Feeds being analyzed include a wide range of materials for livestock, pets, and aquaculture, such as individual and compound feeds, roughages like hay and silage, grains, and mixed rations
When storing corn in silos, it is necessary to maintain the ideal humidity at or below. This will help the corn to be well preserved and prevent rotting or fungal infections. It is important to dry the corn thoroughly before storing it, so that its humidity drops to this specific level.
Generally fresh milk is not permitted for preservatives addition.
Preservatives are more commonly permitted in processed milk products like cheese, yogurt, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and powdered milk to extend their shelf life. Common examples of preservatives found in various dairy products include:
to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients and reduce feed costs and environmental impact.
Key Reasons for Using Enzymes in Animal Feed
Break Down Anti-Nutritional Factors (ANFs): Many feed ingredients, especially grains like corn and soybeans, contain complex carbohydrates (like non-starch polysaccharides or NSPs) and other compounds (like phytate) that animals cannot easily digest on their own. Enzymes like phytase (to release phosphorus from phytate) and carbohydrases (to break down NSPs) help neutralize these ANFs.
Increase Nutrient Availability: By breaking down complex molecules, enzymes ensure that more nutrients (amino acids, energy, and minerals) are released from the feed and can be absorbed by the animal. This leads to better feed efficiency and growth performance.
Reduce Environmental Impact: Enzymes, particularly phytase, reduce the amount of indigestible phosphorus excreted in manure, which helps lower phosphorus pollution in water sources.
Lower Feed Cost: Enzymes allow nutritionists to use less expensive feed ingredients or to formulate diets with lower overall nutrient specifications, leading to significant cost savings while maintaining animal performance.to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients and reduce feed costs and environmental impact.
