From Raw Material to the Table: A New Era in Feed Safety

Feed safety continues to be a top priority for the sustainability of the livestock sector. Safe feed not only ensures the health and well-being of animals but also directly safeguards the integrity of the food chain and consumer confidence. However, risks are becoming increasingly diverse, including toxins in raw materials, pesticide residues, heavy metals, hygiene gaps in production processes, and spoilage during storage. On top of this, climate change–driven fluctuations in humidity and temperature...

Certification is a driver for safe & sustainable feed, worldwide

World population and animal product consumption are growing. As new feed markets emerge, certification will be the key to a fair and sustainable industry. The start to 2026 has shown the world is still unpredictable. Legislative uncertainty, unexpected tariffs, supply disruption, and market volatility are not exactly desirable in an already competitive feed market with...

Identifying forage quality through testing

Forage quality cannot be reliably assessed by appearance alone. Accurate forage testing provides essential insight into nutrient composition, digestibility, and potential feeding risks, enabling producers to balance diets more precisely. Understanding key analytical parameters helps ensure that forage effectively...

The role of processing technologies in ensuring feed safety

Processing technologies are central to ensuring feed safety and, by extension, food safety. Controlled thermal treatment, informed raw material selection, robust engineering design, advanced automation, and reliable data management must work together to achieve predictable pathogen reduction. Feed safety...

Advanced processing technology for feed safety

Feed safety starts with raw material intake and continues through every step of grinding, mixing, conditioning, pelleting, cooling, and handling. Hygienic equipment design matters - but consistent results increasingly depend on smart process integration, automation, and real-time data control. ROLE...

Enhanced feed safety on farms ensures serenity in uncertain times

Pig production faces constant economic, social, and geopolitical challenges beyond farmers' control. Therefore, focusing on controllable aspects like feed safety is critical. Since viral contaminations cannot be predicted, medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) offer a practical tool to manage such...

Safe feed through smart mycotoxin control

Mycotoxins remain one of the most unpredictable challenges in animal nutrition. By combining global data, rapid on‑site testing, digital interpretation tools, and targeted mitigation strategies, producers across all species can finally stay ahead and protect feed quality with confidence. Mycotoxins...

Higher quality and more valuable feed with moisture control

Controlling water in animal feed production processes is no longer just a quality issue, but a strategic lever for efficiency, consistency, and profitability. As feed mills handle increasingly variable raw materials, precise moisture control enables producers to stabilize operations,...

Next-generation preservatives for cereals and feed

Preserving cereals and feed is no longer just about inhibiting spoilage, but about delivering long-term safety, performance, and health across the production chain. As limitations of traditional organic acids and formaldehyde become increasingly clear, next-generation natural preservatives are redefining...

From survival to optimal performance: How health drives aquaculture success

In aquaculture, survival rates, harvest volumes, and growth curves are essential KPIs; however, they only tell part of the story. These KPIs are ultimately...

Smart storage technologies are reshaping feed safety

Smart storage technologies are transforming feed safety from a reactive practice into a proactive quality management approach. With the expansion of global supply chains and increasing climate variability, traditional...

USA: livestock and feed market analysis

The United States is a global leader in the livestock and feed sectors in terms of technology, scale, and logistical efficiency. In the 2024-2026 period, total compound feed production...

The impact of drinking water quality on productivity in pigs and poultry

Among the many factors influencing productivity in pigs and poultry, drinking water quality remains one of the most overlooked yet crucial elements. Encouragingly, the livestock industry is increasingly recognising...

Marine macroalgae in animal nutrition: Current market landscape, technical challenges, and future potential

Marine macroalgae are gaining attention in animal nutrition as sustainable, multifunctional feed additives aligned with climate goals and evolving consumer expectations. While still a niche market, their applications span...

Nucleotides in functional nutrition: Boosting growth and resilience

Nucleotides play a strategic role in functional nutrition, going beyond basic maintenance to actively enhance growth and physiological resilience across animal species. By supplementing diets with exogenous nucleotides, producers...

Global Mycotoxin Review guides feed mills and farmers in 2026

The 2025 Trouw Nutrition Global Mycotoxin Review provides feed mills and farmers with insights to safeguard feed quality and livestock performance in 2026. Dr. Swamy Haladi and Avinash Bhat...
