Agricultural production and the feed industry continue to suffer from losses caused by contamination with pathogenic bacteria and the associated consequences in livestock, such as reduced weight gain and increased mortality. Under such conditions, acidifiers consisting of organic acids or their salts offer a promising strategy to maintain feed quality and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria inside the animal. The use of acidifiers has long been applied to both feed and food, where they...

The objectives of feed supplementation are to manufacture medicated feeds whose concentration in active ingredients fulfils with two criteria: conformity and homogeneity. Conformity is defined as consistency between active ingredient theoretical and actual mean concentrations in feed. Conformity can be impacted by degradation of the active ingredient during feed manufacture or during storage. Homogeneity is defined as the acceptable range in...

The regulation applies to primary production and puts the spotlight clearly on grain storage since grain is an important potential source of contamination in the food chain with the risk of exposure of consumers to the contaminants. The Regulation says that cereals operators must control hazards (mites, moulds, mycotoxins, …) with the potential...

Nutrient Behavior and Composition of Damaged Canola Seed
It is the protein and oil content of whole canola seed that gives it value. Analysis shows protein content is less affected by frost or weathering in the whole seed but oil content varies more. The oil of oilseeds such as canola, like the starch of cereal grains, is the last major component to develop in the maturing process. Canola seed damaged by frost is prevented from...

Across the Midwest, ethanol plants (primarily dry mill vs. wet mill process) are being planned and built and existing plants expanded. Today over 98 percent of commercially produced ethanol is used to extend gasoline. The attributes of ethanol allow it to be utilized as an octane booster, replacing gasoline additives such as lead and benzene, and as the preferred oxygenate for gasoline replacing MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether). Ethanol maintains widespread support for its ability to...

The European Union is preparing plans to allow pig remains to be used to feed poultry. The practice - banned in Europe after the BSE crisis 10 years ago - would save farmers millions of pounds as prices of cereal feed for chickens soar, say officials in Brussels. But the proposal has outraged animal rights campaigners, Muslim organisations and other groups. They claim the move would put families at risk, offend religious sensibilities and lead to a major consumer...

Cattle use feed most efficiently when the nutrients in the daily rations match their daily requirements, commonly referred to as a “balanced ration.” Producers can’t simply “eyeball” feed value, but they sometimes use traditional or “book values” to estimate feed quality against their cows’ nutritional needs. While these guides can be useful, the quality of individual feed supplies can vary widely from the average. Not knowing the exact nutritional value of feeds can lead to...
