Decontaminating poultry feed Pilot workshop study of heat treatment techniques

Summary

This program, financed by TECALIMAN’s members, the ACTIA and the Pays de Loire region, has been implemented by TECALIMAN in partnership with the CNEVA in Ploufragan and the ENITIAA’s Mathematics, Statistics and Computing Laboratory in Nantes.

The aim of the work is to determine the influence of steam treatment, pressing and deferred cooling of pellets on the level of salmonella contamination affecting a feed.

The technological factors activated are temperature and the duration of steam treatment. These factors are chosen as they are two factors that can be easily activated in the plant.
