Aquafeed Horizons 2014 conference returns to Bangkok

Aquafeed Horizons returns to Bangkok in 2014 as part of FIAAP Asia/VICTAM Asia 2014. Aquafeed Horizons allows aquafeed producers from the region and beyond to learn about the latest innovations in aquafeed production technology and feed formulation.

Feed conference calls for paper submission

Papers are now being accepted for FIAAP Asia. The fifth in a series conferences focusing on the ingredients and additives used in animal feed, pet food and aquafeed, FIAAP Asia will be held April 9, 2014 at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center in Thailand.

Feed Ingredients

Phytase, trace mineral premixes in broiler diets

Trace mineral premixes have not escaped scrutiny in periodic poultry nutrition program reviews.

International Feed Industry Federation publishes global ingredient management report

The International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) has published the "Comparison of Regulatory Management of Authorized Ingredients, Approval Processes, and Risk-Assessment Procedures for Feed Ingredients" report that covers Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, Japan, South Africa and the U.S. The study was drafted based on input by government feed regulators and feed and feed ingredients associations in the seven regions covered, and was reviewed with global feed regulators at the recent 6th International Feed Regulators Meeting in Sun City, South Africa.

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.
