Fungal and Yeast Issues in Liquid Feed

Liquid feed for pigs can be a breeding ground for fungi and yeast, especially with improper storage and processing. This can lead to:
• Food Safety Risks: Fungi can produce mycotoxins that are harmful to pigs, resulting in health problems such as reduced growth, reproductive issues, and increased disease burden.
• Reduced Feed Quality: The presence of fungi and yeast can reduce the nutritional value of liquid feed, leading to poorer feed intake and conversion, and lower productivity.
• Poor Fermentation: Disruptions in the fermentation process caused by fungi and yeast can spoil the liquid feed and reduce its effectiveness.

Solutions and Prevention:
• Optimal Storage Conditions: Store liquid feed in a dry, cool place with adequate ventilation to prevent fungal and yeast growth.
• Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect liquid feed for signs of fungal or yeast growth and immediately remove contaminated batches.
• Feed Additives: Use additives such as fungal and yeast inhibitors to suppress unwanted microorganisms.
• Hygiene: Maintain strict hygiene procedures during the processing and storage of liquid feed to prevent contamination.

By taking these measures, problems caused by fungi and yeast in liquid feed for pigs can be minimized, contributing to the health and performance of the pigs.

Heat Stress in Pigs

Heat stress in pigs can lead to serious welfare and economic problems. The average temperature in the Low Countries is expected to rise by 0.7 to 5 degrees by the end of the century, exacerbating the impact of heat stress. Pigs, which rely on breathing for heat loss due to their limited sweat glands and thick fat layer, experience increased body temperature and breathing rates in hot weather. This reduces their feed intake and growth, and in severe cases, can lead to increased mortality.

Heat stress is influenced by ambient temperature, relative humidity, air speed, radiant heat, and factors such as genetics and barn design. The Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) combines temperature and humidity to predict heat stress. A THI above 75 indicates increased risks, and values above 84 result in significant effects. During hot summer days with high humidity, for example above 85%, extra attention should be given to heat stress prevention.
