ARTICLE 60 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2022 Enriching the synergistic blend with moisture management agents ensures that the active complex penetrates deep into feed particles. As a result, more of the active solution is absorbed and retained by feed. Optimal buffering of the blend enables balanced release of the antimould complex over time, prolonging feed shelf life. As it delivers a synergistic effect, Fylax Forte-HC is also proven effective in penetrating the mould spores and rendering them ineffective in contaminating feed. The product has demonstrated prolonged availability in feed, and this prolonged effect helps protect against recontamination of moulds in both raw ingredients and finished feed (Figure 1). Additionally, Fylax Forte-HC avoids the concerns for human and animal health posed by end-of-pipe solutions such as formaldehyde, which is prohibited in many production regions. Dedicated dosing equipment helps ensure correct dosage, along with uniform mixing and consistent application during feed production. The result is a homogenous distribution of active ingredients through each feed batch. This gives the most effective approach to control mould and provide shelflife longevity. Selko dosing solutions can be customized to meet specific customer needs. FEEDING THE FUTURE RESPONSIBLY Research demonstrates that an understanding of organic acids and their synergies can support safety as well as the longevity and quality of animal feed. Selko continues to invest in research that explores the modes of action behind science-based innovations that support feed-to-food safety. References: • K.E. Akande, M.M. Abubakar, T.A.
