Rapid Mycotoxin Analysis Kit – MYCOMASTER

Image
  When it comes to assessing the levels of mycotoxins that may be present in raw materials and final feed, integrators and feed millers are faced with some difficult choices. On one hand, they would like to know exactly which mycotoxins may be involved, as well as the degree of contamination. On the other, however, they need to be able to take effective action within hours, rather than waiting days to receive lab test analyses. Need of the hour: on-spot, reliable testing method Understanding the situation faced by integrators and feed millers, Trouw Nutrition has developed a tool to analyse mycotoxins without the need of a third-party laboratory.   Mycomaster provides rapid, cost-effective and quantitative mycotoxin analyses of over 40 validated feed raw materials and final feed. Mycomaster is designed to upload results directly to a secure online global database, thus enabling users to be able to compare the obtained results with reference data from old samples and fro...

Managing Mycotoxin risk in Layers

Image
  There are two kinds of layer farmers across the globe. Those who produce their own feed and those who buy from commercial feed millers.                            i.           The challenge of mycotoxins starts with the loss of raw materials. If the farmers are not careful in selecting right quality raw materials, they may lose money at a later stage if such raw materials are deemed unfit to be used in feed manufacturing.                           ii.           The second challenge of mycotoxins is related to loss of health and performance of laying hens. Unlike broiler chickens, commercial layers are reared for a minimum of 70 weeks of ...

Moisture Management in animal feed

Image
  Moisture management is a critical aspect of animal feed production and storage. Proper moisture control is essential to maintain the quality, nutritional value, and shelf life of animal feed. Several steps in the feed production process influence moisture content. This may lead to process loss and operational inefficiencies such as decreased pellet durability and reduced throughput (also referred to as shrinkage or loss of bulk). A common solution is adding water to compensate for losses experienced during production. However, this increases water activity (aW), resulting in higher availability of moisture for harmful microbes to grow. The challenge is to find a solution to improve moisture levels without increasing chances of microbial growth. Ensuring a deep penetration of moisture inside the feed particle requires surface tension reduction, while simultaneously adding solutions to prevent the growth of harmful microbes, important for a longer shelf-life and nutrition...

How to achieve Performance and Production Efficiency in Poultry farming

Image
  Production efficiency is achieved when the animal reaches a high level of performance and feed intake while maintaining good health. Feed alone accounts for most of a livestock farmer’s total costs. Optimize your investment in layer hens by ensuring efficient intake of nutrients that translate to robust egg production , good health and enhanced overall productivity. It involves implementing various strategies and best practices. Here are some key steps to help improve performance and production efficiency: Optimize nutrition : Proper nutrition is essential for optimal growth, health, and performance of poultry. Consult with a poultry nutritionist to develop balanced and customized feed formulations that meet the specific nutritional requirements of different poultry species and production stages. This includes ensuring appropriate levels of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. Monitor and manage flock health: Regularly monitor the health of the flock through routine ...
