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...

1. Introduction The gastrointestinal tract is a dynamic and complex environment that requires a correlation between the gut microbiota and the host for good functionality [1–3]. The composition of the gut microbiota changes throughout the life of the animal or due to various factors like the environment, behavior, and diets [4]. Studies indicate a strong correlation between intestinal diseases and the constitution of the microbiota [1,2]. A healthy gut is an essential...

This article explores the alarming link between swine manure management practices — specifically pit/lagoon agitation and emptying — and the occurrence of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) outbreaks.
The study, conducted between July 2019 and June 2020 and collecting data from 150 affected sow farms, demonstrates a definitive temporal relationship between these practices and the probability of reporting a PRRS outbreak. Authors Carles Vilalta,...

Respiratory diseases hurt swine operations on both the input and output side of the equation: feed costs rise as performance plummets. New research suggests that by using soybean meal, you can mitigate these challenges as a cost-effective tool for maintaining pig health and performance during outbreaks. Respiratory Diseases Present Challenges When pigs are infected with respiratory diseases such as swine respiratory disease (SRD) and porcine...

Growth of the modern broiler is very adaptable to a vast range of diet nutrient densities, and so formulation matrices are greatly impacted by prevailing economic situations. The broiler still eats quite precisely to its energy needs and alters its feed intake in response to variable diet energy level. For example, 25-35d broilers can be fed diets a low as 2850 kcal/kg or as high as 3500 kcal/kg as seen in some locations, and growth rate is little impacted if the bird can adjust its feed...

1. Introduction Reducing the particle size of cereal grains increases the digestibility of starch and energy by pigs (Huang et al., 2015; Rojas and Stein, 2015; Lee et al., 2024) and it is likely that surface area of grain particles and interactions between particles and digestive enzymes are increased by reducing particle sizes. In contrast to the demonstrated improvement in the digestibility of starch and energy, effects of particle size reduction on digestibility of amino...

This analysis is based on the book chapter "Relevant fungal species and associated mycotoxins in storage," authored by Carla Cervini, Andrea Patriarca, Carol Verheecke-Vaessen, and Angel Medina, published in Mycotoxins , DOI: 10.1163/9789004724969_011.
While pre-harvest contamination receives significant attention, storage is identified as the most critical stage in the food supply chain where fungal growth and mycotoxin accumulation can severely impact food and feed safety....
