Welcome to the page about Feed additives of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed additives.
The aim of the study was to address the following questions: (1) Can supplementation of pregnant sows with Actisaf Sc 47 improve the transmission of passive immunity via colostrum? (2) Can supplementation of these sows and their piglets in the early stage of life increase the growth rate? (3) Can supplementation of weaned piglets help the struggle against post-weaning diarrhoea caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli? To achieve our aims, we performed two...

When supplementing animal feeds with enzymes, checking that the right amount has been added is always the critical question. Incorrect application of phytase can have dramatic consequences on animal performances and thus on economic return. Feed millers have to deal with this risk. Incorrect dosage of phytase can be due to inaccuracies associated with the equipment in the premix or feed mill or can be due to human error. Laboratory analysis of phytase in complete...

The EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and their Mixtures (FEFANA) has launched a new consortium: HYFAC EEIG . It will be focusing on a new range of feed additives which favourably affect the hygiene of the feed chain by acting on the feed. The aim of this new consortium is to secure, through coordinated applications dossiers, the authorisation on the EU market of an important range of new products able to contribute to the reduction of...

Health, stress resistance and vitality of sows and piglets are directly related to the quality of the food. Since an increase in feed intake in pigs is hardly possible (unlike cattle) the demands on food quality have increased more and more. Therefore, the maximum amount of energy should be put in a food ration. Especially autonomously produced forage has often proved to possess a higher energy density than purchased feed mixes. What you...

1. KOFA® GRAIN – pH 5 – Preservation of kernel corn The preservation method used for kernel corn is identical with the one used for other grains. Kernel corn should be harvested at the end of the ripening period, when you can easily place slits into the kernel with a finger nail. If the kernels should dry out too much, the skin surrounding the kernel will create problems with the application of...

Almost one-third of the world fish harvest is not used for direct human consumption, but is converted into fish meal or fish oil for further application in animal feed. Therefore, about 25 million tonnes of fish are annually handled and processed in ways other than fresh, frozen, smoked or canned which are eaten (Balios, 2003). The supply of huge volumes of high quality fish meal is necessary to supply the rapid growing...

Global agriculture is heading towards challenging times, since the world's population continues to grow at an ever increasing rate. Thus, consumers' demand for sufficient supply of high-quality safe food is a main goal. Decreasing acceptance of antibiotic drugs in many parts of the world and the concomitant debates about residues and contaminations in animal products are driving factors in the search for new and sustainable concepts. On the other hand, producers cope with...

ABSTRACT A technique was developed to produce crude microbial phytase (CMPhy) enzyme form Aspergillus niger , with the objective to enhance phytate phosphorus (pP) availability in corn and soybean meal based broiler diets. The results of in vitro experiments showed that CMPhy enzyme was most active at pH 2.0 and 5.0, as it results in the release of about 79.0% to 88.0% inorganic phosphorus (iP) as a percentage of total phosphorus (tP) from ground corn and soybean meal....
