KEY INSIGHTS

What you'll take away

01

Enzymes unlock value

Xylanases and debranching enzymes unlock nutrients trapped in variable raw materials.

02

Characterization beats specs

Better ingredient characterization beats tighter specs - analytics over assumptions.

03

Process control compounds

Mixing uniformity and particle size control compound with ingredient quality.

04

Variability is the constant

Formulation strategy must absorb variability, not fight it.

05

Data-driven QC

Data-driven QC turns ingredient inconsistency from a problem into a managed input.

Tackling Raw Material Variability in Swine Diets

SWINE

In swine operations, raw material variability significantly impacts nutrition and performance, leading to challenges in maintaining consistent feed quality.

Enzyme supplementation offers a strategic approach to counteract the effects of raw...

Enzyme Mix in Gestating Sow Diets - Crome & Petry Research

SWINE

Research by Thomas Crome and Dr. Amy Petry found that adding a single organism enzyme mix to gestating sow diets improved nutrient efficiency and reduced inflammation. In a study with 36 sows, this enzyme solution increased metabolizable...

Quality of Carbohydrate Feedstuffs in Swine Diets

SWINE

A well-balanced, solid, and efficient nutrition program is a key factor in producing the best quality pork in any swine operation. Carbohydrates from cereal grains, oil seed meals, and their byproducts (e.g. barley, corn, oats, DDGS, and...
