production and Processing Expo held at the end of January 2020, Atlanta, Georgia, Toronto-based Car-Vac Industries introduced its halal pellet binders. These binders don't include pork ingredients and will help in the company's market reach, especially in Muslim community dominating areas. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction1.1.
