Salmonella Control Programme

Salmonella affects performance, animal health and food safety. In order to comply with legal and commercial standards, its prevalence needs to be minimized as early as possible in the production chain.

Selko offers customers an integrated and holistic approach focusing on feed, farm, and health aspects provides a solid basis to protect animals from Salmonella colonization and invasion and reduces its horizontal and vertical transmission through the entire production chain.

Feed 

Salmonella can be easily introduced into the feed by contaminated ingredients, sub-optimal processing, and sub-hygienic transport, storage, distribution, and administration. Organic acid-based feed additives can improve feed hygiene and reduce the risk of recontamination.

Salmonella-free feed is a critical step to ensure safe food

Farm

Salmonella can be introduced and spread not only through feed but also through drinking water. Reducing water’s microbiological load and preventing biofilm formation in the water lines are therefore highly advisable.
Acidification with organic acids reduces the pH of the drinking water and supports water hygiene in the presence or absence of chlorine.

Premium water quality is a pre-requisite for efficient Salmonella control on the farm

Health 

The factors that affect the ability of Salmonella to colonise are complex and diverse. An efficient Salmonella control concept looks beyond feed and/or water acidification and empowers the natural defense mechanisms in the intestinal tract of the birds.

Strengthening the bird's natural defence mechanisms reduces the horizontal and vertical transmission of Salmonella

"An integrated approach focusing on feed and farm and health management can protect birds from Salmonella colonization and invasion, lower Salmonella pressure in processing and support farmers' feed-to-food safety efforts."
