Feed mildew and detoxification

Moldy feed is caused by mold. If the raw materials are not dried after harvesting and the humidity is suitable, the feed will be sore. It is important to note that even in the low temperature season, as long as the feed storage environment is wet, or the water content of the feed exceeds the standard, mildew will occur. In addition, poor ventilation in the warehouse and water leakage are also the cause of moldy feed. When feeding livestock and poultry, it will cause mildew when it is added too much and accumulated for too long. ZFs China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

After the mold is mildewed, its physical and chemical properties will change. Among the metabolites of moldy feed, aflatoxin is the most harmful. When livestock and poultry feed on moldy feed, they will be infected with mycosis, showing loss of appetite or loss of food, mental illness, growth inhibition, reduced yield, weakness, anemia and various serious complications, and even death. At the same time, its toxins can indirectly endanger human health through livestock and poultry products. Therefore, the warehouse where the feed is kept should be dry and clean, and the bottom of the feed should have a bottom, and a space should be left and around to allow air to circulate. Generally there are the following anti-mildew methods: 1. Anoxic and mildewproof. In the rainy season, the storage feed is sealed with a plastic bag to inhibit mold growth. 2. Acetate mildew. Mix with 2 parts of acetic acid and 1 part of sodium acetate, add 1% sorbitol and mix well. After drying, mix it into the feed at a ratio of 1%. It will not be moldy after more than 90 days of storage. 3. Calcium propionate (sodium) is mildewproof. Add 50g of sodium propionate or 100g of calcium propionate per kilogram of feed and mix well. Store in wooden barrel, cement pool or plastic bag, valid for more than 100 days. 4. The mold is mildewproof. Add 500 grams of mold to each ton of ingredients, no mildew in two months, no agglomeration. ZFs China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry
