Quality control is essential for feed manufacturers striving to ensure ingredients and finished products meet expectations and deliver consistent performance. Good specification design, continuous feedback, and effective formulation software all play critical roles in minimizing risks—from poor performance and animal harm to reputational damage and lost profitability. In this article, Ian Mealey, Product Marketing for Formulation at Datacor Inc, discusses how modern formulati

In modern egg production, success is often judged at peak lay or later in the cycle. Yet mounting evidence from applied research shows that the most decisive period for lifetime performance occurs much earlier — during the transition from rearing to laying. The onset of egg production represents one of the most biologically demanding and economically sensitive phases in a hen’s life. Within a short timeframe, the bird must complete structural growth while activating a highly

Understanding the Importance of Pellet Cooler Design The design of a pellet cooler plays a crucial role in the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process. An effective cooler not only preserves the quality of the pellets but also contributes significantly to operational costs. By focusing on the cooler's design and operation, manufacturers can unlock substantial savings. The Financial Drain of Inefficient Airflow Cooling is essentially a process of air-based heat exchang
