  • Factors like climate change, focus on reduction of waste, legislations and social media transparency have lead to the need for feed safety management.
  • Tropical countries like India face the challenge of safe storage conditions for feed raw materials.  Hot and humid conditions present an intensified mould challenge in raw materials.
  • Integrated solution of products, services and technical know-how is required at all the levels of value chain in feed production to tackle the problem of feed safety.
  • Products like Fylax Forte and TOXO help in feed safety management by ensuring that both mould and aflatoxins are controlled.
  • Services like NutriOpt, Mycomaster and laboratory analysis at MasterLab for quick and reliable analysis of raw materials and feed are essential to monitor mould and aflatoxin levels.

Dr Sabiha Kadari, Technical Support Manager, Trouw Nutrition India talked about the concepts to improve gut health.  Key points of her presentation are:

  • Breeders are highly sensitive birds and currently the major problem being faced are summer stress and gut health related issues.
  • Good integrity of gut coupled with balanced microflora contributes to optimal gut health.
  • Efficient gut health promoting concepts includes use of organic acids – small chain fatty acids (SCFA), medium chain fatty acids (MCFA).
  • Products like Selacid Green which have a synergistic blend of free and buffered SCFA, and MCFA help to reduce stomach pH, maintain stable intestinal microbiota and improve overall gut health.
  • Water quality should also be looked at to ensure good gut health.  Selko pH, which is a synergistic blend of free organic acids, helps to stabilize water pH and improves intestinal health.
