Feed Navigator: How nutritional solutions can enhance broiler productivity and environmental sustainability

Submitted by jnorrie on Mon, 09/19/2022 - 15:11

Mycotoxins present an ever-increasing challenge to global agriculture. Contamination of feedstuffs by these naturally produced compounds impacts crop and feed quality, animal health, farm productivity and overall business profitability. Different management methods can be employed to counteract the mycotoxin effects on animal production. One proven method is the use of in-feed nutritional solutions, such as yeast cell wall extract (YCWE), that are designed to bind or adsorb mycotoxins and remove them from the animal’s digestive tract before they have a chance to cause serious harm.
