I hope the best for this new PSA leaders.

Whilst I was managing a poultry research facility, our standard operating procedure was to formulate diets based on actual ingredient amino acid values and not meet a crude protein minimum. This is typically not practical for day-to-day formulation. However, it should be possible to do periodic amino acid analysis of ingredients to determine the total amino acid protein and non protein nitrogen co ...

Dear Muabecho idrisu , thank you very much for your interest on this topic. You can find more information on www.adisseo.com, where you can also fill a contact form. You can also contact directly my colleague prince.manu-barfo@adisseo.com, area manager for Western and Eastern Africa. Best regards, Marc Perel

Hello!This is a very interesting topic for feed manufacturers, specially for poultry of course but even for some high energy ruminant diets.Indeed, transferring part of the fat addition from the mixer to post-pelleting application logically improves the physical quality of the pellets (PDI, hardness).The other side of the coin will be a reduction of the flow rate of the line and/or an increase in ...

@Dr. Sudheer . It all depends on what is the definition of "good results". Several poultry companies in Colombia, South America, are truly experts in the feed restriction of broilers that are processed at 38-40 days, and their goal for "good results" is the lowest possible FCR independently of the cost per kg of live weight. However, for poultry companies whose goal for "good results" is the lowes ...

@M.C. Fernando R. Feuchter A. Creatine is ONLY found in raw materials of animal origin; so yes, fish meal, meat and bone meal. The problem is variability; our analyses show variations of +/- 100% !! Reliance on creatine supply from such raw materials is therefore a real gamble...better to use a guaranteed source...

Stamping out is not a viable proposition in developing countries, even the USA has permitted HPAI vaccines to be used under the supervision of technical people. It is high time that HPAI is prevented and its spread controlled through biosecurity and vaccination.

@Nelson Ruíz, thank you for your insightful comments. I agree with your perspective that KOH protein solubility serves as an effective indicator for assessing the degree of overheating in soybean meal. Our observations have shown a strong correlation between KOH solubility and the reactive lysine to total lysine ratio. Typically, we utilize both KOH and the reactive lysine ratio to validate our fi ...

Thanks Dr. Penz, For the non-nutritionists who wish to know more about what data is needed in order to have a new factor (or non-nutritive) element calculated or evaluated in the Least Cost Formulation, you may find what you need in a recent book published by Dr. Todd Applegate of the University of Georgia. The book is entitled Advances in Poultry Nutrition. I was pleased to contribute the chapter ...
