Feed formulation

Welcome to the page about Feed formulation of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed formulation.
Preamble Live stock feeding has been progressed today to a conversion efficient technology from the ancient concept of converting non-edibles and low nutrient feed stuffs to good animal products like milk, meat and egg. Often it was noted that the ruminant livestock production is almost entirely dependent on feeds consisting of fodder and crop residues. These feeds are generally of poor quality, usually...

I have a dairy farm, I need to know the feed specification for milking cows, pregnant cows and calves with its feeding management. Does it have any extra benefits using rice screening in milking cows rations? S.M. Ekramul Huque Bangladesh ...

INTRODUCTION Like other animal production systems, aquaculture has developed into a highly globalized trade-dependent industry, therefore as global fish farming continues to increase, the need for formulating nutritionally balanced and cost-effective diets with high-quality protein source is important (Furuya et al., 2010). In fact, nutritional value of protein in the diet for fish is influenced by its amino acids(AA)  compositions,  therefore,  the quality...

Introduction Soybean meal is one of the most readily available and economical protein sources commonly fed to pigs. Due to a number of anti-nutritional factors, its inclusion in newly weaned pig diets has been limited. Thus, specialty animal proteins, such as animal plasma, blood cells, or fish meal have been commonly added as highly digestible amino acid sources in starter diets. In recent years, the cost and variability of specialty animal proteins has increased while...

1. Introduction Siganids (rabbitfishes) are a small family of algaevorous fish that inhabit the tropical and subtropical waters of the Middle East and Indo-Pacific region (Saoud et al., 2007). The marbled spinefoot rabbitfish, Siganus rivulatus, has a promising potential opportunity for aquaculture due to its herbivorous feeding habits and acceptability of artificial diet (Barakat et al., 2011; Abou-Daoud et al., 2014). Accordingly, the farming of siganids could be economically...

Is resistant starch in newly harvested corn bad for broiler feeding? I have heard that waiting at least 3 to 4 weeks will help the resistant starch being broken down, so that the newly harvested corn won't affect broilers as much. Do you completely use newly harvested corn or mix new with old corn? Thanks. ...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid analysis method that enables a multipurpose analyzer to be calibrated to predict nutritional component values after analyzing the reflectance of a feed ingredient in the near-infrared spectrum. The reliability of a NIRS prediction for a nutritional component depends on the accuracy of the determined wet chemistry laboratory values used to make the initial NIRS prediction equation. As reviewed...

1. Introduction Energy intake and digestibility, particularly the energy obtained from starch, is the limiting factor for growth in feedlot beef cattle [1]. Corn is the predominant grain (dry rolled, ground, high moisture or steam flaked) and starch source used in the US, Central and Latin America feedlots [2]. Among the grain processing methods, steam flaking is an effective way to increase starch availability for ruminants. Studies have shown that feeding steam flaked...

Introduction The optimal concentration of nutrients required by growing pigs generally decreases over the growing-finishing period with a phase feeding program used as an attempt to meet the needs of the pigs over the changing requirements. Thus, in commercial production, phase feeding is thought to improve economics and reduce nitrogen excretion by more closely meeting the pig’s nutrient requirements compared to feeding fewer phases. However, in practice, it is...

1. Introduction At times, sorghum provides, either partially or entirely, the feed grain base in Australian pig and poultry diets but it has been associated with sub-optimal or inconsistent growth performance in broiler chickens (Selle et al., 2010a; Liu et al., 2015a). A beneficial characteristic for including sorghum in broiler diets is as a source of energy, which is mainly derived from starch. However, energy...

Soybean hulls are a by-product of soybean oil processing, accounting for 10% of the total volume and 8% of the total weight of soybean. Soybean hulls are mainly the outer coating material of soybean, the color is beige or light yellow, the main components are cell wall and plant fiber. Molasses bean skin is a special product which is made by spraying concentrated soybean oligosaccharides onto soybean hulls and drying with unique technology. Molasses bean skin contains 30% of soybean...

Introduction The transition period into lactation remains one of the most challenging and important phases of the production cycle in a dairy cow. It is a transient period around calving characterised by drastic changes in the hormonal status, 2 to 5-fold (Bradford, 2020) increases in nutrient demand and apportioning of 85% of body glucose to the mammary gland. Simultaneously, the requirement for specific fatty acids escalates by more than four times (Bell, 1995; McFadden and...

Interesting facts The presence of fat in the diet inhibits the synthesis of fat from carbohydrates. The final composition of body fat is a pondered average among the fat produced endogenously from glucose, the quantity and composition of the fatty acids in the diet and the fat resulting from catabolism through b-oxidation (Ajuyah et al., 1991; Ferreira, 1999, Sanz et al., 2000b). Female broiler chickens tend to deposit more fat than male broiler chickens....

Introduction Current broiler growth rate is partly the result of an intense genetic selection; 1 therefore, feeding is important to achieve the maximum productive expression. Success attained until now in this practice has been due to better knowledge of the functions that different nutriments carry out, which in turn allows higher precision when establishing nutrimental needs. 2 To be able to feed...
