Myco CURB®

Mold growth in feed and feed ingredients remains a significant challenge in the animal industry. It leads to nutritional loss as molds consume the feed's nutrients, reducing its value and depriving monogastric and ruminant animals of essential nutrients, resulting in poor growth and health. Molds can produce harmful mycotoxins like aflatoxin, T-2 toxin, and zearalenone, which cause severe health issues such as liver damage, weakened immune systems, reproductive problems, and even death. Financial losses are significant due to the need to discard contaminated feed, higher operational costs, and potential loss of customers from widespread complaints. Mold growth often indicates poor feed storage conditions, like high moisture levels and improper aeration, leading to long-term storage issues and necessitating better management practices and costly infrastructure improvements.

Mold inhibitors play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and safety of animal feed. Kemin is among the first to use blended acids for feed preservation. For the past few decades, Kemin’s R&D team has created world-class solutions for mold control and production efficiency in animal feed. Numerous studies conducted over the years have demonstrated the effectiveness of these solutions in retarding mold growth while remaining safe for handling. Kemin also has a dedicated team of engineers responsible for the development and maintenance of applicators used for product application. Kemin Industries South Asia offers the following unique products:

MycoCURB® M3 liquid

MycoCURB® M3 liquid is a comprehensive solution for efficient mold control and milling efficiency benefits in feed production. MycoCURB® M3 liquid is widely used by commercial feed millers and integrators in South Asia. MycoCURB® M3 liquid is a blend of three key ingredients:

• A blend of organic acids like propionic acid, formic acid, and their salts for effective mold control.
• Bioflavonoid for antimicrobial and anti-mold activity.
• CRISP surfactants (Complete Range of Integrated Surfactants for Processing) for superior milling efficiency.

MycoCURB® aWDS liquid

MycoCURB® aWDS liquid is widely used by poultry integrators and commercial feed producers across South Asia for mold control and milling efficiency. MycoCURB® aWDS liquid is a blend of the following:

• A blend of organic acids like propionic acid, formic acid, and their salts for effective mold control.
• Surfactants for superior milling efficiency.

Adonflex™ liquid

Adonflex™ liquid is a surfactant-based product for improving throughput, moisture penetration, and feed milling efficiency. Adonflex™ liquid contains CRISP surfactants (Complete Range of Integrated Surfactants for Processing). The product is primarily used by layer concentrate and broiler feed producers who want to leverage surfactants to improve the operational efficiency of feed production.

KEM WET® M liquid

The inherent inconsistency in texture and the high viscosity of molasses pose a considerable challenge in achieving uniform distribution and seamless mixing in pellet feed. KEM WET® M liquid is an innovative blend of molasses-specific organic acids and surfactants. KEM WET® M liquid reduces the viscosity and surface tension of molasses for its uniform distribution in cattle feed. Kemin's application technology enables the spraying of molasses, which improves its distribution in ruminant feed. The organic acids present in KEM WET® M liquid also offer control over mold challenges.

MycoCURB® Extend Plus liquid

MycoCURB® Extend Plus liquid is made exclusively for mold-free storage of maize in silos and bags. By preventing mold, the product helps to extend the storage life of grains for longer usage. MycoCURB® Extend Plus liquid is a blend of the following key ingredients:

• A blend of organic acids like propionic acid, sorbic acid, and their salts for effective mold control.
• Surfactants for uniform distribution of the product in stored grains.
