Feed mold contamination is a major concern in poultry farming, leading to nutrient loss and health risks. This study evaluates the effectiveness of sealed feed bins in controlling mold development under practical farm conditions.
A comparative trial was conducted over 90 days in two identical broiler houses. House A used conventional open feed storage, while House B was equipped with airtight sealed feed bins. Feed samples were collected weekly from both systems and analyzed for moisture content and mold colony count.
Results showed that feed stored in sealed bins maintained significantly lower moisture levels (11.2% ± 0.3%) compared to open storage (13.8% ± 0.5%). Mold counts in sealed bins averaged 1.2 × 10³ CFU/g, well below the safety threshold, whereas open storage exceeded 4.5 × 10⁴ CFU/g after 60 days.
These findings confirm that sealed feed bins effectively reduce moisture ingress and inhibit mold proliferation, thereby preserving feed quality and reducing health risks. Investment in sealed bins is a practical intervention for modern poultry operations aiming to enhance feed safety and farm productivity.

Quantitative Assessment of Dynamic Feed Adjustment in Reducing Overfeeding and Underfeeding
Dynamic feed adjustment tailors daily feed amounts to match broilers’ actual growth curves and real-time intake patterns. This study quantifies its effect on reducing overfeeding and underfeeding in a 10,000‑bird flock. Overfeeding occurs when feed supply exceeds birds’ needs, increasing feed conversion ratio (FCR) and fat deposition. Underfeeding limits growth and causes flock unevenness. Using…
