The art of Feed Hygiene

Healthy and safe feed is essential for healthy and safe food – so it is important to have an efficient feed hygiene system in place to minimize the risk of pathogenic bacterial contamination of feed. For businesses a product recall is costly as well as damaging to their reputation. For feed producers it could also mean stopping production at a site, followed by decontamination, disposal of feed and materials. Where there is concern regarding contamination with pathogenic bacteria, measures should be taken to minimize possible hazards. Using effective methods to prevent contamination and recontamination of feed is important for both animal performance and the feed industry. In the past Formaldehyde offered a very effective solution against salmonella in feed. However being registered as a carcinogen, it was banned in Europe in 2018. The world is now looking forward to new solutions. Organic acids based feed hygiene solutions and heat treatment are currently considered the most efficient alternatives. Swedish additives producer Perstorp has been researching the effectiveness of other molecules and combinations of molecules against pathogens in feed for decades. They have come to know that optimal results are achieved by combining moderate heat treatment with optimized additives that prevent recontamination after the heat treatment. A finding supported by research.

Antibiotic reduction

Antibiotics are undoubtedly one of mankind’s most valuable discovery. They help us - and farm animals - to fight diseases and other challenges such as pathogens. They also improve the growth performance of animals. We depend on them so much that antibiotic resistance is one of this century’s biggest concerns for our species.

Mold inhibition

When you store feed or feed raw materials there is always a risk of losing nutritional value or contaminations with molds, bacteria and/or yeasts. Of course you want to limit this as much as possible to provide animals with safe feed with a high nutritional value. Well preserved feed or feed raw materials will keep its nutritional value for a longer time.

Crimping

Ensiling moist rolled grain (crimping) is a flexible and cost effective method of storing feeding grain. Undesired microorganisms are inhibited due to the oxygen-free environment in combination with the preserving effect of organic acids. Using Perstorp’s crimping concept yields high quality forage and protection during storage and feed-out and facilitates the handling.

Molds and mycotoxins

It is estimated that more than 25% of the world production of wheat, barley and maize is contaminated with mycotoxins resulting from mold growth. Perstorp offers several types of tools to deal with mould growth and mycotoxins.
