1. Introduction Hunger is a pervasive problem in emerging economies, undermining people’s health, productivity, and often their very survival [1]. According to the report in “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2024” by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an estimated 713 to 757 million people of the 8.3 billion people in the world, or 8.9 to 9.4%, were suffering from chronic undernourishment as of 2023. The majority of these...

Introduction Barley is one of the main cereals produced in Norway and is used in broiler feed in low amounts due to high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (Bedford 1995; Knudsen 2014; Svihus and Gullord 2002) and lower energy value compared to maize, wheat or sorghum (Choct and Annison 1990; Khalil et al. 2020). The NSP fractions comprising soluble βglucans and arabinoxylans have gel-forming characteristics and are known to increase intestinal viscosity (Choct 2006),...

When a Laboratory Result Changes Everything The laboratory report arrives late in the morning. The batch complies with all nutritional specifications… except one. A trace of a coccidiostat is detected in a premix intended for a non-target species. The level is very low, only a few milligrams per tonne. And yet, doubt immediately arises: where did it come from? The previous product? Residual material in the circuit? A fraction of dust trapped in a filter? Nothing...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the emergence of new products for human and animal consumption has intensified, which could be produced exclusively through the extrusion process. In particular, those produced with high levels of protein, derived from pulses, known as plant based. Several products of this type now available in supermarkets imitate pieces of meat, whether analogous to steaks or fillets, whether chicken, beef, fish, or even imitating seafood. The upper layer of fish...

Extreme rains in northwest Iowa have caused instances of stored grain being covered with floodwater. According to current Food and Drug Administration policy, grain inundated by uncontrolled river or stream water is considered adulterated and must be destroyed. The current situation is one of river water flooding rather than of rain-driven pooled water in low ground, for which there are salvage options. River-based floodwaters can bring in many hazards and rapid spoilage. Flooding...

In the world of animal feed manufacturing, some parameters shout: protein levels, energy values, additive profiles. Others whisper, quietly shaping performance from behind the scenes. Particle size is one of those silent drivers. And yet, for monogastric species like pigs and poultry, it can be the difference between optimal feed conversion and costly inefficiencies. I’ve spent over three decades in feed process technology, and if there’s one...

1. Introduction Influenza A virus (IAV) is an enveloped RNA virus, a member of the Orthomyxoviri dae family, and is known to infect humans, mammals, and birds [1]. The virus is subtyped based on the antigenic cross-reactivity and sequence identity of two surface glycoproteins, namely, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) [2]. Excluding the recently identified H17N10 and H18N11 in bats, 16 HA and 9NAIAV subtypes have been identified in mammals and birds to date...

I. INTRODUCTION Whole grain feeding (WGF) involves the partial substitution of ground grain with whole grain in boiler diets. Whole grain (WG), usually wheat, may be added either prior to (prepellet) or following (post-pellet) steam-pelleting. WGF generates heavier and presumably more functional gizzards, which are thought to be the genesis of responses in feed conversion ratios (FCR) and energy utilisation (Liu et al., 2015). However, post-pellet WGF also provides broilers with the...

Measures to improve bird performance have been sought due to the imminent phase out of in-feed antibiotics in poultry and continued demand for higher poultry feeding efficiency. Promotion of gizzard development by physical structure of feed ingredients or addition of dietary fibre is one such strategy with the hypothesis that larger ingredient particles and higher fibre enhance digestive enzyme secretion and feed efficiency in broilers (Kheravii et al., 2017; and Svihus, 2011). This study...
