Feed costs are a crucial factor in trout farms. For farmers endeavoring to maximize profitability, improving feed management is an essential consideration. The introduction of cork-enriched feed has been tested in the previous studies, which focused the technological and environmental...

Antimicrobial use in animal agriculture contributes to antimicrobial resistance in humans, which imposes significant health and economic costs on society. These costs are negative externalities. We review the relevant literature and develop a model to quantify the external costs of antimicrobial...

Purpose: Islamic concept of food consumption for human beings is derived from the term Tayyib which depicts both food safety and quality. Unlike the humans, though animals are not bound to any code of practice, yet with reference to the food animals their diet seeks the attention of Islamic...

Introduction -- A deep history of the Humboldt Current ecosystem -- The new industrial ecology of animal farming in the Atlantic and Pacific worlds, 1840-1930 -- Protein from the sea : the "nutrition problem" and the industrialization of fishing in Chile and Peru -- The golden anchoveta : the...

The animal feed to poultry value chain in the southern African region has seen rapid demand growth owing to increases in urbanization. This growth has been accompanied by the increase in coordinated investments by large, predominantly South African, firms across the region. We examine the...

Sustainable feed formulation (defined here as nutritional and economic feed optimization) is substantial in feed chain production from crop farmers to livestock producers. Diet formulation employing a static linear programming (LP) approach, which is widely used in trading firms and feed...

Rapid population growth, urbanization, and income growth are triggering increased demand for high-value agricultural products across Southern Africa with scope for gains from trade and regional integration. We analyse the animal feed to poultry value chain in Zambia focusing on the industry...

Rohwaren werden in den Ketten der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft international beschafft. Mangelhafte Transparenz innerhalb der Wertschöpfungskette ist kennzeichnend für die Beschaffungssituation, mit der viele Unternehmen konfrontiert sind. Oft besteht nur wenig Vertrauen in...

Antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal agriculture contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans, which imposes significant health and economic costs on society. Economists call these costs negative externalities, societal costs that are not properly reflected in market prices. We review...

The antimicrobials usage in food-producing animals has affected public health with the development of antibiotic resistance. The annual societal costs related to antibiotic resistance are significant. Preserving the effectiveness of the current antibiotics is important as this can incentivize...

Both the world milk price and the world feed price have become more volatile during the last 7-8 years. The ability of dairy farmers to adapt quickly to these changing circumstances will be a key driver for future success, considering that feed is the major cost component in milk production and...

Feed conversion ratio (FCR), which is used as a description of growth as a function of feed intake, depends mainly on the feeding rate but also on temperature. The estimation of the FCR is simple; however, the practical application of this ratio is limited to cases in which fish are fed beyond...

A collaborative study, IMEP-32, was conducted in accordance with international protocols to determine the performance characteristics of an analytical method for the determination of inorganic arsenic in animal feed of marine origin. The method would support Directive No 2002/32/EC of the...

This pocketbook provides the reader with information on how the food chain evolves in Europe; it presents a range of statistical indicators for each step of this chain from the farm to the fork, passing from production on the farm, through food processing, to logistical activities such as...

Volume I of this series compiles the science-based consensus documents of the OECD Task Force for the Safety of Novel Foods and Feeds from 2002 to 2008. They contain information for use during the regulatory assessment of food/feed products of modern biotechnology, i.e. developed from transgenic...

This Pocketbook provides the reader with statistical information on how the food chain evolves in Europe; it gives different indicators for each step of the production-consumption chain, including food and feed. Its aim is to give a summary of the data currently available in the 'Food: from farm...

A computer model called FeedMod was created in 2009 to improve the European Commission’s ability to understand the feed consumption of raw materials in the EU 27. In 2014, a new version of this model has been proposed; the main improvements are: a. Nutritional parameters have been updated using...
