PROTECTED FEED INGREDIENTS DURING PROCESSING STEPS

PROTECTED FEED INGREDIENTS DURING PROCESSING STEPS

Finished feed is a complex matrix with macro- and micro-nutrients, which is often highly processed. After all the macro- and micro-nutrients are carefully formulated and mixed, the real challenge to feed safety & quality begins.

FEED SAFETY

Heat during feed processing may reduce microbial load in the pelleted feed, but as soon as the feed is conveyed through a dirty auger or loaded into a contaminated bin or truck, microbial growth starts all over again. Therefore, feed must be protected during the processing phase as well as during transport and storage. To help prevent microbial growth in feed, blended organic acids are used during mixing to act on numerous microbe species to lessen their impact on the ration and ultimately on animal performance.
