With corn production estimated at a record 61-63 million tonnes for MY2025/26, delayed harvesting due to high grain moisture and waterlogged fields is curbing near-term export flow, while soybean meal demand from the global feed industry continues to underpin oilseed trade.
South Africa's farmers are at the back end of harvesting what is widely expected to be a record corn crop.
Ukraine's corn market has stalled as repeated attacks on ports and infrastructure delay shipments, limit ship availability, and weaken buyer interest, traders said on July 20.
Red meat production in Egypt reached 600,000 tonnes, while fresh milk production stood at 7 million tonnes.
The platform consolidates nutrient composition data from multiple established global reference databases into a single tool, allowing nutritionists to compare ingredient values and upload their own datasets in a secure environment.
Mycotoxins remain one of the most persistent and complex challenges facing global livestock and feed production. Produced by naturally occurring molds, these toxic compounds can contaminate crops before harvest, during storage or throughout feed manufacturing, often without obvious visual signs.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain types of fungi, primarily molds, that can contaminate food and feed crops. These toxins are naturally occurring and can pose significant health risks to humans and animals if consumed in sufficient quantities.
Fungal contamination of crops and production of toxic secondary metabolites (mycotoxins) are the inevitable issues throughout the world, mainly in the developing countries. These toxins associated with adverse effects on animals, humans and crops, result in health issues and economic losses.
Aflatoxins (AF) are a group of mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus molds. Aflatoxins can be produced both in the field while the crop is under growth as well as during harvesting, storage and transport of raw materials and animal feeds.
The aim of livestock diets is fulfill the nutrient needs of an animal, while maintaining its good health.
