Global animal feed volumes reached 1.07 billion metric tons in 2017 — growing by 2.57 percent over 2016 production, according to Alltech’s 2018 Global Feed Survey. The seventh edition of the animal nutrition and feed company’s annual report gathers its data from international feed associations and more than 31,000 feed mills around the world.

Russia saw the largest regional growth in animal feed production in 2017, according to Alltech’s 2018 Global Feed Survey. Africa also has seen rapid growth in recent years, the survey found. With 19 percent growth in the past year, Russia jumped from the seventh largest feed-producing region.

The rise of the “prosumer,” a proactive or professional consumer, has driven the food industry toward new levels of transparency. Prosumers act as brand advocates — or detractors, depending on the circumstances — and make buying decisions based on their “ethics, beliefs and aspirations.”

Optigen® is an innovative ingredient that provides a controlled release of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) to the rumen over time. This ensures that rumen bacteria have continued access to this essential food source, leading to an increase in microbial protein, fiber digestion and available energy for milk and meat production.
In ruminant production systems, 75–95% of the dietary nitrogen consumed as feed protein is excreted. This nitrogen is wasted because ruminants are generally unable to use nitrogen efficiently, and this has a major impact on animal performance, profitability and the environment.
Under common feeding practices, there are periods of excess followed by periods of deficiency regarding rumen ammonia levels. This is particularly evident when the diet is supplemented with urea or fat-coated urea products, which release ammonia in the rumen all at once. Excess rumen ammonia is wasteful and potentially toxic, as it can lead to elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels and, subsequently, milk urea nitrogen (MUN) levels. On the other hand, when there is a deficit of rumen ammonia for a considerable amount of time, the rumen bacteria don’t have access to this food source required for growth and, as a result, productivity slows down.
The controlled and continual supply of ruminal ammonia provided by Optigen serves to meet the nitrogen needs of rumen microbes more effectively than other sources, such as straight feed urea. This leads to more efficient use of dietary nitrogen, an increase in the microbial protein supplied to the animal and reduced nitrogen excretion.
Recently published Optigen meta-analyses in dairy and beef cattle highlight production efficiency gains which directly translate into a significant reduction in carbon footprint!

Economase™ is a proprietary blend of ingredients that maximizes and maintains the antioxidant status of the animal.
Researchers at the Alltech® Center for Animal Nutrigenomics and Applied Animal Nutrition found that feeding certain antioxidants in conjunction with lower vitamin E levels optimizes feed conversion in animals. Economase offers a new opportunity to maximize animal performance, manage costs and protect your profitability.

Synergen is a product of the solid state fermentation of Aspergillus niger. Synergen allows for a more flexible approach to feed formulation through the inclusion of byproducts or by reducing nutrient constraints in the diet. It has also been shown, through animal performance, to remain effective over a wide range of feed processing conditions.
