A growing population that we have to feed, by 2050 approximately 9 billion inhabitants. Climate change, global warming, atmospheric phenomena (hurricanes, floods, prolonged drought that drastically affect grain harvests). Overfishing in our seas that is decimating and extinct some marine species. ...

Protein quality of the soybean meal is the result of amino acid present in the meal and the portion in the bioavailable form to the animals. While intending to utilize the same for monogastric animals, it has to be properly heat processed so as to minimize the anti nutritional effect and thereby increasing the digestibility of amino acids present in the meal. At the same time as known to everyone, it should not be over processed which will decrease the concentration and digestibility of...

Hi Engormix members, i just wanna know may i deactivate ant-nutrition factor from row soybeans by the domestic fire that we use in the kitchen or acute rays from the sun?. Secondly, may i feed the mixture of grinding row soybeans and corn plus the scientific manufactured food(Pre starter) to piglets of 14 days of age, and what will be the impacts when i do so? Thirdly, what are the effects if feed my pigs the whole soybeans? Fourthly, Please by using layman language can you...

1 - INTRODUCTION Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is an ascomycete fungal pathogen and the main causative agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab disease, on wheat. F. graminearum infects wheat floral tissues at flowering (anthesis), secreting many cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), other proteins and metabolites as well as mycotoxins that contaminate the developing grain, rendering it unsuitable for both human and livestock consumption (McMullen et al.,...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM A principal goal of nutritionists is to provide birds with a balanced diet that maximizes production at the least cost. Meat bird performance is maximized when feeding pelleted diets (Patton et al., 1937; Hussar and Robblee, 1962; Jensen et al., 1962). However, the nutritional value of feed presented to birds in feed pans throughout the house may not align with diet formulation due to mixer uniformity, feed line length, pellet degradation, and subsequent...

I.INTRODUCTION Both overheating and underheating affect the nutritional value and quality of SB (Karr-Lilienthal et al., 2004). Undercooked SB results in an excessive concentration of antinutritional factors, such as TI, decreasing the intestinal activity of pancreatic proteases. In contrast, excessive heat treatment results in a Maillard reaction that reduces nutrient digestibility (Araba and Dale, 1990). Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the contributions of...

Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi of Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species (31). These toxic metabolites are often found in grains and a substantial percentage of animal feed (18). The most common mycotoxins harmful to animal health are aflatoxin B1 (AFL B1), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins B1 and B2 (FB1 and FB2), ochratoxin (OTA) and T-2 toxin (T-2) (6). Different mycotoxins induce different effects on animal...

Introduction Wheat grains are important staple foods consumed worldwide. They are used as animal feeds, ingredients in food processing, or in the brewing industries (Giraldo et al. 2019). However, pre-and post-harvest colonisation by mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins can occur depending on pre-harvest weather conditions and whether effective drying regimes have been applied for safe storage (Aldred and Magan 2004). Fusarium graminearum is predominantly responsible for...
