Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that deals with the creation of intelligent machines. It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including machine learning, natural language processing and robotics. AI is a rapidly growing technology that has the potential to revolutionise farming and transform the agricultural industry. AI allows us to use and analyse vast amounts of data in ways that were previously unimaginable and make predictions that would have been...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are among the most important food safety hazards, based on their presence in agricultural commodities and their potential health impacts (Gruber-Dorninger, Jenkins, & Schatzmayr, 2019; Miraglia, De Santis, & Brera, 2008). A recent study confirms the (earlier) FAO estimate of 25% of mycotoxin occurrence being above European Commission and/or Codex threshold limits, while the prevalence of detectable mycotoxins is up to 60%–80% in all food...

Yeasts are single-celled, facultative anaerobic eukaryotes that are prevalent in various fermented feeds. Yeasts can negatively affect silage quality by metabolizing available nutrients within the feed which leads to dry matter loss and decreased nutritive value, and by producing ethanol which can lead to off flavors in milk when consumed. Yeasts also oxidize lactic acid, which increases silage pH and promotes the growth of organisms such as mycotoxin-producing molds. Although wild yeasts...

The ExPress® process, using equipment and know-how from Insta-Pro International, is unique; but why does this matter? First, it does not involve the use of chemicals, like solvents (such as hexane), to extract essentially all the oil from soybeans making it sustainable and a scalable alternative to hexane. Also,...

Edible oils obtained from oilseeds such as soybeans and canola are used during the frying foods, and as ingredients in the preparation of pastries and condiments. Edible oils can also be used to improve the texture and flavor of food. Before the oil can be processed into a usable form it is first extracted from the oilseed. While Super-critical Fluid...

Despite extensive research presenting both the benefits and detriments of soluble non-starch polysaccharides (sNSP) in poultry diets, its concentration and composition in feed ingredients is not commonly considered during commercial feed formulation. Consequently, a study was conducted in which birds were fed commercial-type diets formulated to Cobb recommendations (barley, corn, sorghum or wheat-based) formulated to contain similar protein levels but differing soluble NSP levels (Low,...

INTRODUCTION Goats are very important to the world’s food security and supply because of their ability to utilize fibrous materials not of immediate nutritional value to people. Feed accounts for about 70% of the cost of the livestock production, approximately one-half of the production cost for ruminants is in feed used for body weight and maintenance requirements. However, one of the most important factors affecting the energy requirement for maintenance (ME m )...

Back in 2013, in the very first blog I published on the Insta-Pro website, I wrote about how extrusion processing, especially high-shear dry extrusion from Insta-Pro, was a reliable way to produce better ingredients and make it easier for animals to extract more dietary energy for productive purposes. Animals need energy to make meat, milk,...

Introduction The processing of food grains into flour, vegetable oil, alcohol and biofuels offloads quantitatively variable, chemically diverse non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) into co-products (Bach Knudsen, 2014). Rapidly increasing human demand and random adverse climate change-related events are disrupting global grain markets, forcing producers into greater dependency on co-products for sustainable, cost-effective pig feeding strategies. Chemical and quantitative...

1. Introduction In Uganda, maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in terms of production, consumption, and income generation. Because of its relevance, maize was one of the food security crops–and the only cereal–selected by the Ministry of Animal Industry and Fisheries of Uganda to implement a 5-year, multi-million USD agricultural intervention as part of the Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP) during 2010–2015 (MAAIF, 2010). The...

“The global animal feed protein ingredients market size is predicted to surpass a valuation of USD 280 billion by 2027, as per a report by Global Market Insights Inc.”
Livestock animals have been a part of the global food supply for the longest time now, making animal feed an increasingly crucial element of the integrated food chain. In recent decades, population growth across developed and developing economies has pushed the demand for alternative food sources...

Introduction Soybean meal (SBM) is the most important and preferred source of quality protein in animal feeds (Banaszkiewicz, 2011). Among the oil seeds, SBM contains the highest crude protein (CP) and has the best AA profile, with only 6% crude fibre (Dei, 2011). The AAs in SBM are highly digestible by poultry (Newkirk, 2010). Based on the CP content, SBM can generally be classified as high protein (47% - 50%), or low protein (44% - 46%). Popescu & Criste (2003) suggested...

Introduction Piglet post-weaning diets are by far the most expensive diets in the swine industry, mainly due to the need to reduce Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) and optimize growth performance by including highly digestible feed ingredients with low content of antinutritive factors. It would therefore be economically advantageous, if some of the expensive protein sources that are generally considered necessary in diets for newly weaned piglets could be substituted with soy bean...

Introduction Feed cost represents 70% of the total cost of poultry and pork production (Patience et al., 2015); therefore, a number of processing techniques have been developed to maximize utilization of nutrients in feed ingredients and diets for optimum animal growth performance. Oilseed meals are commonly exposed to varying degrees of heat to remove solvents used during oil extraction, increase nutrient digestibility, improve storage life, and to reduce anti-nutritional...

INTRODUCTION In desert area of Egypt, the shortage of ruminant feeds especially in summer and early autumn seasons is the main challenge to increase indigenous animal production and improve livestock productivity (Mansour and Al-Zahar, 2018). In arid and semi-arid regions such as South Sinai, animal husbandry, as the main income resource for pastoralists, is mostly based on the natural vegetation for rearing small ruminates (Squires and El Shaer, 2016). Degradation of the...
