The Feed Science Podcast Show - #22 - Translating feed safety research into real-world production

In this episode, I welcomed Dr. Fernando Sampedro, a renowned food safety and risk analysis expert from the University of Minnesota. Our conversation focused on the critical issues at the forefront of feed safety, including strategies to inactivate viruses like African Swine Fever and the impact of temperature and humidity on ingredient quality. Dr. Sampedro shared his insights on the significance of multidisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing how knowledge from food science can improve feed safety procedures. 

What you’ll learn:

• Difference between hazard and risk
• Calculating potential risk concentration in feed
• Feed mill moisture management and liquid ingredients' effect on moisture
• Changes in ingredient manufacturers' processes: extended quarantine of products
• Research on potential chemical treatments
• Virus survival, risk assessment, and virus inactivation
• Translating research into real-world high-capacity production
