Protein quality of the soybean meal is the result of amino acid present in the meal and the portion in the bioavailable form to the animals. While intending to utilize the same for monogastric animals, it has to be properly heat processed so as to minimize the anti nutritional effect and thereby increasing the digestibility of amino acids present in the meal. At the same time as known to everyone, it should not be over processed which will decrease the concentration and digestibility of...

Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi of Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species (31). These toxic metabolites are often found in grains and a substantial percentage of animal feed (18). The most common mycotoxins harmful to animal health are aflatoxin B1 (AFL B1), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins B1 and B2 (FB1 and FB2), ochratoxin (OTA) and T-2 toxin (T-2) (6). Different mycotoxins induce different effects on animal...

Nelson Ruiz (Nelson Ruiz Nutrition LLC) A set of 24 solvent extracted commercial soybean meal (CSBM) samples, which corresponded to the same lots of CSBM used in the field, were evaluated. The CSBM were from different origins (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, U.S.). The objective herein was to evaluate the relationship between KOH protein solubility (KOHPS, a measurement of overprocessing) and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA, a...

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...

1. Introduction Fusarium of the spike is the main disease of cereal plants worldwide. The disease can lead to a significant reduction in yield (up to 30%) and quality in the form of atrophy, weight loss and discoloration. Fusarium also produces mycotoxins, which can adversely affect livestock and human health [1]. Early and rapid detection, monitoring of the development of the disease are the bases for the control of Fusarium and the mycotoxins it produces in seeds. Currently,...

I. INTRODUCTION The quality of poultry feed and litter are important for maintaining and improving poultry production. Poultry feed (raw materials and formulated diet) is highly variable and large safety margins are needed to buffer the nutritional variability in feed ingredients when formulating diets (Moss et al., 2021). Feed ingredients delivered to feed mills are not comprehensively analysed using current methods (i.e., wet-chemistry and NIR). This is because the large quantities...

I. Introduction Immediately after birth, or hatch in birds, the initial inoculum shapes the gut microbiota for life. The first bacteria to settle in the intestine can attach to epithelial cells with no competition, rapidly establish, grow, and set the intestinal environment to suit their own needs (Stecher and Hardt, 2011; Edwards, 2017). The first bacterial settlers have the most substantial influence on developing the host's immune system and overall ability to thrive (Stecher...

INTRODUCTION Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the major economically important fungal diseases in wheat, barley, corn, and other small grains worldwide. Wheat yield losses of up to 50% have been reported in North America due to FHB (McMullen et al., 1997; Goswami and Kistler, 2005). One of the major concerns of FHB is the contamination of infected grains with Fusarium mycotoxins. Fusarium mycotoxins represent the largest group of mycotoxins, which contains more than 140 known...

1. Introduction One of the important tasks facing the Russian agro-industrial complex is to increase the digestibility of grain components of feed, increase the content of nutrients in feed. In addition, feed accounts for the largest share in the structure of costs for the production of livestock products. One of the promising directions for the intensification of technological processes is the change in the physical and chemical properties of feed products when exposed to them...

Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various fungi in a variety of commodities and foods. These compounds are not directly involved in the basic functioning of fungi, but some appear to play a “chemical offense” role and increase the susceptibility of the host organism to further fungal infection 1 . As suggested by their name, mycotoxins can cause toxic effects when consumed. The potential harmful effects of mycotoxins vary and a...

I. Introduction Increasing ethanol production from cereal grains generates huge quantities of dried distillers’ grain with solubles (DDGS). As corn DDGS is rich in protein and energy it was commonly used for ruminants. In recent years, the high cost and supply shortage of common feed ingredients have prompted poultry producers to adopt DDGS in formulations. DDGS is known for its variation. During the past 10 years, we’ve seen evolutions in the ethanol industry and new...
