Ensuring feed hygiene to optimize production results
Maximizing feed potential through liquid feed hygiene management
Liquid feed hygiene: a performance driver in pig production
Liquid feed hygiene is a key driver of both zootechnical and economic performance in pig farming. Indeed, the presence of undesirable microorganisms such as coliforms, yeasts, and molds, or pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens), can rapidly degrade the quality of liquid feed, thereby compromising animal health and the technical and economic results of the farm.
Microbiological balance: a key factor in stability
The microbiological balance of liquid feed depends primarily on the presence or absence of fermented residues in the feeding system and on biofilm. Undesirable fermentations can lead to microbial imbalances, alter the characteristics of the feed, and impact the performance of fattening pigs. It varies depending on the distribution systems and feeding practices.
Consequences of contaminations: acidification, toxins, and performance losses
These contaminations can encourage uncontrolled acidification (presence of acetic acid and ethanol produced by yeast or mycotoxins via mold), toxin production (linked to the presence of enterobacteria), or the degradation of the feed’s nutritional value (degradation of amino acids and formation of biogenic amines). As a result, poor liquid feed quality can lead to reduced feed intake, diarrhea, or enterotoxemia.
Controlling microbiological parameters to secure feed quality
Rigorous control of microbiological parameters — pH, total bacterial load, and the balance between beneficial flora (such as lactobacilli) and contaminants — helps ensure feed efficacy while reducing health risks.
In European markets, where competitiveness goes hand in hand with increased demands for biosecurity, sustainability, and reduced use of antibiotics, this control becomes a strategic differentiator. How can we guarantee a liquid feed of consistent quality that is healthy and appetizing, while controlling costs in a sustainable manner?
Optimizing liquid feeds with Noli BL
Noli BL is a biocontrol solution aimed at improving the bacteriological quality of liquid feed, liquid feeding systems and circuits in pig farming. It is based on a unique complex of bacteria selected for their synergistic and complementary action, and promotes the formation of a beneficial biofilm in liquid feeding systems machines and systems all the way to the trough. By exerting a beneficial influence on the microbial balance of the systems, Noli BL helps to improve liquid feeding system hygiene in a lasting manner.
