Redefining forage particle size for ruminants
Dairy cow rumination is a complex process involving eating, cud chewing, and recumbent chewing—all of which are influenced by forage particle size. Recent research...
Nutritional support and awareness growing fast in Middle East
Poultry farming across the Middle East faces growing challenges, from heat stress and feed quality issues to disease outbreaks and access to nutritional and...
Supporting dairy cows during heat stress
Modern high-yielding dairy cows, while genetically superior, exhibit increased susceptibility to metabolic disorders and fertility issues. Maintaining optimal gut health is paramount in mitigating...
Shielding poultry performance from the heat
One of the primary mechanisms through which heat stress negatively impacts poultry is the activation of the body's inflammatory response. Inflammation in the gut...
Epigenetics and immunity, health, and longevity in dairy cows
Epigenetic activation begins within the first few days of life. Calves receiving insufficient colostrum or nutritional restriction during critical developmental periods typically underperform later...
Feed Efficiency: The challenge of a dairy cow
It is well known that the most efficient diets are the most profitable. Maximising feed intake and milk production is thus essential to improve...
Insects could transform plastic waste into protein
To date, at least 11 insect species, mostly in the larval stage, have been identified as capable of biodegrading plastics. The most thoroughly documented...
Beyond Waste: How rendering drives sustainability in animal agriculture
When we examine sustainable practices in animal agriculture, recycling food waste and animal by-products into feed emerges as a particularly promising approach. Rendered animal...
Lyso-phospholipids enhance growth performance and feed efficiency in freshwater fish
Lyso-phospholipids, also known as lysolecithin, are produced through the hydrolysis of lecithin, which removes a fatty acid molecule from phospholipid structures. This modification increases...
Predictive Maintenance: Transforming feed mills for the future
As Internet of Things devices and AI continue to evolve, feed mills that adopt predictive maintenance will find themselves at the forefront of a...
