Strategies of mold control in dairy feeds.
Mold growth can occur in dairy feeds only when nutrients are available, correct temperatures exist, oxygen is present, and unbound water is available. Because elimination of any one of these four factors prevents mold growth, management of feed that accounts for these elements is essential. Use of multiple ingredient mold inhibitors recently has become another tool for affecting successful microbiological control of feed.
