Dairy cattle feed in Southeast Asia in All About Feed 1
The latest edition of All About Feed is now available online. We consider studies on the fermentation characteristics of commonly used feedstuffs in Southeast Asia, and look at the effect of partial replacement of soybean oil by insect oil in broiler diets. Also, a global aquaculture and fisheries outlook, and an interview about a new dashboard that gives timely identification of safety hazards in feed. This and more in this latest edition.
The global aquaculture and fisheries outlook
It is reported that by the FAO that global aquaculture and fisheries production reached its highest level in 2022, with aquaculture production of aquatic animals surpassing capture fisheries for the first time in history.
Evaluation of dairy cattle feed ingredients in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asian countries are facing a significant milk deficit, as the dairy industry in the region is unable to produce enough milk to meet the growing demand. To address this issue, researchers from Wageningen University & Research conducted studies on the fermentation characteristics of commonly used feedstuffs in Southeast Asia.

In this interview with All About Feed, Prof Ine van der Fels-Klerx, a researcher at Wageningen Food Safety Research and Special professor of Food Safety Economics, Department of Business Economics at Wageningen University, talks about a dashboard that provides predictions on the occurrence of hazards in feed ingredients.
Using organoids to evaluate the effect of toxins on S. Suis translocation
Fusarium mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol frequently contaminate pig diets, often co-occurring with others like T-2 toxin. These toxins weaken the intestinal barrier, consequently raising infection risks. A study explored their effects on Streptococcus suis translocation using organoid models.
Damage and mitigation strategies for the T-2 toxin in laying hens
Researchers have provided an overview of the problems associated with trichothecene mycotoxins in laying hen production, focusing on the Fusarium fungi-derived T-2 toxin and its toxicological effects on performance and egg quality.
Bühler opens new facility to drive innovation and collaboration
Technology group Bühler has opened its new Grain Innovation Centre in Uzwil, Switzerland, designed to drive innovation and collaboration. All About Feed spoke with key team members during a visit to the centre to discuss the opportunities it offers and the role it plays in shaping the future of the industry.
Column: US animal feed industry sees opportunities with new Washington partnership
Columnist Constance Cullman, American Feed Industry Association president and CEO, speaks about modernised regulation at a federal level in the US, global trade and supply chains, and how the US feed industry will remain a vital part of the country’s agri sector.
Partial replacement of soybean oil by insect oil in broiler diets
In a broiler field study, 1% of soybean oil was replaced with black soldier fly oil. Growth performance of the broilers, litter quality, welfare, carcass quality and slaughter yields were analysed.
Impact of pre- and probiotics on dogs’ health
As of 2024, there are approximately 470 million pet dogs in the world. Dog owners pay special attention to food ingredients and quality to improve the health and welfare of their dogs. This article discusses the impact of dietary prebiotics and probiotics on dogs’ health.
Animal feed demand in EU set to decline
The EU Agricultural Outlook 2024-2035 report says the demand for animal feed in the EU is projected to decline over the next 10 years due to reductions in the EU production of pigmeat and beef, and a decline in the dairy herd.
Column: EUDR delay; using the time wisely
Columnist Martine Boon, managing director of GMP+ International, writes about the importance of approaching the postponement of the implementation of the European Union Deforestation-free Regulation (EURD) with a strategic mindset.
