Welcome to the page about Feed formulation of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed formulation.
Mr. Ricky Thaper, a key opinion leader with 30 years of experience in India's poultry sector, reflects on the industry's impressive growth. He discusses the challenges of maintaining high-quality soybean meal in poultry feed, highlighting the detrimental effects of cost-cutting measures and emphasizes the need for improved standards and the efforts of poultry associations to ensure soybean meal retains its nutritional value and protein quality for optimal poultry health and growth....

I would happy if you help me out. I am a post graduate student of Animal Nutrition dept., I have assignment that is bordering me, We were asked to use excel to design a feed software for monogastric animals with local feedstufs, the programme must be least cost basis, it must has input point (where the required nutrient can be input) and output point where the result can be read and print (feed formula in kg or percentage)....

In feed formulation, Six Sigma methodology helps achieve high-quality standards by minimizing variability. Applying it to ingredients like maize and soybean meal allows us to control nutrient content precisely, ensuring consistency in feed quality. A bell curve (normal distribution) visually represents the variability in a nutrient (like crude protein, CP) and helps identify a target range that can maximize feed efficiency while minimizing risks of nutrient excess or deficiency. #...

I. INTRODUCTION The meat chicken industry is growing rapidly as a result of an increasing population, relatively low production costs and excellent marketability with regards to affordability, sustainability and minimal religious restrictions. Poultry diets with lower crude protein (CP) have generated global interest from the meat chicken industry due to the benefits concluded by published literature. Low protein (LP) diets have been identified to lower feed costs, improve feed...

Max-profit and stochastic approaches use production, market and nutrient variability data to formulate diets by more economically sustainable means; giving increased flexibility, opportunity and capacity for the Australian poultry industry to cope and thrive under market challenges (Moss et al. 2020; Sterling et al., 2005). However, in order for producers to accurately formulate diets using max-profit and stochastic techniques, it is likely that some data is presently lacking and there may...

Nelson Ruiz (Nelson Ruiz Nutrition LLC) A set of 24 solvent extracted commercial soybean meal (CSBM) samples, which corresponded to the same lots of CSBM used in the field, were evaluated. The CSBM were from different origins (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, U.S.). The objective herein was to evaluate the relationship between KOH protein solubility (KOHPS, a measurement of overprocessing) and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA, a...

I. INTRODUCTION Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) are major components of dietary fibre found in feed ingredients that consist of both soluble and non-soluble polysaccharides. NSPs possess antinutritive properties that can hinder bird performance and alter gut physiology. These antinutritive properties include high gut viscosity, encapsulation of starch and amino acids, sticky droppings, modification of gut physiology, and an overall reduction in bird performance. Feed enzymes...

Tri-butyrin is regarded as an ideal molecule to supply both butyrate and mono-butyrin to the small intestine (SI) to maintain intestinal function, modulate the immune response and improve broiler growth performance (Moquet et al., 2016; Moquet et al., 2018). Valerins have been shown to positively affect the morphology of the SI mucosa and reduce the incidence of necrotic enteritis (Onrust et al., 2018). To date, little information is available as to the extent to which valerin and butyrin in...

In recent years, the egg industry is aiming to prolong the life cycle of laying hens, both for reasons of profitability and for sustainability. However, the goal to produce 500 eggs in a 100-week cycle is hindered by the declining performance of older hens. It is hypothesised that nutritional strategies can be implemented to support the health of these animals, thereby improving laying persistency. The objective of this trial was to investigate the effects of two sources of butyrate...

I. INTRODUCTION Soybean meal (SBM) is the most important plant protein source in broiler diets. Although most of the proteins in SBM are highly digestible, some proteins including glycinin, protease inhibitors, and antigenic proteins are indigestible and can cause intestinal damage and impair immune functions resulting in sub-optimal growth performance (Pan et al., 2016). The supplementation of SBM with appropriate commercially available proteases provides a potential strategy to...

An increase in dietary phytate concentration may limit the availability of both phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) as a result of the progressive formation of Ca-phytate complexes along the gastrointestinal tract (Selle et al., 2009). However, inconsistent results were reported regarding the impact of phytate on P and Ca release in the presence of phytase with broilers, presumably due to the differences in phytase characteristics, bird age and feeding duration of P-deficient diets (Angel,...
