1. Introduction Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food security and income-generating crop in various areas of the world. Improvements in yields had been obtained by selection of hybrids, mechanisation, irrigation, use of mineral fertilisers and phytosanitary products, leading to an increase in the world production associated with global trades. Besides this agroeconomic system, farmers produce maize as a subsistence crop using local resources. Even in Europe, groups of organic...

I. INTRODUCTION Exogenous feed enzymes were first introduced as commercially-relevant feed additives in the 1980s with an initial focus on reduction of the antinutritional effects of high molecular weight soluble pentosans in wheat- and barley-based diets for young broiler chickens (Bedford & Partridge, 2010). Exogenous phytase was launched in the early 1990s to increase the digestibility of organic phosphorus and to reduce the antinutritional effects of phytic acid (Selle &...

Cereals are an international commodity grown in almost all cultivable regions of the world. The three most important cereals that are destined for human and animal consumption are maize ( Zea mays ), wheat ( Triticum spp.) and rice ( Oryza sativa ). These crops can be affected by biotic and abiotic factors in all phenological stages, affecting quality and final yield. The Fusarium graminearum species complex is the main causal agent of ear...

1. Introduction Wheat is one of the most important staple foods in the world, but it is jeopardized by many toxigenic fungal species that produce large numbers of mycotoxins with diverse chemical structures. In Hungary, the total wheat production area is approximately one million hectares [1], spanning diverse agronomic and climatic conditions. Major toxigenic fungi. Fusarium species are among the main wheat pathogens in Hungary, posing serious risks to animal and human health...

1. Introduction Soybean expeller (SBE), a by-product obtained during the extruding-expelling process of soybean oil extraction [1], is highly valued as a protein-rich component in animal feed and soy-based food products [2–5]. In Argentina, nearly one million tons of SBE are produced annually [6] in 373 extruding-expelling facilities, primarily located in the Pampa’s region [7]. The average composition of SBE in Argentina is 7.2% moisture, 44.2% protein, and 8.1% residual...

Corn remains the primary energy source in poultry diets. However, not all corn delivers equal nutritional value. Poor grain quality can significantly reduce its Metabolizable Energy (ME) for poultry, affecting both bird performance and production cost. Energy Loss Equation in Poultry Due to Poor-Quality Corn Barbarino and Rostagno (2001) developed an equation to estimate the Metabolizable Energy Lost (MEL) in poultry feed based on corn...

Introduction The great majority of the main oilseed and cereals crops globally are grown to satisfy food demand, including a sizeable indirect component via consumption of meat and other animal products. Since the 2000s the advent of biofuels has added a variable but significant component to this equation. The first biofuels wave in the 2000s had a rocky trajectory due to associated food price spikes in 2011 and the ‘food versus fuel’ controversy. Today, governments...

INTRODUCTION The United States is the largest producer of beef in the world, with over 11 million head of beef cattle in feedlots at any given time (as of May 2020; USDA, 2020). Corn is one of the most important ingredients in feedlot cattle diets because it is in expensive and energy dense. Mechanical processing of corn has been used in the feedlot industry for decades to increase starch digestibility, and, conse quently, improve growth performance and carcass characteristics...
