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...

It is not the Mycotoxins that replicate themselves or form themselves, but the various fungi or Mycelium which produce them. It is the fungi that require the conducive environment to produce mycotoxins and various fungi produce peculiar, or multiple Mycotoxins that range from Aflatoxin to Fuminoxin, DON and Zearalenone, etc. The conducive factors for these fungi must include appropriate substrate like corn, soy, groundnut, wheat, etc on which they require to grow. Water content in the...

Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) have a considerable impact on digestibility in broilers, dictating nutrient availability and energy utilization. The high NSP content of the hulls in canola meal are one factor limiting its effective use in poultry diets. The major NSP present in canola meal include cellulose, pectic polysaccharides and a variety of non-cellulosic polysaccharides, including arabinoxylans (AX). Attempts have been made to increase utilization of canola meal through the use of...

New mega-mill in Fulton will take the place of older feed mills in Hope and Nashville.
Tyson Foods’ new $75 million poultry feed mill in Fulton, AR, was formally dedicated on June 30 with a ribbon-cutting.
According to reports, Complex Manager Randy King explained the new mega-mill will take the place of older feed mills in Hope and Nashville and will allow the company to expand grower operations in the region once a new hatchery is built.

1. Introduction One of the most important requirements for any animal producing farm is the biomass that the farmer uses for feed. As insect farming is a relatively new and currently small but fast growing enterprise, there is little knowledge regarding the optimal nutritional content each farmed species needs for maximal productivity. The concept of ‘feed’ in terms of insects is not very well defined. There are more than 900 different agricultural products...

While the market expected a decrease in planted acres across the United States due to a wet planting season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture surprised the market, slashing soybean acres by 2.7 million acres. Regardless, farmers are still pegged to produce a record U.S. Soy crop, weather permitting.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its June 30 Grain Stocks and Planted Acreage reports that put U.S. Soy acres at 88.3...

Introduction Soyabean meal is the most important source of dietary protein for poultry in South Africa and much of the world. The increased use of vegetable protein meals in animal feeds has been brought about through consumer pressure for more sustainable and welfare oriented animal protein production. The increased use of vegetable protein sources has highlighted the importance of protein quality and the methods used to control quality have increased proportionately....

Introduction Biological rhythms are repeating patterns that are driven by time-keeping mechanisms within the animal and are adaptive as they coordinate physiology and metabolism with the external environment. The dairy cow has a well-recognized natural daily pattern of feed intake and milk synthesis and an annual rhythm of milk composition, but regulation of these rhythms has not been well described in the literature or well considered in current dairy management. We commonly...

Protein is the second most expensive nutrient in animal feed formulation, after energy. Diets which have excess crude protein can overload the gastrointestinal tract with excess amino acids and undigested protein (Apajalahti and Vienola, 2016), resulting in impaired feed efficiency, health and welfare issues as well as negative environmental impacts via excess nitrogen excretion. Reducing dietary protein in poultry diets can help to mitigate some of these negative effects. In poultry diets,...

Introduction Controlling production costs and animal welfare are important factors for breeders. Feed accounts for 50 to 70% of the production cost in poultry production (van Horne, 2018). The feed conversion ratio (FCR), which is the ratio of feed consumption to meat or egg production, is an important criterion for the profitability of these farms. It is also an indicator of the environmental impact of production. For example, the reduction of 10% in FCR results in a reduction...
