Feed additives
Welcome to the page about Feed additives of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed additives.
The production of mixed feed using home-grown cereals always becomes a topic for livestock owners when the grain prices are very low, for example directly after harvest time or the costs for mixed feed have increased. This unfortunately sometimes coincides with low prices for pigs. But these aspects alone should not be the basis for considering investing in one’s own milling and mixing system. Saving costs and feeding high-quality feed on your farm are always essential prerequisites for...

Dietary life of the Japanese people has changed enormously over the past 50 post-war years. The protein/fat/carbohydrate (PFC) calorie supply ratio in Japan, as of 1995, is 13.6:29.5:56.9 (FNRA, 1997). This is a rather desirable figure compared to those of Western countries. The average life expectancy in Japan is 76.4 years for men and 82.8 years for women (MHW, 1995), which makes Japan the nation with the longest life expectancy in the world. The Japanese have also improved in...

Virtually all chemical reactions in biological systems are catalyzed by macromolecules called enzymes. Chemical reactions in vivo rarely proceed at perceptible rates in the absence of enzymes while reaction rates increase as much as a million times when enzymes are present. These proteins are among the most remarkable biomolecules known. The name ‘enzyme’, meaning ‘in yeast’, was not used until 1877; however much earlier it was suspected that biological catalysts were involved in the...

Animal feed manufacture is a significant industry within the European Union as Table 1 demonstrates. Food safety has been an emotive subject within parts of the European Union, with the media keen to pounce upon any opportunities to publicise adverse occurrences. This has led to newspaper headlines such as ‘3 million eggs a day may contain toxic drug trace’ (Daily Mail, April 2004) or terms such as‘Frankenstein Foods’. To some extent the industry has not helped itself by the...

The word protein is derived from the Greek proteios, meaning primary or foremost. This is fitting in that proteins, being the molecular instruments through which genetic information is expressed (one gene – one enzyme), are central to the life process. There is a huge diversity of proteins. The key to the structure of different proteins is the group of relatively simple building block molecules, the amino acids. It is indeed remarkable that the cell can join what is a relatively small...

Toward the end of last century a major lifestyle trend emerged in the developing nations emphasizing wellness and disease prevention in the human population rather than treatment therapies. This focus is expected to strengthen, rather than diminish, as the relatively affluent and well-educated ‘baby boomers’ of the 1950s and 1960s progressively reach middle age and begin to contemplate their retirement years. It has been calculated that in the US...

Global agricultural is in turmoil. World trade barriers are coming down. The EU Common Agricultural Policy and the US supports may become a thing of the past, opening up markets and leveling the playing field. BSE cases in Canada and the US have thrown these industries into a quandary, while southeast Asia is reeling from the impact of avian flu. Natural feed technologies such as those offered by Alltech have never been more in favor. Increasing acceptance of natural feeding...

Recent trends and developments in the area of animal nutrition have been characterized by an increasing interest in the potential impact of plants, herbs and spices on the immune function of animals (Table 1). The prohibited use of antibiotic growth enhancers since the beginning of the year 2006 necessitates to consider alternatives...

Increasing interest of the government in the health conditions of animals due to the outbreak of bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease has boosted demand for high-quality ingredients in animal feed. This demand is driving the growth of the animal feed additives industry. Legislations such as the ban on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the European Union compel the industry to discover alternative feed ingredients, especially with pork producers increasingly demanding substitutes for...

More than 40 nutritionists, distillers, feed mill managers, journalists, and production managers gathered at Alltech on October 23 and 24 to discuss the ever-increasing role that dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) will play in animal agriculture. Between current technology limitations and President George W. Bush’s “30 in 30” mandate, which challenges the United States to provide 30% of its fuels through biofuels by 2030, grains to feed our animals will be in higher demand.
But...
