Salmonella in animal feed

This i’Tec summarises a bibliographic review (i’Doc_S10) that was written for a programme with financial backing from SYPRAM funds, entitled “Maîtrise de la contamination par les Salmonelles, en aval du traitement thermique, dans les usines d’aliments du bétail” (Controlling Salmonella contamination in cattle feed plants, downstream of the heat treatment process). This summary:

• points out risk areas in the feed manufacture process,

• presents the advantages of the heat treatment schedule (press or other) designed to eliminate Salmonella, in order to make better use of it,

• proposes preventive measures to be implemented throughout the process.
