IONIZING RADIATION FOR COMPOUND FEED INDUSTRY

It is a high priority for manufacturers of animal feed, additives, enrichment mixtures and various ingredients for animal feeds to ensure longer product shelf life and make sure it is free from bacteria, pathogens and insect pests while preserving the content of vitamins, amino acids and nutrients.

High-quality feed is a guarantee of animal health. Improper processing and storage creates conditions for propagation of pathogens and insects. If pathogens enter animal bodies through polluted food, this can cause infection, and as a result, livestock death.

TECHNOLOGY OF ACCELERATED ELECTRONS
Electron accelerators uses high energy of electrons and X-rays to eliminate pathogens, bacteria, insect pests.
Operating principle of electron accelerator: the accelerator generates and accelerates electrons to the speed of light. These electrons penetrate the product and induce breaks in the DNA of pathogens.
Treatment of animal feed with accelerated electrons ensures full elimination of pests, and can successfully replace fumigation. This type of treatment is effective even if compound feed is heavily contaminated with insects, as well as fungi, bacteria, viruses, moulds that appear due to unfavourable climatic conditions.



DECONTAMINATION OF COMPOUND FEED AND INGREDIENTS

Accelerated electron technology ensures high processing speed.
Products are not heated during processing.

Advantages:
• increased shelf life of animal feed
• destruction of insects and their larvae, pathogens
• reduction of mycotoxins
• lifelong preservation of all nutrients and vitamins

High quality feed is a guarantee of animal health

Up to 0.5 kGy to combat Insect Pests
If there are no pathogens, but only insect pests - accelerated electrons combat the insect pests
Up to 4 kGy to combat pathogens
If there are pathogens, accelerated electrons combat pathogens + insect pests, if any
Over 4 kGy to combat micotoxins
IMPORTANT NOTICE! It is essential to determine the appropriate dose of radiation in order to combat the specific type of pathogen identified in the laboratory and not to damage the valuable vitamins, proteins, and nutrients
PRODUCTION OF FEED INGREDIENTS
USING SAWDUST OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF WOOD

Wood chips, sawdust are
• valuable cellulose raw material for animal feed and ingredients
• source of oligosaccharides and simple sugars (glucose, xylose, etc.)

Farm animals do not digest cellulose well due to its difficult digestibility.
After treatment of wood sawdust with accelerated electrons, the molecular bonds of rough plant raw materials are dissolved to useful micronutrients, and the cellulose is
• depolymerized to oligosaccharides and simple sugars,
• softens and
• well digested by animals


Advantages of producing ingredients using wood sawdust:

• innovative proven technology for the production of a nutritional ingredient for mixed feeds
• increased useful properties of cellulose due to depolymerization to get useful oligosaccharides and simple sugars - glucose, xylose, etc.
• easy digestion by animals
• improved results in livestock breeding

Post-weaned piglets feeding with feed containing sawdust ingredients treated with accelerated electrons
• reduced livestock mortality
• reduced stunting
• increased weight gain in comparison with control animals
• reduced feed consumption per unit of production
