Quick answer:<\/strong> Store feed pellets in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, off the floor on pallets and away from walls, sunlight and rain. Use feed within the recommended period (often a few weeks to a few months), rotate stock first-in first-out, seal open bags or use bins, and control rodents and insects. Discard feed that smells musty or shows mould.<\/p>\n

Why storage matters in Malaysia<\/h2>\n

High heat and humidity speed up mould growth and fat rancidity. Mouldy feed can contain mycotoxins that reduce growth, milk and fertility, so good storage protects both animals and profit.<\/p>\n
