Welcome to the page about Feed formulation of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed formulation.
A breakthrough in our understanding of phytase enzyme mode of action and the associated matrix values in feed formulation has been provided in a recent paper published by Tran et al. in the January 2011 edition of Analytical Biochemistry entitled 'A simple and fast kinetic assay for phytases using phytic acid–protein complex as substrate'. While at first glance the relevance of the title to animal nutritionists may not be immediately...

Introduction Genetic evolution of production animals and the increase of food demand have required high quality and digestibility products for animal feeds use. In Brazil, especially in Paraná State, soybean has been given prominence in relation to other cultures due to sale price rises and the knowledge and adoption of production techniques (GOLDFLUS, 2001). Glycine max (L.) Merril soybean belongs to the legume...

A recent trial conducted in Brazil on pigs aged between 49 and 144 days confirms that including Rovabio ® Max, Adisseo’s multi enzymatic product in a corn-based diet improves the average daily gain, feed conversion and carcass quality of the pigs. Enzyme supplementation is efficient in reducing costs, by lowering nutrient content of the corn-soybean diets without compromising performance. The use of...

Rising costs of raw materials increases the demand for product optimization and yields. Now, the means of accurately controlling the moisture content within a batch flow process has been finally breached within industry. DSL Systems Ltd has teamed up with Intelscan to provide moisture measurement and control as an extra in the AutoPilot4Feed package. Several designs utilising microwave technology as a means to measure moisture are currently under trial with different...

Hi, i live in the Dominican Republic and I am starting to feed bulls in my farm which are 100% locked in one place. I´m planning to feed them with sugar cane and king grass, for the protein I am going to use urea. If you have any suggestions, grains in my country are very expensive for animal use. I need to get a 200kg gain in about 6-8 month. I would like to know if it´s posible to achieve it with what I am using or what else should I use....

ABSTRACT The primary objectives of this research were to measure total and phytic phosphorus (P) in a range of ingredients and to establish prediction model using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). A total of 227 ingredient samples was collected worldwide during one year and most of the sampled ingredients were cereals, cereal byproducts, oilseeds and oilseed meals. All of the samples were analyzed for their total and phytic...

Haylage is prepared out of green forage to preserve it for long time. It is prepared by leaving the green forage cut on the field to dry its moisture level to 55 and baled out to store. In some cases it is packed in air tight packs so that its freshness will be maintained. In order to densify to reduce the volume hydraulic press is used. Such densified bales are packed air tight. There si no advantage of enhancing the nutritive value in such preparations. Therefore, a new feed technology is...

The various ways in which human food is produced are vigorously discussed and questioned in modern societies. We expect food from plants, farm animals and microorganisms to be of good quality, healthy and inexpensive. Furthermore the food industry and politicians are increasingly concerned about environmental matters and keeping energy inputs low. In addition, arguments for food produced as naturally as possible are increasingly heard from organic...

ABSTRACT Nutritive values of major ingredients vary considerably not only among different feedstuff but also the same ingredients of different batches. Rapid screening nutritive value has been a great challenge in the feed industry. This study assessed 4 soybean meal (SBM) samples using both NIRS technique and broiler experiments. In broiler Test 1, 4 SBM samples were assigned the same "book value", so that the four dietary...

With today's increasing emphasis on efficient use of energy and its effect on the environment, feed mill managers must take an objective look at their process systems in order to maximize output against power consumption. The major sources of power consumption are clearly the grinding and pelleting processes. Without any doubt, savings can be made in the pelleting system, but this article will only examine the grinding process. When looking at efficiency, it is important to...

Hi!
I am writing from Turkey. I am an agricultural engineer (animal science). I need some information. We want to pack TMR(total mixed ration) and sale it. But I wonder altough we press and vakuum it, can it be destroyed or be mouldy, should I add somethig as a preservative. It is new for Turkey. So if somebody help me I would be glad. Thank you. ...
