How clean is your feed?
Feed represents the biggest cost to any livestock production unit; approximately 75% of the total outgoings are spent on feed. As a result, great care and attention is given to the formulation of feeds, ensuring the nutritional requirement of the animal is met with each ration in order to deliver optimal performance levels. Feed is routinely analyzed to check the levels of nutritional components including protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, moisture, and fats. The analysis results allow adjustments to be made to increase feed intake and reduce undesirable characteristics such as the formation of dust. But how clean is the feed? Are there any contaminants in the feed? When was the last time the feed was analyzed for enterobacteria or mold content for example?

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.

Infographic: don't roll the dice on enterobacteria
Enterobacteria are a major threat to animal production and even food safety. A very versatile threat. Enterobacteria have found ways to enter feed or animal production at pretty much every step of the production chain. There are risks to mitigate and consequences to consider on every turn.
