Dear readers,
We are happy to bring you another issue with its rich content. This month’s issue, unlike our previous issues, focuses on 4 different topics: Algae, software, zinc oxide and feed phosphates…
Today, I would like to talk a little bit about algae. As you know, we humans and our animals share a very large part of food resources. In other words, we are fed with almost same raw material sources. However, world population is increasing rapidly and the need for food gets its share from this rise. Unfortunately, we have limited resources. This concerning situation for the future has become an important matter of sustainability. Therefore, it is now an inevitable necessity to turn to more sustainable food ingredients for both humans and animals. In addition, environmental problems and the tendency towards natural resources are among other factors that trigger this necessity.
Algae is one of these new nutritional ingredients that emerged in the process of searching for different sources and has started to gain popularity with the benefits it offers. It is known that algae, used as biofuels, human food and animal feed, has positive effects on animal growth and immunity. Likewise, it is stated that it has yield-enhancing properties in animal products such as meat, milk and eggs in the field of livestock and that their environmental impact is lower.
Its multifunctional, natural and healthy structure makes algae an ingredient worth keeping on the agenda and researching. In this month’s issue, we made an effort to prepare a detailed file that includes all these issues related to algae, with contributions from the industry’s leading suppliers of seaweed, macro and micro algae. I hope it will be a useful file that you will enjoy reading.
Another topic you can find in this month’s issue is about the use of zinc oxide. This dossier will contribute to the development of a new approach, especially for pig breeders, before the restrictions of the use of zinc oxide at pharmacological level will be in effect in European Union countries as of June 2022. I would also like to remind you that you can review our May 2021 issue for more resources on this subject.
You can find details and other valuable content about feed/additive formulation software and feed phosphates market in the following pages.
Enjoy reading…
