Available Phosphorus (aP) is the portion of dietary total P that meets the animal's P requirements. This definition isn't tied to a specific P fraction (phytate or nonphytate P). Interestingly, some phytate P (pP) is available to animals, while some nonphytate P (npP) is not, and the availability of both can vary greatly between different feedsIt's a good time to remember this... Available P is no ...

Dear Ben,Have you worked on determining phosphorus digestibility in feed phosphates like MCP (22.7% P), MDCP (21% P), and DCP?Best regards.

Very good points were raised in this discussion and we see that different approaches are possible. Congrats to all of you. I also would like to add some points that I think we need to take into consideration to better use enzymes: 1-we need to know the amount of antinutritional factors and how they affect each specific feed, for example, soluble Arabinoxylans from one raw material can affect the d ...

These attributes make prilled urea the preferred option for livestock• Has typically a uniform size and a smooth surface.• Is often used in animal feed formulations due to its ease of handling.• Dissolves relatively quickly in water, making it readily available as a source of nitrogen for livestock."Our certification is your peace of mind"

Dear all,Great article, congratulations.I want to add a little contribution. If we combine the best encapsulation with the best "urea feed grade" (like Rumisan from Yara), with the best particle size and distribution, the results would be even better.Again, congratulations on the article and also the reply of Marcos.Regards,FAG

Hello Victor,I appreciate your inquiry about slow-release ureas, particularly in the context of NitroShure. Our goal with NitroShure is to achieve a balanced release of nitrogen, strategically positioning it between Soybean Meal (SBM) and urea. This careful calibration is pivotal to ensuring an effective synergy between carbohydrates and nitrogen.The moderate release speed inherent in NitroShure i ...

Lipid encapsulation has proved to be a valuable tool for protecting nutrients from degradation during processing, storage and digestion and making them available for absorption by the animal. Over the last years, many new encapsulated nutrients have entered the market. These products, and the processes that create them, differ greatly in design, technology, and unfortunately, performance.High qual ...
