In this series of articles, we discuss the main concepts of safety and preventive measures to ensure the safety and quality of swine feed.
In the previous article, we learned about the concept of feed safety, its impact on swine production, and the responsibility of the compound feed industry in the food chain. Now we will focus on how to practically apply this concept in the compound feed production process.
Today's swine industry depends on a supply of properly balanced feed, the quality and safety of which are critical to pig health, welfare, and maximum productive performance.
Mistakes to avoid when receiving, sampling, and storing raw materials in the pig feed mill.
Quality is essential for the sustainability, reliability, and profitability of any company. In pig production, we can also apply the integral concept of quality starting with the purchase of raw materials and feed.
We often talk about costs in swine production, especially feed costs, but little is said about the impact that the feed mill can have on the farm's performance and profitability.
