Additive decreases the energy costs of feed production

As energy costs continue to rise, researchers at Tecaliman, the Nantes, France-based feed technical center, have been experimenting with an acidifying additive that has potential to decrease feed mill energy bills. This method allows feed plants to lower its heat treatment temperature while improving its enterobacteria-fighting efficiency.

Improved animal performance starts with proper preservation of feed byproducts

Historically, the use of chemicals (acids and their salts) in feed conservation is a tried-and-true method used to protect stored feed and byproducts from bacterial, mold and yeast contamination. This article provides research to support how the use of propionic acid and sodium benzoate preservative products can reduce the risk of feed contamination and improve profits.

Biotransformation: A new era in counteracting trichothecenes in animal feed

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring, toxic compounds, produced by fungi that infects agricultural crops, particularly cereals and oilseeds. Infection can occur during the growth and storage of crops, but also later on in processed foods and feeds.

How to manage feed mill safety when mixing nano-sized powders

Much of the work in the feed industry focuses around the mixture of ingredients - many of which are powders. Each powder has different physical properties, such as particle size, that pose unique challenges. A compromise needs to be found between plant productivity, cost, the homogeneity of the mix with feed, environmental and worker safety.

Adisseo Selisseo additive receives market authorization for animal nutrition use

Adisseo's Selisseo, a nutritional supplement based on Tetrahedron's NutraSelen compound, has received market authorization from the European Commission for use in animal nutrition for all species. Selisseo is the first proprietary organoselenium-based product to be granted a market authorization in Europe for use in animal nutrition.

Two common mistakes in animal feed additives research

Feed additives are a multi-billion international business, part of the greater animal nutrition industry. Each year, millions are spent of research, yet very few data are being published in credible scientific journals.

Feeding poultry, pigs wheat as an energy source

Wheat, like many other cereals, can vary widely in chemical composition because it is highly affected by cereal cultivar, soil type, environmental conditions and fertilization. However, most wheat used in feeds has 10 to 15 percent crude protein.

Vi-COR Aviator feed ingredient

The Vi-COR Aviator feed ingredient maximizes the benefits of natural carbohydrate chemistry to enhance poultry immunity. The biochemical compound promotes growth, enhances feed efficiency and improves nutrient digestibility.

InVivo Animal Nutrition inaugurates Indonesia feed mill

France-based InVivo Animal Nutrition & Health, a global producer of compound feed, premixes and feed additives, as well as a provider of lab analysis services, inaugurated its newest feed mill in Indonesia on June 20. The $15-million, 125,000-metric-ton feed mill is the group's fifth to open in the first half of 2013, according to the company, joining two compound feed plants in Brazil, one pet food plant in Mexico and one compound feed plant in Vietnam.

Shrimp industry makes advancements in battle against Early Mortality Syndrome

Last month researchers at the University of Arizona had breakthrough in the mystery of the Early Mortality Syndrome, a disease which has resulted in massive losses in shrimp farming. A specific blend of 1-monoglycerides has been developed to fight both the viral and bacterial causative agents. Recently, the team successfully produced the first EMS-free cycle on an EMS-infected farms.

Growers must stay on top of mycotoxin risks

While conditions so far this season have not had a big impact on mycotoxin risk scores because the two biggest factors are rainfall during flowering and rainfall at harvest, the late season may affect T3 applications and growers should remain on top of potential risks, according to Dr. Simon Oxley, senior research and knowledge transfer manager with the Home Grown Cereals Authority in the UK.
