Feed & Additive Magazine is in front of its readers with a full October issue. First of all, on behalf of my teammates, I sincerely thank the representatives of the entire animal nutrition industry for their increased interest and contribution to our magazine.

In October issue, together with valuable representatives of the industry, we discussed two important topics: “Use of Organic Acid as Preservative in Feed Production” and “Ways to Improve Feed Efficiency and Animal Performance”.

Animal nutrition is one of the most important ways to reach safe food. It would not be an exaggeration to say that a healthy and well-fed animal is the key to providing the consumer with healthy and quality animal food. Organic acids, which is the first topic we cover this month, comes into play at this point. Organic acids contribute to the production of healthy and high quality foods by both ensuring the safety of feed and also by protecting the health of the animal. You can find highly useful information presented by our esteemed authors by discussing organic acids from different aspects, in the following pages of our journal.
Dear readers, as you know, the rising world population and the increasing need for food has become a more important issue than ever before. Because it does not seem possible for the existing natural resources to meet the increasing needs alone without any intervention. This situation is now one of the most important problems to be solved for every food-related sector.

The livestock industry has a key role in meeting the increasing food need in the world, but, like other industries, it faces with the necessity of using existing resources in a sustainable and effective way. This means producing more with fewer resources. And for the animal nutrition industry, it means having more animal products with less feed or with the existing amount of feed.

So, is this possible? Is there a way to both meet the animal’s nutritional needs and also increase the animal’s production performance? Representatives of the animal nutrition industry state that it is possible to achieve this with a well-planned feed ration. You can find the details in our special story…

I hope it will be an issue that you will benefit and enjoy reading…

See you in the next issue…
