As the ethanol industry continues to grow each year, many swine producers are turning to the alternative fuel source for transportation as well as for their livestock. Some 3.2 million metric tons of distillers dried grains (DDGS) are currently used in the animal feed industry to create a high-energy, high-protein feed ingredient that has been found to have three times the level of non-starch nutrients than original corn. According to Dr. Chad Hastad of Swine Nutrition Services...

The issue of shipping wheat from Western Australian to the Eastern States is still there, but with wheat prices softening, it’s becoming less attractive.
So is the viability of importing grain from overseas.
A rough import parity figure of $310/tonne delivered Melbourne, or around $330/tonne upcountry to end-users is being quoted.
This means imports may not be viable at current prices, after the wheat price correction this month.
Australian wheat prices for November delivery...

A research scientist with the University of Alberta is cautioning against the over inclusion of the by-products of ethanol production in swine rations.
A heightened demand for ethanol based fuel, particularly in the US, has increased the volumes of corn dried distillers grain available for feeding livestock.
University of Alberta feed industry research chair Dr. Ruurd Zijlstra notes, the cost of dried distillers grains have dropped to the point where they are now cost competitive for...

Introduction Animal nutrition in the European Union (EU) has been affected by several crises, such as the mad cow scandal (BSE), meat hormone residues, dioxin contamination, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and the concern about the use of antibiotics as performance enhancers. Since the 1970s, animal production in EU has been under legal regulations aimed to enhance its safety and efficacy. However, during the last six years, issues such as BSE and others have put...

While the rest of the world rejoiced in millennium–induced fervor, the feed industry took a more serious view of the challenges that lay ahead. This industry—specifically the livestock production and feed milling sectors— has been battered by successive food scares. Consequently, consumers have lost confidence in the animal food industry’s ability to provide products that are free of contaminants, pathogenic microorganisms, residues, toxins, and other harmful compounds. Even in countries...

Each year, drought is one of the most significant issues affecting agricultural productivity worldwide, and it’s estimated that in any given year, one-third of U.S. corn acres will probably experience yield-reducing drought stress. These odds, combined with expanding corn acres into more arid climates and costly water resources, make the need for corn plants that can withstand drought conditions critical. That’s why Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., is focused on developing hybrids that use...
