Feed sanitation is more than just a preventative measure; it's the first line of defense in a comprehensive biosecurity strategy. Research has shown that birds fed feed with reduced microbial loads are better equipped to deal with stressors leading to dysbiosis, ultimately leading to healthier birds. By stopping pathogens at the source, farmers protect animal health, maintain productivity standards and ensure that both animal welfare and food safety standards are upheld. Proper feed sanitation is not just best practice—it’s a fundamental step in creating a safe and sustainable poultry farming operation.

Decreasing microbial loads may help reduce pathogen prevalence in feed and support the development of a healthy microbiome, generating improvements in bird health and performance. These benefits translate directly into real revenue for producers, making clean feed a cost-effective food safety and poultry performance strategy. Listen in as Dr. Enrique Montiel discusses the role of feed quality in poultry production, emphasizing its impact on bird performance and biosecurity. https://bit.ly/3zI8I0K

Effective mitigation of swine viruses, such as PEDV, PRRS and ASFV, in swine feed involves rigorous measures at various stages. Managing feed as a fomite and achieving animal performance and productivity goals require that producers reduce microbial loads and the prevalence of pathogens in feed and feed ingredients. Listen in with Technical Directors, Dr. Yun-Mei Amy Lin and Dr. Francisco Domingues as they discuss practical ways to mitigate swine disease. https://hubs.ly/Q02RxFL50

Managing feed as a fomite and achieving animal performance and productivity goals require that producers reduce microbial loads and the prevalence of pathogens in feed and feed ingredients. Producers milling and utilizing clean feed are better prepared to achieve operational performance and productivity goals due to lower feed-source pathogen prevalence, reduced microbial load and spoilage-causing organisms.

PH plays a significant role in fermentation, influencing enzyme activity and microbial growth. OptimOH reduces the use of corrosive chemicals within the fermentation process by facilitating necessary pH changes and preventing biofilm formation. Effectively reducing bacteria preserves essential sugars for complete fermentation and lowers levels of organic acids, which, if unchecked, could stress yeast and hinder fermentation. Ethanol producers use OptimOH to: ▪️ aid in necessary pH reductions ▪️ eliminate bacteria, supporting healthy fermentation ▪️ facilitate the re-use of process water, mash and yeast innoculum

An excellent seminar on 'Clean Feed: Homogeneity for Optimal Feed Performance' in Medan, Indonesia. Clean feed experts, Budi Budiman and Haryono JATMIKO provided a lively demonstration for assessing feed mixing efficiency while Dr. Enrique Montiel shared valuable insights on the impact of feed quality on poultry health.

We are thrilled to celebrate 50 years of the University of Minnesota's Leman Swine Conference this week! During yesterday's poster session, Dr. Francisco Domingues presented the newest data on the effect of sanitized feed on ASFV. Feed is a fomite for swine viruses, and studies have shown that specific ingredient matrices can enhance virus survival. Preventing virus transmission through contaminated feed is achievable with proper protocols in place. A feed sanitizer, in all tested concentrations, demonstrated complete virus inactivation within one hour, making it a powerful biosecurity tool for mitigating ASFV in commercial swine feed.

In hens fed clean feed, average egg per housed hen was 10.3% higher during the first eleven weeks of egg production. A study was performed by Southern Poultry Research Inc to evaluate the efficacy of a feed sanitizer to decrease the prevalence of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) in commercial layers infected through feed early in brooding. Not only did the hens fed treated feed result in lower SE prevalence, but performance also improved. Access the complete study below.

Creating high-quality pellets that support animal performance is a complex process. Commercial mills and integrators often face challenges in managing moisture levels, leading to pellet quality challenges, reduced efficiency and productivity, feed wastage and nutrient segregation. How do producers make high-quality feed at the lowest possible cost? → Optimize the use of resources → Improve production processes → Reduce waste Achieving a balance between production efficiency and nutritional value requires improved moisture penetration and more effective meal conditioning. The experts weighed in below. https://hubs.ly/Q02PQhYV0

"It’s post-processing contamination where we get in trouble. Once that virus gets in on the dust or the liquid on the trucks - boom - the whole place is lit up." Get the latest research on PEDV, PRRSV and SVA prevention below. https://hubs.ly/Q02PQcnJ0
