Ensuring the safety and quality of swine feed is crucial for maintaining herd health and preventing disease outbreaks. Viral diseases such as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) pose significant
Disease outbreaks over the past decade have reaffirmed the importance of biosecurity when it comes to limiting the spread of contagious pathogens. Biosecurity is the cornerstone of maintaining healthy and productive poultry flocks. Feed sanitation, a key component of effective biosecurity
Feed is essential in sustainable poultry farming, influencing bird health, growth and farm productivity while also affecting environmental and economic outcomes. High-quality feed provides the necessary nutrients for optimal growth, enhancing feed conversion efficiency and reducing waste.
Feed plays a pivotal role in determining poultry gut health and overall feed conversion efficiency, which directly impacts bird performance. Feed accounts for around 70% of the production investment and is essential to efficient production. Feed for birds is the same as food for humans.
Every producer strives to maximize productivity while minimizing costs, and a key factor in achieving this balance is feed efficiency. Optimizing this single metric can spell the difference between thriving flocks and financial strain. Understanding and optimizing feed efficiency metrics
Swine viruses such as African Swine Fever (ASF), Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDV), and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) are detrimental to animal health and performance, severely impacting producer productivity and profitability. While PEDV and PRRS are endemic,
