Royal DSM announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire US-based First Choice Ingredients for an enterprise value of $453 million.

Addition of enzymes to monogastric diets is a widely used practice in the feed industry to improve digestion of difficult to digest components present in those diets, thereby enhancing production performance, and reducing feed cost per unit of animal product. Xylanase is one of the enzymes used to break down a part of the non-starch polysaccharide fraction. In many countries where monogastric diets are mostly corn-soybean meal based...

Feed enzymes offer a range of useful options for enhancing the digestibility of the diet. The individual capacity of phytase, carbohydrase and protease to increase the digestibility of amino acids has been extensively demonstrated. However, it is increasingly the case that diets are formulated with more than one enzyme and so the additivity of enzyme effects has become a focal area of ongoing research.

Although mycotoxins affect most organs and systems in poultry, some organs/systems are more vulnerable for a specific group of mycotoxins. Aflatoxins are known as potent hepatotoxins while ochratoxins are known to affect kidneys severely. Similarly, GIT is more susceptible to trichothecene mycotoxins while fumonisins affect sphingholipid metabolism in various organs. The one system that is affected by all these mycotoxins is the immune system and it can be affected even...

Many variables affect the pellet quality. We should distinguish between parameters originating from the ingredients and formulation, and process and technology related factors. Technology plays a vital role, as it is directly linked to a feed miller’s objective of producing pellets that are as hard as required and maintain a high and constant throughput while keeping energy costs at the lowest level possible.

It is important that pig producers know how to spot the signs of heat stress in their animals, as every factor of heat stress attributes to poor sow welfare. The best strategies to combat heat stress combine various techniques that reduce animal stress, improve animal performance, and boost the financial result for the farmers.

The DSM | Novozymes Feed Enzymes Alliance announces the commercial release of its breakthrough second-generation protease, ProAct 360™ for poultry producers.

Evonik and Qingdao Vland Biotech Group have developed product to improve water quality in aquaculture for shrimp. The companies are planning to launch the new product in China.

Insects, which are considered as a valuable feed ingredient to reduce the environmental footprint and make production sustainable in the livestock and feed industry, has quickly turned into an industry. IPIFF Secretary General Christophe Derrien explained in 5 questions the current situation, market size, future potential and growth prospects of this rapidly growing industry.

As part of developing insect-fed value chains in aquaculture, InnovaFeed and its partners have conducted in-depth research on the impact of including insect protein in salmonids feed on the end product quality and taste. Expertly trained taste testers have evaluated salmon/trout fillets in comparative trials. In research, no experts were able to organoleptically differentiate insect-fed salmon or trout from traditionally-fed counterparts.
