New field research demonstrates how managing feed hygiene can reduce Salmonella contamination in turkeys and their production environment.
Feed is one of the first opportunities for Salmonella to enter a turkey operation, but it doesn't have to be. A commercial North American field study identified feed as a primary source of Salmonella introduction and demonstrated how improving feed hygiene reduced contamination throughout the production system, supporting healthier birds and a cleaner production environment.
