Nutrition as an important factor for enhanced welfare
The individual drive in the crushing roller mill revolutionises feed production
The issue of animal welfare in livestock farming has become increasingly important in recent years. Consumers are paying more attention to the conditions under which the animals were kept. The very foundation of animal welfare is already laid during feed production. Manufacturers have to meet a wide range of requirements depending on the animal species and age group. The crushing roller mill, which is already established in the feed industry, now uses a new technology that allows the individual needs of the animals to be taken into account already during feed production.
Anyone who keeps farm animals may only do so in compliance with the standards regulated in the Animal Welfare Act and the Order on the Protection of Animals and the Keeping of Production Animals. It takes the cooperation of all parties involved - politicians, veterinarians and livestock farmers - to achieve the national objective of animal protection that is enshrined in the German Constitution. In the paper "Need for Research and Innovation, Farm Animals", the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture deals with the breeding
objectives in modern livestock farming. Apart from the main performance characteristics such as milk yield and weight gain, they also include animal welfare indicators such as animal health combined with appropriate nutrition and feed conversion - another reason why feed manufacturers are constantly developing new formulae for optimum animal feeding.
In addition to basic physiological factors such as digestion and nutrient requirements of individual animal species and breeds, also the animals' age and their utilization are important. Be it sows in pig or lactating sows, piglets or fattening pigs, turkeys, laying hens, broilers or dual- purpose chickens - their individual needs vary greatly.
At the same time, it is a proven fact that the use of high- quality feed improves the production performance through its infl uence on the well-being of farm animals. Valuable components such as starch and proteins can only be broken down by the animals' digestive enzymes if they have been processed appropriately. Optimal grinding can, among other things, reduce gastrointestinal diseases of numerous farm animals and thus performance losses.
