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.

All disease begins in the gut
Hippocrates, father of modern medicine stated “All disease begins in the gut” way back in 460- 370 B.C. The gut plays a pivotal role in the immune system. Immunogloblin A (IgA) plays a very important role here and is produced and secreted in the digestive tract by the mucosal barrier that lines the intestine. Once this barrier becomes damaged, it impacts the ability to produce this extremely important antibodies. The ability to fight off all the harmful substances that enter the body is lost, leaving animals exposed to many kinds of infections. The gut is responsible for protection against toxins and pathogens including harmful parasites, bacteria, virus, yeast and fungi. The gut is also responsible for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients needed to supply the entire body with the required building blocks for energy, growth and repair. An inflamed gut impairs the body’s ability to absorb nutrients which leads to great performance losses and extra costs.
