Bangkok provided the launchpad earlier this month for a new application of Biomin’s Fumzyme that will initially target aquaculture feed producers in Asia. The Asian region was chosen for the launch of Fumzyme Sol because of its high prevalence of fumonisins,...
Attapulgite producer, GeoHellas, has Asia on its mind. Already major countries such as China, Indonesia and Vietnam have either banned or are phasing out antibiotics, a trend that the supplier says presents it with substantial opportunities.

The second International Sorghum Congress took place on 7-8 November 2018 in Milan, Italy. The event looked at how sorghum could compete with other cereals both in terms of profitability for farmers and economic and nutritional interest for users in both...
Alternative markets, new storage solutions and additional testing are among the ways being suggested to address possible high levels of mycotoxins in Canadian feed corn.
Dispatches from the World Nutrition Conference in Cape Town
In contrast to research showing that feed processing techniques such as milling, steeping and extrusion can reduce mycotoxin content, there is limited research into the impact of feed composition on mycotoxin toxicity, says an expert.
Wet weather in US corn-producing states is boosting mycotoxin presence in corn silage and could bring challenges for producers trying to use the feed ingredient, says an expert.
Dispatches from World Nutrition Forum in Cape Town
The mycotoxin load in staple food and feed crops is likely to increase due to combination of climate change factors including increasing temperatures and CO2 levels, extreme wet and drought conditions, says an expert.
Dispatches from World Nutrition Forum in Cape Town
A massive reduction in the mycotoxin load in DDGS, sensor led indication of toxin contamination of grains in silos as well as greatly enhanced biocontrol of aflatoxin development in the field – EU Horizon 2020 project, MyToolBox, has had a number of wins...
Biomin is in expansion mode. It recently broke ground on a new mineral feed and premix production plant in Austria, while, in November 2017, it increased its capacity in the fast-growing Chinese market with the opening of a production plant in Wuxi, Jiangsu...
A study confirmed the yeast species, Yarrowia lipolytica, in combination with a probiotic - a mixture of Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis - is highly suitable for feeding piglets.
Bühler has launched a cloud-based digital feed and food drying service, MoisturePro, that it says boosts yield, while reducing costs and the environmental footprint of thermal processing in the feed and food industries.
German specialty chemicals company, Evonik, says it has expanded its high-precision Near Infrared (NIR) analytical services to enable the content of raw, unground feed materials to be assessed as soon as they arrive at the feed mill.
The level of success of the EU Commission’s EU Protein Plan depends, to a great extent, on whether the European feed industry is able to incorporate locally cultivated protein crops in feed formulations, argues FEFAC.
Efficient use of local resources may improve the productivity, resilience and competitiveness of European pig production, says Wendy Rauw, research scientist, INIA in Spain.
An increase in regional protein production in Europe is possible, but any further development of regional raw feed protein cultivation is going to need a lot of support, both from feed manufacturers and policy initiatives.
A study has found that prevention strategies at the pre and post-harvest stages are the most effective ways of reducing mycotoxin load as, once they are present in feed ingredients, mycotoxins are hard to eliminate.
EFSA has reiterated its previous conclusion that bentonite is safe for all animal species, the consumers and the environment when used at a maximum level of 20,000 mg/kg complete feed.
Feed additive producer, Nutriad, which operates four laboratories and five plants located in Belgium, Spain, the UK, China and the US, has been bought by Chinese group, Adisseo.
Austrian company, Biomin, says a recent EFSA opinion implies the real on-farm threat to animals posed by the mycotoxin, deoxynivalenol (DON), could be routinely underestimated.
Feed and grain moisture monitoring may be getting easier for producers in developing nations with a combined project from Kansas State University and the USDA.
Dairy and pig trials to support the development of EU equivalent regulations on feed additives to detoxify mycotoxins are about to get underway in China.
Rock River Laboratory is offering a new diagnostic suite for US dairy and cattle producers after increasing demand for analysis from those sectors last year.
The co-contamination of feedstuffs with multiple mycotoxins is the rule and not the exception, according to the lead author on a new paper, published in Toxins.
Nutriad, in its analysis of wheat samples from the UK and Ireland this year, found notable deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination, at levels ten times higher than the maximum concentrations found for that mycotoxin in the 2015 survey.
Nutritional challenges, feed quality issues are set to be addressed farm-by-farm in a new customizable feed platform from Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM).
A four-year, €5m backed EU project is looking to create a cloud-based platform that provides real-time, customized advice about mycotoxins in order to achieve crop contamination reductions of between 20 and 90%.
