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...
Dr. Mário Penz (Cargill) talks about how to keep improving nutrition analysis, taking into account digestibility coefficients and ingredient quality, among other factors, during this Engormix interview....
Brett Roosendaal (Nutrition Executive at Epol) shares his insights on quality control methods and indicators of soybean, as well as market prices and inclusion rates, during this Engormix interview....
AMINONIR® Portable enables the reliable determination of energy, nutrients in feed raw materials and feed, as well as amino acids in feed raw materials, on-site and independent of a laboratory. The hand-held device connects with the user’s tablet or cell phone. It only requires mobile signal reception and a handful of feed or raw material without further sample preparation to determine their quality at almost any location within minutes....

Don Giesting (Cargill) talked about the trends found in mycotoxin surveys and samples, during this Swine It interview with host Laura Greiner....
In this episode of Let's Squawk About It, Frank Ivey (Feed2Gain, LLC) talks to Andy Vance (PSA Executive Director) about a type of model used to determine matrix values, and how this model helps understand the impacts of feed changes before they are implemented....
1 INTRODUCTION North America currently imports plant-based feed ingredients, such as soybean meal, from countries that are endemically infected with viruses of economic and pathologic significance to swine including porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), Seneca virus A (SVA), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), classical swine fever virus, pseudorabies virus, foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) and African swine fever virus (ASFV; Blomme et al., 2022;...
Introduction The “traditional” approach to food quality and safety management is based on end-product testing. However, end-product testing provides only very limited information about the safety status of a food. The food safety crisis of the 1990s (Listeria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, dioxins, antibiotics, acrylamide, etc.) highlighted the failure of this traditional approach. If a dangerous organism is found, it means something; but its absence...
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...
