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...

1. Introduction Maize (Zea mays L.) is a monoecious plant of the Poaceae family, and it is cultivated worldwide. Two phases can be distinguished during its growth—vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative phase begins with the growth of the plant and culminates with the appearance of the male flower. The reproductive phase begins with the emergence of the female flower, and the physiological maturity of the cob takes place in this stage [1]. Maize is one of the most...

The experience of the past 25 years indicates that it is possible to maintain present food consumption levels by increasing overall food supplies in quantitative terms. However, in terms of providing food of the right quality which is nutritious and free from environmental contaminants, the task ahead is challenging, particularly in highly populated parts of the world. Among food contaminants, mycotoxins will have greater consequences in terms of both human and animal health as well as...

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is nowadays a common tool to analyze the nutritional content of feedstuffs. Corn hybrids and drying temperatures could affect the nutritional value of the grain. It is important to determine if these factors are detected by NIR. Two corn hybrids (Dekalb 68-05 and Dekalb 65-20) varying in kernel hardness (average and hard respectively) were dried at three temperatures (35, 80, and 120°C) to investigate the effects on its nutritional content....

INTRODUCTION Since World War II, food insecurity has been an issue concerning the world’s poorest, with the received wisdom being that such insecurity could be alleviated by eliminating local poverty (McLaren, 1974) and improving food distribution since, globally, food has historically been produced in excess of world population needs. However, future food and nutritional security has become a major concern for both rich and poor, given the present concurrence of rising...

Introduction According to the projected growth in global human population, by 2050 the world human population will reach 9.1 billion, 34 percent higher than current estimated 6.3 billion (FAO, 2015). Populations in the developing countries are growing so quickly that the arable lands and the available fresh water are unable to sustain their needs. In Egypt, about 95% of the land is desert, where the soil is sandy and most of the available ground-water is too saline to raise and...

A new export batch of U.S. Soy arrives this week in Constanta Port, Romania and will immediately be discharged and distributed by Bunge to their customers, end users from Romania and Bulgaria. This shipment consists of 50,000 metric tons (MT) of U.S. soybean meal, while all the previous vessels delivered to Romania this year were beans used to be crushed at the local Bunge plant. Greece also imported another large vessel containing U.S. soybeans this week, increasing market share in this...

Introduction The total world goat population in 2014 was estimated at 1,008 million and included a total of 570 breeds (FAO, 2014). Goats are distributed across all regions and ecosystems of the world, but arid environments are favored. Meat production is the principal function of goats throughout the developing countries. Generally low level of production in these countries is associated with inefficient feeding and management, inadequate use of the indigenous goat genetic...

INTRODUCTION As far as the profit is concerned to the farmers, the cost of the feed plays an important role. The dairy farmers in Karnataka are having limitations in terms of feedstuffs available in the region. Farmers faced major challenge to formulate the balanced least cost ration for pregnant cattle at the 3rd trimester where they not only need ration for maintenance of body but also for milk production and fetus growth with the available feedstuffs. There are several...

Introduction India has a very large population of livestock both of productive and unproductive animals. Ruminants are mostly fed on low-quality roughages, which are poor in protein, energy, minerals, and vitamin contents. Addition of cereal and leguminous fodder in ruminant diets can improve the utilization of low-quality roughages mainly through the supply of N to rumen microbes. The ruminants can make efficient use of mill by-products, crop residues, and other...

Introduction Choice feeding based on grain has been considered for economic and health reasons in poultry feeding (Forbes and Covasa, 1995; Erener et al., 2006; Amerah and Ravindran, 2008; Gabriel et al., 2008). When whole or ground grains were given to chicks, many handling procedures are eliminated. Acceptable growth rate can be achieved when poultry allowed free access both basal diet and grain cereals such as wheat...

Soybean meal has long been considered an outstanding source of supplemental protein in diets for livestock and poultry. In fact, soybean meal is sometimes referred to as the "gold standard" because other protein sources are often compared to it. Soybean meal is rich in highly digestible protein, and the protein is composed of a superior blend of amino acids, the building blocks of body protein for livestock and poultry. A Brief History of Soybeans Soybean meal, obviously,...

Introduction From the moment the alfalfa is cut until it is delivered to the animal, biological and mechanical processes take place that decrease quantity and nutritional quality of alfalfa. Our goal is to conserve the digestible fiber, protein, and energy in the forage and to maintain protein in a form that can be effectively utilized by the ruminant. The approach is to harvest at the correct stage for the desired quality, to dry hay as fast...
