1. Introduction Food safety is one of the most urgent global challenges in current times [1]. Since the world population will multiply in the next decades, the demand for resources will increase significantly, and we will need more quantity and higher quality of feed and food [2]. Additionally, the world will have to face the consequences of climate change that will affect the functioning of ecosystems, which directly and indirectly involve human and animal health as well as the...

Tropical and subtropical regions across South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa contribute a major share of worlds maize, sorghum, groundnuts, cottonseed and other important feed ingredients. However, these regions also face a major challenge- climatic condition that strongly encourage fungal growth and mycotoxin contamination. High temperatures, heavy humidity and regular rainfall create an ideal environment where several toxin producing fungi can grow...

When a Laboratory Result Changes Everything The laboratory report arrives late in the morning. The batch complies with all nutritional specifications… except one. A trace of a coccidiostat is detected in a premix intended for a non-target species. The level is very low, only a few milligrams per tonne. And yet, doubt immediately arises: where did it come from? The previous product? Residual material in the circuit? A fraction of dust trapped in a filter? Nothing...

Extreme rains in northwest Iowa have caused instances of stored grain being covered with floodwater. According to current Food and Drug Administration policy, grain inundated by uncontrolled river or stream water is considered adulterated and must be destroyed. The current situation is one of river water flooding rather than of rain-driven pooled water in low ground, for which there are salvage options. River-based floodwaters can bring in many hazards and rapid spoilage. Flooding...

Introduction Animal production relies on the supply of nutritious feeds supporting high growth, welfare and health of animals and the production of high-quality products in an environmentally sustainable and profitable manner. With feed cost representing 50 to 80% of the total production cost, feed manufacturers have a very important role in the overall economic viability of animal agriculture enterprises. Animal production involves a complex “nutritional supply...

1. Introduction The term ‘Aflatoxins’ (AFT) typically refers to the sum of variants AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, while ‘Fumonisins’ (FBs) refers to the sum of variants FB1 and FB2 [1]. These groups are mycotoxins produced by molds of genera Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp., which commonly colonize corn [2–4]. The contamination of corn by AFT or FBs (especially the main variant FB1) has health implications for consumers of corn-derived products. The AFT are...

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...
