1. Introduction The health of the gastrointestinal tract is one of the important indicators of the overall health of an organism. The health of the intestine is given considerable attention in human nutrition due to the existence of various autoimmune and other diseases. Intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and increased permeability result in a “leaky gut”, which is associated with intestinal disorders in humans, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel...

Introduction: The cross-contamination of non-medicated feed with residues of antimicrobials causes a public and animal health concern associated with the potential for selection and dissemination of resistance in commensal and potentially zoonotic bacteria. To identify the extent of the situation, we built a model that provides a way to estimate the percentage of cross-contaminated pig feed in total and per different levels at which cross-contamination may occur (i.e....

Introduction Feed ingredients and manufacturing are expensive components of integrated poultry production, sometimes reaching 70% of total operational costs. Fortunately, the added costs of manufacturing poultry feed improve feed efficiency and poultry performance. The performance benefits from feeding pelleted diets results in a positive return on investment, making it a common practice in broiler and turkey production. Improving the quality of pellets further enhances poultry...

Introduction On August 28, 2021, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed that African swine fever virus (ASFV) had been diagnosed in the Dominican Republic (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroom/news/sa_by_date/sa-2021/asf-confirm). This poses a tremendous threat to the swine industry of the United States (U.S.) given the proximity to the mainland. When ASFV emerged in China, the virus was able to move rapidly and easily throughout the country due to movement...

Introduction Near record high feed, fuel, and fertilizer prices, and high inflation rates all have put increasing economic burden on beef producers. The increased cost of feeding cattle means that increasing feed efficiency is critical to feedlot production. Historically, feed costs represent about 70% of the total cost of production for feedlot operators and therefore, feed efficiency has 4 x greater economic return when compared to the same improvement in feedlot growth (Gibb and...

Introduction The animal feed manufacturing industry’s main purpose is to recombine different flows of nutrients into safe, nutritious, attractive and handleable feeds which are efficiently converted in animal-sourced food products (meat, eggs, milk). The raw materials harboring these nutrients vary greatly in composition and origin. Raw materials may be co-products sourced more locally from food or biofuel industries whereas others may travel large distances on the globe,...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of corn particle size (CPS) on turkey hen performance, intestinal permeability (IP), and litter dry matter. Hybrid turkey hens were housed in floor pens from 0 to 42d. Hens were fed a crumbled starter 1 (0 to 21d) and pelleted starter 2 (22 to 42d) diet. The experiment was a 2 x 2 factorial with diet phase (starter 1 and starter 2) and CPS (fine or coarse), resulting in 4 treatments of 18 replicates of 22 turkeys. Corn was manufactured...

Introduction: More than 80% of slaughter pigs in England show epithelial changes at the Pars nonglandularis (PN) of the gastric mucosa. In the interest of animal welfare and to avoid prospective cost deductions, alternative pig feeding strategies must be developed. In this study the effects of a 2-stage coarsely ground compound feed (COF) on performance and stomach health of piglets were tested as compared to a conventional 1-stage produced COF. Materials and...

Feed operation counts around 60% to 65% of poultry operation. One needs to produce consistency in quality and quantity throughout 24 hrs, 7/12 and 365 days a year. And that’s the reason various controls in systemic manners on regular basis are required all the time. In the areas of 4 M: - Men management. - Material management. - Machine management. - Money management. Feed mill audit: observation results in fact-finding from A to Z of...

Overview – What Is Extrusion? The word  extrusion  means shaping a material or a blend of materials that can be plasticized (able to be melted and become fluid-like), and is pumpable by forcing through a restricted opening or  die . The versatility of the process is evident in its ability to produce different types of foods. The power of the process can be further appreciated by its ability to create foods of varying textures...

Dust Protection Flour dust is hazardous to workers of a MAIZE MILLING MACHINE. The small particles of flour can enter the lungs of employees and reduce their breathing capacity. According to the National Institutes of Health, maize milling machine workers often cough frequently, experience shortness of breath and suffer from respiratory irritation. Masks and other facial protective equipment reduce these effects, so the maize milling machine owner should purchase this equipment for mill...

Hammermills and Roller Mills for Aquaculture Feeds Hammermills are commonly used for grinding a broad range of materials used in the production of aquaculture feeds. Since most species of fish, crustaceans, and shellfish have a very short digestive tract, they require a finely ground, highly processed feed in order to obtain good feed efficiency. Additionally, most immature and many adult specimens produced in the...
