La eficiencia alimenticia es uno de los aspectos más importantes para el éxito en la porcicultura. Por lo que, para lograr una producción rentable y sostenible, es clave tener en cuenta que la genética, la nutrición y el manejo de la alimentación influyen en la forma en que los cerdos transforman el alimento en peso corporal. ¿Qué factores influyen en la eficiencia alimenticia y qué prácticas se pueden adoptar para mejorar la productividad y reducir la huella ambiental?

When we think about productivity, we usually focus on what happens above ground, from the leaves and canopy to fruits and final crop yields. But the real foundation of a healthy crop and profitable farming is the microbial environment underneath. Soil is a living natural resource, balancing air, water, organic matter and billions of microorganisms that enable soil to function as the foundation for plants and animals alike.

Summary: Aquaculture continues to play an increasingly important role in the global food supply. The continued expansion of the aqua industry depends on adopting sustainable production models. Producers are moving away from linear systems based on resource extraction and waste and, instead, are moving toward circular systems that emphasize material reuse and resource efficiency.

[LEXINGTON, Kentucky] — The Alltech Celebration of Song returns for its 20th anniversary this December, doubling the joy with two public performances on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park. This year, the concert also serves as a bookend event to 250LEX, Lexington’s yearlong celebration of the 250th anniversary of the city’s founding.

Open, science-based dialogue remains one of the most powerful tools animal agriculture has for driving sustainability progress. This message was front and center during a Protein PACT panel at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech, emphasized the value of bringing many perspectives to the table.

The Alltech 2025 Harvest Analysis is already uncovering a concerning picture across global feed ingredients, with early results indicating elevated mycotoxin threats in several key regions. Mycotoxin analysis data from Europe, North America and Canada shows a rising prevalence of multiple mycotoxin groups, shaped by volatile weather, crop stress and regional disease pressure.

For anyone involved with pork production, the impact of the seasons on productivity and well-being is unmistakable. While hot months are characterized by lethargy, lower feed intake and reduced fertility, during colder months animals burn extra energy to regulate their body temperature. Also, new crops pose the risk of mycotoxin contamination, and a sudden blizzard can derail even the best-laid plans.

Mikotoksinler nedir? Mikotoksinler, mantar veya küf tarafından üretilen ikincil metabolitlerdir. Görünmez, kararlı ve toksik kimyasal bileşiklerdir. Mantarlar ve küfler her yerde bulunabildiğinden, mikotoksin bulaşma riski her zaman mevcuttur. Mantarlar; iklim, biyolojik etkenler, havalandırma, nem oranı, sıcaklık ve mikrobiyal popülasyon gibi çevresel koşullardan kaynaklanan tehditlerle karşılaştıklarında mikotoksin üretirler.

[HELMOND, Netherlands] — Alltech Coppens in Nettetal, Germany, and Alltech Fennoaqua in Raisio, Finland, are driving positive change by becoming the first feed mills in their respective countries to achieve certification under the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Feed Standard.

Like any food, pet food carries safety risks, including contamination from foreign material, pathogens like Salmonella, and mycotoxins. Produced by molds, mycotoxins are toxic compounds that can harm pets even at low levels. Pet food manufacturers face the same biological, chemical and physical hazards seen in human food processing.
