1. Introduction Oats (Avena sativa L.) have become an increasingly important cereal crop due to their health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases (Thies et al., 2014), and their growing incorporation into human diets (Rasane et al., 2015). For example, corresponding with increased oat consumption trends, oat production in the United Kingdom reached 986 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing a 19 % increase compared to the previous year (DEFRA, 2024)....

1. Introduction Hunger is a pervasive problem in emerging economies, undermining people’s health, productivity, and often their very survival [1]. According to the report in “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2024” by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an estimated 713 to 757 million people of the 8.3 billion people in the world, or 8.9 to 9.4%, were suffering from chronic undernourishment as of 2023. The majority of these...

INTRODUCTION In the tropics, grasses are the main source of food for livestock; however, during the drought season, growth and quality of forages is low, affecting animals productivity. Therefore to evaluate alternatives for forage replacement during that period, turns necessary. Sugarcane is a crop produced in more than 100 countries worldwide, and its biomass production exceeds that of any other forage, making it a good animal feed strategy for sustainable agricultural...

Introduction Barley is one of the main cereals produced in Norway and is used in broiler feed in low amounts due to high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (Bedford 1995; Knudsen 2014; Svihus and Gullord 2002) and lower energy value compared to maize, wheat or sorghum (Choct and Annison 1990; Khalil et al. 2020). The NSP fractions comprising soluble βglucans and arabinoxylans have gel-forming characteristics and are known to increase intestinal viscosity (Choct 2006),...

1. Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most significant wheat diseases and is responsible for causing some of the most severe losses in wheat production [1]. According to existing data released by the FAO [2,3], approximately 25% of harvested grain, including wheat, is contaminated with toxins. The global grain yield in 2018 was 2250 million tons; of this, 800 million tons was wheat, and similar yields have been seen since then, with increasing tendency. Of this...

1. Introduction Global meat protein consumption is expected to increase by 14% by 2030 compared to the 2018–2020 baseline average, with pigmeat accounting for 33% of this growth and total consumption projected to reach 127 million metric tonnes [1]. Given the rising demand, optimising animal performance and feed conversion efficiency is essential for ensuring both economic sustainability and productivity in commercial pig production. During suckling, sow colostrum...

When a Laboratory Result Changes Everything The laboratory report arrives late in the morning. The batch complies with all nutritional specifications… except one. A trace of a coccidiostat is detected in a premix intended for a non-target species. The level is very low, only a few milligrams per tonne. And yet, doubt immediately arises: where did it come from? The previous product? Residual material in the circuit? A fraction of dust trapped in a filter? Nothing...

@Luis Fernando Vergamini Luna If you truly know the nutrient matrix values of your ingredients, then “quality” is automatically factored into formulation and does not affect decisions on nutrient density. Economic decision to use lower nutrient dense ingredients sometimes places a limit on ever-lower F:G and we have to accept a higher numeric value. All about economics rather than chasing the Guinness Book of records. It’s when you are unsure of nutrient profile of ingredients...
