Material supply, utilization and labeling connections between human and pet food: 👉 You could lead the development of a #food_waste strategy based on a good understanding of the interconnection between human food and pet food. 👉Does your (meat, grain, cereal, etc.) processing operation ship usable food processing wastes to pet food processing facilities?

What Is the Ideal Time to Introduce a Pan Feeder to Chicks? Understanding Feeder Access Measurements: - The standard measurement for pan feeder access (A + B) is 6 cm, equating to chick access from the 3rd day onwards. - When A + B exceeds 6 cm, add 2 days/cm for chicks to comfortably eat. - Example: A + B = 7 cm results in a 5-day wait before introducing chicks to the pan feeder. - This ensures young chicks can easily reach and consume food without difficulty. - Vigilance during feeder transitions can impact flock health and growth significantly. #PoultryFarming #ChickGrowth #FeedingManagement #AgriculturalScien

How to Control Rodents Inside the Home: -Keep food and water covered and stored in rodent-proof containers. A rodent-proof container is made of thick plastic, glass, or metal and has a tight-fitting lid. -Keep pet food covered and stored in rodent-proof containers. Allow pets only enough food for each meal, then store or throw out any remaining food. Do not leave excess pet food or water out overnight. -Dispose of garbage on a frequent and regular basis. If storing trash and food waste inside the home, do so in rodent-proof containers. -Wash dishes, pans, and cooking utensils immediately after use. Remove leftover food and clean up any spilled food from cooking and eating areas. -Do not store empty cans or other opened containers with food residues inside the home. -When possible, use spring-loaded traps in the home and outside buildings. Use a small amount of chunky peanut butter or other available food as bait. (Remember – you are more likely to be successful trapping rodents if your home is free of other easily accessible food items.) Place traps in a “T” shape against baseboards or wall surfaces where rodent rub marks, droppings, or rodents have been seen. Keep children and pets away from areas where traps are placed. -Glue traps and live traps are not recommended. Glue traps mainly catch juvenile rodents, not breeding adults. Rodents caught in live traps and released will likely reenter the home. Caught this one early this morning. #integratedpestmanagement #cleanhome #professionalcleaningservices
