Animal Feed Mill Biosecurity

Were analyzed the working conditions in a small feed mill, with identification of occupational risks (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and accidents) and measurement of noise levels. Data collection was performed qualitatively by using a survey, previously developed, as well as in loco observation. There was at least one factor belonging to the five occupational risks, and the ergonomic risk was associated with all activities. The feed mill assessed was not in accordance with the Regulatory Standards related to Health and Safety, and arrangements to adjust it accordingly must be taken. Corrective actions goes from the purchase and supply of appropriate personal protective equipment for worker to structural changes, such as installing handrails and repairing of electrical installations. These initiatives, if implemented could contribute to reducing the risks that affect the health and physical integrity, with opportunities to improve quality and productivity of the services performed.

Feed Mill

Corn commodity has a strategic role whose demand continues to increase for industrial needs, especially the animal feed industry. The high fluctuations in corn prices occur because a balanced supply has not accompanied the increasing demand for corn. The study aimed to analyze the integration of the maize market at the feed mill level with the maize market at the farmer and global levels. The method used is quantitative with secondary data. Data analysis using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results show that the corn market in the long term at the feed mill level is integrated with the corn market at the farmer and global levels. However, only corn markets at the farmer level are integrated with feed mills in the short term.Komoditas jagung memiliki peranan strategis yang permintaannya terus meningkat untuk kebutuhan industri, khususnya industri pakan ternak. Fluktuasi harga jagung yang tinggi terjadi karena permintaan jagung yang meningkat belum diiringi dengan penawaran yang seimbang. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis integrasi pasar jagung di tingkat pabrik pakan dengan pasar jagung di tingkat petani dan dunia. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan data sekunder. Analisis data menggunakan Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pasar jagung dalam jangka panjang di tingkat pabrik pakan terintegrasi dengan pasar jagung di tingkat petani dan dunia. Namun, dalam jangka pendek hanya pasar jagung di tingkat petani yag terintegrasi dengan pabrik pakan.

Feed Mill

Raw materials used in feed manufacture are contaminated with high (>104cfu/g) levels of enterobacteriaceae indicating the potential for contamination with pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella (Woodet al.2001). There is urgent need to reduce the contamination of animal feed with zoonoses such as salmonella and campylobacter. During manufacture of feedingstuffs, heat and moisture are used to process and sterilise feed but this can also provide conditions for microbial growth. High temperature treatment used to sterilise feed will not protect feedingstuffs from recontamination, if residual microbial contamination remains in the feed mill. It is essential to understand the influence of feed processing and the feed mill environment on the microbial contamination of feed.

Feed Mill

In animal feed production, there are several feed products to be processed through mixer and pelleting machines. To avoid the contamination between two feed products, machines are required to be cleaned (i.e., machine setup) when switching production between different feed products. The cleaning process lessens the machine capacity. In this paper, the production planning based on the collaboration between two feed plants is studied in order to reduce unnecessary machine setup time. The problem is to optimally allocate products to be processed in each plant with suitable production lot size. The trade-off between inter-plant transferring cost and the setup cost is considered. The mathematical model is developed and solved with small size problems. The results indicate that the collaborative plan provides the better plan with the cost 16.05% less than the non-collaborative production plan.

The study was carried out to compare growth performance results among broiler chicks placed on probioticfortified animal feed (G3), Feed Mill of Nigeria starter mash (G1) (conventional feed) and cornmeal (G2) diets. A total of thirty 1-day-old mixed-sex Agricol broiler chicks were randomized into three groups of 10 chicks each and placed on 600g (300g morning, 300g evening) of the respective diets. Feeding test was carried out for the duration of four weeks. The chicks were weighed weekly and data collected was statistically analyzed using a one-way Analysis of variance to check for significant differences in weight among groups. From data analyzed, chicks in groups G3 – probiotic-fortified feed and G1 – Feed Mill of Nigeria starter mash, showed no significant difference in parameters (weight) analyzed (p<0.05) and performed better in comparison to chicks placed on cornmeal diet (G2). This study shows that probiotic-fortified feed can be used as a substitute to conventionally-produced feed and yield similar growth performance without the use of feed additives which have adverse effects on animals being fed.
