Mycotoxin Management

Mycotoxin management: The importance of a coordinated program for feed mills

A coordinated mycotoxin management program at a feed mill begins with a comprehensive quality assurance program that includes more than merely testing for mycotoxins during the receiving process. The quality assurance program must also have strategies to prevent their introduction into the manufacturing process and minimize mold growth that could produce mycotoxins during grain storage, feed processing and finished feed storage on the farm.

Animal Nutrition

How to deal with feed ingredient variability

The goal of feed formulation is to meet the nutritional needs of the target animal in the most profitable manner possible. This takes into account not only performance, but also optimization of efficiency and in some locations includes environmental nutrient management.
