TD is a metabolic bone disorder in poultry that disrupts normal bone and cartilage formation, leading to lameness and deformities in the tibia.

Prevalence: Common in fast-growing broilers, with prevalence increasing by up to 30% in some flocks.

Economic impact: Causes welfare issues and financial losses in the poultry industry.

Maintain maize grain moisture between 12.5 ± 0.5% during silo storage, allowing ≤ 1% moisture loss over the storage period for best quality and minimum economic loss.

Aeration Fan Operation – Best Practices for Mold & Moisture Control

Aeration fans should be used strategically to maintain cool, uniform grain temperatures and prevent moisture build-up. Operate fans during the coolest and driest times of day, typically between 10 PM and 7 AM, when ambient air temperature is low and relative humidity (RH) is below 70 %. Cool night air helps remove residual field heat and equalize temperatures throughout the silo.

Avoid running fans during humid, foggy, or rainy weather, as warm or moist air can add moisture to grain and create conditions for mold growth. Begin aeration when grain temperature exceeds ambient by 4–6 °C, and continue until the difference (ΔT) narrows to 2–3 °C. This prevents hot spots and reduces insect activity.

During the post-harvest period, continuous aeration for 2–3 days helps remove field heat. Thereafter, use intermittent aeration runs (4–6 hours each) to maintain uniform temperature. In warmer months, short night-time aeration cycles prevent heating at the top layers.

For optimal efficiency, equip silos with automatic aeration controllers linked to temperature and humidity sensors. Such systems activate fans only when conditions are favorable, conserving power while safeguarding grain quality.
