The Barnes family of Alma Bank Farm, near Oakham, have endured six tumultuous years since selling their old farm in nearby Somerby, with planning permission for housing, and building a greenfield dairy unit in the middle of their land.

Since switching from spring to autumn calving – while growing the herd from 150 to 290 cows, building a new unit and selling their old one – they have also been hit by two droughts, a two-year delay to building at Somerby, “B” prices for milk during Covid, a bovine TB breakdown and falling milk prices.

Feed Strategy: Emerging mycotoxins are prevalent, but what are the risks?

Submitted by jnorrie on Thu, 11/09/2023 - 18:37

Emerging mycotoxins were detected in more than 95% of samples analyzed by Alltech between January and August 2023. What are emerging mycotoxins, what risks do they pose and why are they so prevalent?

Emerging mycotoxins are those that are not routinely monitored or studied, and are not subject to regulations or guidance levels in feed materials. However, according to experts, evidence of their incidence is rapidly increasing, and researchers and regulatory authorities are gaining interest in them.

Allzyme Spectrum®

Submitted by sburke on Mon, 10/16/2023 - 16:33

Improved efficiency and greater savings for poultry diets

Diet composition and NSP diversity and variability will help determine which enzyme solution is right for each production system. Multiple substrates require multiple enzymes, so it’s crucial to look at the overall poultry diet instead of focusing on single ingredients. Choosing an enzyme complex that targets multiple substrates gets the most out of the complete diet.

Following intensive research over the past few years, Alltech has improved its enzyme technology even further with the introduction of Allzyme Spectrum®, a next-generation multi-enzyme complex that maximizes nutrient utilization by breaking down multiple fiber substrates in the diet.
