INTRODUCTION
The first mention of ergot alkaloids is dated 600 BC, referring to a dangerous excrescence found on spikes. In 400 BC some records refer as grass killer that caused abortion. It was observed that the epidemic of ergotism occurred after periods of hunger, where people presumably consume contaminated g.rain crops, containing toxic ergot sclerotia produced in wet springs and hot summers with...

U.S. Soy has a large market in animal feed because of its rich nutritional value and its contribution to animal performance. Although alternatives exist, such as corn protein, and a growing supply of synthetic amino acids, research consistently shows that when compared to these alternatives, soy outperforms.
Dr. Hans H. Stein, a professor of Animal Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, conducts research in the area of intestinal physiology and feed ingredient...

Global demand for seafood is growing at an unprecedented rate. By 2030, an additional 41 million tons of fish per year will be needed to maintain current levels of seafood consumption. Aquaculture is the solution, and soy-based feed is a sustainable and healthful alternative to traditional fish-based aquafeeds.
In particular, grouper has been identified as a desired fish in the live reef food fish trade in Southeast Asia due to their desirable taste, hardiness in captivity, efficient...

Reuters - China’s strong return to the U.S. soybean market in recent months has single-handedly lifted U.S. farm exports to the Asian country to new records, and the heavy forward shipping schedule bodes well for the promises outlined in the Phase 1 trade agreement between the two countries.
That agreement suggests China in 2020 will buy and import at least $36.5 billion worth of American agricultural products, an all-time high. Progress was relatively dismal through mid-year,...

INTRODUCTION The rapid expansion of commercial ethanol production, esp. in the United States, has resulted in a significant increase in the availability of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a co-product of the ethanol production process (De Matteis et al. , 2019). Total annual ethanol and DDGS production in the USA is 15 billion gallons and 44 million metric tons, respectively, making the USA the world’s largest DDGS producer (US Grains Council,...

Introduction There are numerous reasons behind the diffusion of cacti as forage or fodder around the world, such as the simple cultivation practices required to grow the crop, rapid establishment in a new area, easy multiplication practices (18). Also, they have the ability to withstand prolonged drought, high temperatures as well as soils affected by wind and water erosion (16). This aptitude has made the cactus plantations suitable as food supply and they have become strategic...

The 50-year historical review of soybean meal (SBM ) published in Feedstuffs in 1970 by Dr. J.W. Hayward highlighted many of the pertinent advancements concerned with animal nutrition, product development and promotional aspects of U.S. SBM. In fact, 1920 marked not only the beginning of the industrial production of soybean oil and SBM in the U.S., but also the year that the American Soybean Assn. was founded (Hymowitz, 1990). The use of SBM at the time this 50-year review was published was...

1. Introduction At times, sorghum provides, either partially or entirely, the feed grain base in Australian pig and poultry diets but it has been associated with sub-optimal or inconsistent growth performance in broiler chickens (Selle et al., 2010a; Liu et al., 2015a). A beneficial characteristic for including sorghum in broiler diets is as a source of energy, which is mainly derived from starch. However, energy...

Soybean hulls are a by-product of soybean oil processing, accounting for 10% of the total volume and 8% of the total weight of soybean. Soybean hulls are mainly the outer coating material of soybean, the color is beige or light yellow, the main components are cell wall and plant fiber. Molasses bean skin is a special product which is made by spraying concentrated soybean oligosaccharides onto soybean hulls and drying with unique technology. Molasses bean skin contains 30% of soybean...

Introduction In recent times, there has been interest in the utilisation of whole grains to improve bird performance and reduce feed costs. Some previous research on whole grains simply added to a starter diet at graded levels has shown variable results on performance. Some studies have shown improved FCR, lower mortality, plus some carcass improvements and...

07 May 2020, Rome - World food commodity prices declined for the third month in a row during April, as the economic and logistical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant contractions in demand for many commodities.
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks international prices of the most commonly-traded food commodities, averaged 165.5 points in April, some 3.4 percent lower than the previous month and 3 percent lower than April 2019.
The FAO...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are among the microbial toxins of most concern to public health, and they represent a barrier to a wider international trade of agri-food products and an important obstacle in the face of the harmonization of regulatory standards globally, as was discussed earlier [1]. They are produced by various mould species as low-molecular-weight non-immunogenic secondary metabolites whose occurrence has been reported in virtually all foods and feeds...

Introduction Nowadays aquaculture in Egypt supplies ca. 80% of human fish consumption. Egypt occupies the tenth rank all over the world concerning aquaculture production ( FAO, 2016 ). But the Aqua-feeds are shorter than the demands, besides their expensive costs; therefore there is a need to recycle and reuse all possible and available field and industrial by-products that have a nutritional importance for fish ( Koeleman, 2018a & b ). Since fish are the most feed...
