FEED manufacturers are often forced by circumstances to focus on short-term concerns such as: How many tons were produced this week? How many customers do I have, or how much down time did I have this week? While important, short-term problems can cause manufacturers to focus on solving problems rather than pursuing the company’s mission. Manufacturers who regularly examine their company’s miss...

The pH of pre-enrichment media containing feed/ingredients can become acidic during incubation due to bacterial utilization feed carbohydrates. This decrease in result cell injury or death, negatively impacting the detection Salmonella. Our objective was evaluate a new triple buffered peptone (TBP) against water (BPW) and lactose broth (LB) for recovery Salmonella from feed. Liquid cultures nal...

With the milk to feed ratio at 2.36 in February, 2008, dairy managers must carefully reviewing feed inputs relative to milk yield. A milk to feed ratio under 3 is a signal to reduce feed inputs. Feed efficiency (also referred to as milk performance efficiency and dairy efficiency) can be defined as pounds of 3.5%FCM (fat corrected milk) produced per pound of dry matter (DM) consumed. Monitoring...

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of treatment of rice straw with urea and a urease containing midden soil on the chemical composition of treated rice straw, feed intake of the animals, nutrients digestibility, body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency and overall economy of feeding for a period of 105 days. Twelve indigenous growing cattle (live weight 130.00±1.67 kg) were se...

The article examines existing methods for assessing the homogeneity of feed mixes in industry and agriculture. As an alternative to approaches, authors offer a low-cost online technology assess feed. feedstuff under study includes cattle or compound consisting naturally-grown (green mass freshly cut grass, haylage, corn silage, etc.) concentrated components (grain milling, sunflower, soybean me...
