#H5N1 updates on food supply/safety: Both the #beef and #milk supply is safe. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) tested ground beef samples from retailers. Bottomline: No viral particles were present! They will continue ongoing testing and research. https://lnkd.in/eDx5QDJn The FDA evaluated more samples including cottage cheese, sour cream, and fluid milk The results reaffirm previous results that the milk supply is safe and has no live virus using gold-standard methods! #Pasteurization is effective! https://lnkd.in/ew_cYwyM

Heading to the Poultry Science Association meeting in Louisville U.S. On Wednesday, we will be presenting novel insights from collaborative research on the adaptation of chickens to calcium deficiency and excess in the context of phytase use. Turns out, the theoretical contribution of calcium by phytase can only be measured as changes in digestibility during a brief window - when birds are truly calcium deficient and before they activate other adaptation mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. BIOFRACTAL´s pathway activation methods are being used to answer all sort of applied research questions in animal nutrition and health. Transcriptomics is really like opening the hood of a car and seeing how it all works. It is truly rewarding that these insights are not only accelerating the development of novel innovative solutions, but also helping to get the best value from the solutions that are available now. If you are at PSA, let´s have a chat! #animalnutrition #animalhealth #precisionfarming BIOFRACTAL

For years, the baking world has relied on high protein content as a key indicator of good quality bread. While it's generally true, there's more to the equation.🤔🥯 Our analysis of 14 years' worth of USDA data lead us to a remarkable insight. We've identified a gap in wheat selection based solely on protein percentage. ⬇️Check out the chart!📊 The bars represent two loaf types: high-quality(greater volume after baking) and low-quality. In the most common protein range on the grain market (11-14%), protein levels don't predict loaf quality. In that percentage area, you can see they reach a similar baking volume. This shows that there are other hidden factors influencing baking success. The industry requires more parameters to define those qualities. That's where Equinom comes in!🤓Leveraging our expertise in plant breeding and data analytics, we've developed advanced projection models that go beyond protein measurements. This enables us to optimize wheat varieties for exceptional performance.🌟 Want to learn more about our pioneering work in redefining wheat quality?
