defence is focused on controlling Salmonella in food-producing animals, mainly pigs and poultry. At the second level, attention is paid to hygiene during slaughter and meat processing. Finally, Salmonella needs to be controlled during food preparation. At the primary level, pelleting of feed has long been recommended as a way of decontaminating
animal feed. In practice, however, total decontamination through pelleting is highly unlikely and subsequent multiplication of any residual Salmonella can occur. Moreover, heat treatment does not offer protection against recontamination. Consequently, Impextraco’s Salstop®
control. Salstop® , a synergistic combination of organic acids, their salts and natural extracts, is designed
to protect high-risk raw materials and finished feed from contamination and recontamination with a broad spectrum of pathogens. In addition, farm hygiene and vaccination contribute to a multi-hurdled Salmonella decontamination program.

Safe Solutions is a conceptual model developed by Kemin for the production of safe animal feed, among other things. It is based on an integrated and systematic approach to assure high hygiene standards during the feed production, storage, transportation and distribution within the animal farms. This model includes several programmes dedicated to the control of microbial contamination (including Salmonella) of the feed: cleaning and sanitation, feed and feed raw material decontamination, and feed preservation by avoiding recontamination and future microbial growth. The Solid State Disinfection programme is a cleaning and sanitation programme, which is essential
tool to diminish secondary Salmonella contamination of feed. It is an extremely useful development for the feed industry. The Solid State Disinfection programme with Sal CURB®
nutricines makes an important
contribution to the successful implementation of Good Cleaning Procedures in the feed chain surfaces and equipment in contact with the feed. For an easy and efficient application of the sanitizing agent, Kemin has developed special applicators for quick, appropriate and safe product distribution. By applying in the feed a suitable Sal CURB®
feed preservative, the avoidance of feed recontamination
along the feed chain is successfully achieved. The optimum results are obtained thanks to the services behind the product, like the proper application systems, monitoring results and validating the hygiene programme.

FEEDMILL HYGIENE - A LONG TERM VIEW Feedmill hygiene starts with the purchase of quality raw materials and the storage, handling and subsequent treatments all need to maintain, or improve the hygiene standards. This is the concept of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) where problem areas are identified and monitored. Bacterial challenges need to be tackled at every stage including cleaning out raw material bins and
dusting them with a feed acidifier. Kiotechagil recommends blowing in a few kilos of concentrated low inclusion acidifier (pHorce) every time bins are refilled to give a protective layer between loads. In the mill there are always “dead” areas where dust and part-processed feed can accumulate.
These need to be identified and cleaned before spot treating with pHorce to prevent the risk of contamination. Proper treatment is needed to reduce the threat of contaminated dust passing to heat-treated feed via ventilation or by staff moving from one area of the mill to another. Feed can be decontaminated by heat but reliance on heat is not sufficient. As feed cools it is
vulnerable to recontamination in packing lines, storage bins, transport, on-farm storage and feeders. There is no point in expensive heat treatment for biosecurity if the feed is then left without protection.
