Pathogens are microorganisms that cause illness. Feed is a fomite for microorganisms, including bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Clostridia and E. coli, as well as viruses such as Avian Influenza, African Swine Fever, Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea and Porcine Reproductive and
Last month, Dr. Nikki W. Shariat and Dr. Kristina M. Feye (along with their co-authors) published a groundbreaking paper in the Journal of Applied Microbiology on the use of CRISPR analysis to identify Salmonella serovars found in samples from commercial feed mills. Their two trials found
Why is it necessary to control Salmonella in live poultry production?
UK eggs have a great reputation. A good safety record and positive press in recent years has helped increase consumption. But we take nothing for granted. Low Salmonella incidence will always be a direct result of focus on biosecurity, shared by producers, feed suppliers and others.
For over 40 years, we at Anitox have been using formaldehyde as a safe and highly effective way to control pathogens in feed. It’s a particularly valuable tool, preventing viruses and bacteria, such as Salmonella and E coli, from entering the food chain. But we’re not the only industry to
This year scientists published a study that aimed to quantify the amount of soy-based feed ingredients entering the United States. The article below summarizes that research and discusses its implications for the feed sector.
