A better bulk bin: Preventing pig feed contamination

Management of feed storage in bulk bins is important to prevent contamination from mold, insects and rodents.Pigs are particularly sensitive to mycotoxins, and producers should be vigilant in identifying and addressing risks such as moisture and feed buildup.

Stored feed is at risk of mold growth, leading to the development of mycotoxins as well as insect and pest damage, which reduces the nutrient density in feed. Management of feed storage in bulk bins is important to prevent this reduction in nutrition. There are several approaches to maintaining quality feed during bulk-bin storage, including:

  • Running bins empty before refilling with new deliveries.

  • Not allowing old feed to accumulate in corners or pipework.

  • Keeping bins in good condition to prevent water ingress.
