Focus on Feed for Virus Transmission African swine fever (ASF) prevention is mostly about blocking introduction routes. Feed is one route to manage because research shows ASFV can remain infectious in certain ingredients during simulated long-distance shipping, making “feed biosecurity”
Feed isn’t just “nutrition” in an African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) conversation. It’s a sole input that: (1) touches nearly every site (2) moves through the most hands (3) is guaranteed to be consumed That combination creates a different kind of risk. Not a single dramatic breach, but a
Every feed miller knows the sound of a plant running just right — that steady hum from the pellet press, steam hissing at the right pressure and the feed flowing clean through the cooler. When everything clicks, tons roll off the line, pellets stay strong and energy costs stay under
Moisture control can make or break feed quality. Too much moisture invites molds and bacteria that destroy both safety and value. Too little creates brittle, dusty pellets that animals won't eat—tanking performance. For mill operators and nutritionists, moisture monitoring isn't optional.
The rendering industry stands at the forefront of waste-to-value initiatives in sustainable agriculture, transforming animal by-products into valuable resources while delivering significant economic and environmental benefits. Recent research demonstrates that rendering consistently
In the quest for sustainable and nutritious animal feed, rendering has emerged as one of agriculture's most valuable yet underappreciated processes. This centuries-old practice transforms what would otherwise be waste into high-quality protein sources that support both environmental
