PEDV protection starts with clean feed. Francisco Domingues, Anitox Global Director of Swine Markets, presented new data on effective prevention against PEDV and PRRS at today's?American Society of Animal Science?Midwest Meeting. Feed is often overlooked as a potential source of disease transmission, yet it plays a critical role in biosecurity. By prioritizing clean, monitored, and pathogen-free feed, you can reduce the risk of introducing harmful pathogens into your operation. Endemic swine viruses are serious threats but manageable with the right strategies. Protect your herd, boost your bottom line, and contribute to a healthier industry for everyone.

Biosecurity in feed mills isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about proactively preventing contamination and ensuring safe, high-quality feed. A weak link in your system can expose your operation to pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, putting animal health and food safety at risk. Key Steps to Optimize Your Biosecurity Program: → Assess vulnerabilities: Identify contamination risks in raw materials, equipment, and facility design. → Enhance sanitation protocols: Implement chemical treatments and organic acids to reduce microbial load. → Control traffic & access: Minimize cross-contamination by regulating movement of personnel and vehicles. → Monitor & test regularly: Use pathogen monitoring to detect and address risks before they escalate. A strong biosecurity program isn’t static—it evolves with new threats and technologies.

In the fight against Avian Influenza (AI), we often focus on biosecurity at the farm level—but what about feed safety? Clean feed is a critical but sometimes overlooked factor in disease prevention. By maintaining strict milling hygiene, monitoring ingredient quality, and controlling storage conditions, we can reduce the risk of contamination and support overall flock health. Clean feed doesn’t just prevent disease; it also boosts productivity and efficiency, benefiting the entire industry. This is a challenge we all share, and by working together, we can build stronger, healthier systems for the future. Access the full guide below. https://hubs.ly/Q03915Fb0

Contamination is one of the biggest challenges in bioethanol production, leading to lower yields, higher costs, and operational inefficiencies. With the right strategies, we can effectively minimize microbial contamination and optimize fermentation performance.

Achieving and maintaining optimal pellet durability requires careful attention to moisture management throughout the pellet production and handling process. Some strategies to consider include: ?? Precise moisture control ?? High-quality ingredients ??? Proper conditioning ??? Optimized pelletizing parameters ?? Post-pelleting drying ?? Effective storage practices Moisture plays a crucial role in determining the durability, strength and hardness of feed pellets in animal nutrition. Understanding the impact of moisture on pellet quality and implementing effective moisture management strategies is essential for maintaining optimal pellet durability standards.

Contamination is one of the biggest threats to bioethanol production efficiency. It reduces yields, increases costs, and disrupts fermentation. Yet, many producers still struggle with bacterial contamination that competes with yeast for sugars, leading to lower ethanol output and higher process inefficiencies. So, how can bioethanol producers stay ahead of contamination risks? ?? Monitor & Control Bacterial Growth Pathogens thrive in fermentation environments, producing lactic acid that inhibits yeast performance. Regular microbial testing and real-time monitoring help detect issues early. ?? Optimize Cleaning & Sanitation Protocols Biofilms and residual contamination in fermentation tanks, piping, and heat exchangers can harbor unwanted microbes. Implementing CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems with effective sanitizers prevents buildup. ??? Maintain Proper pH & Temperature Control Most bacterial contaminants struggle in optimal yeast conditions. Keeping pH between 4.0-5.0 and ensuring tight temperature regulation favors yeast dominance while suppressing bacterial growth. ?? Use Antibiotic-Free Biocides or Natural Inhibitors With growing concerns over antibiotic resistance, many producers are shifting to alternative inhibitors to selectively control bacteria without affecting yeast. ?? Optimize Yeast Health & Nutrient Balance A strong, healthy yeast culture is the best defense against contamination. Providing proper nitrogen sources, vitamins, and oxygen management ensures rapid fermentation, outcompeting bacterial threats. Preventing contamination isn’t just about maintaining quality—it’s about maximizing ethanol yields, reducing downtime, and ensuring consistent production efficiency.
