The Feed-active Broad Spectrum Anti-microbial with Non-specific Kill Kinetics

Importance of antimicrobials in Poultry Salmonella, often known as the microscopic animal, a gram negative bacteria is probably the most vexing of bacterial infections in poultry, because of its unique characteristics of hardy, often intracellular nature, tissue migration and vertical transmission. Poultry is more prone during the first few weeks of life and once contracted, it can remain in the flock for generations. It spreads horizontally through shedding in feces and vertically through egg, ovary being their site of predilection. Irrespective of its route of entry, salmonella can reach ovaries due its tissue migration capability and remain dormant till the ovaries mature. Eggs could get infected through contaminated feces. This poses a threat of infection to egg consuming human beings. Salmonella is also typical in that it can cause losses almost at every stage of life of chicken, - early chick mortality, decreased egg production, infection of ovary, defects in egg formation, poor fertility, poor hatchability, etc. Treatment of Salmonellosis is possible, however, in most cases the affected birds remain carriers post recovery.

'Prevention is better than cure' is the right approach against salmonella. Among various sources, Feed, is identified as the largest followed by litter. Feed ingredients, especially, animal proteins are potential sources of salmonella and other microorganisms into feed. 'Blind spots' in feed mill often act as depots of salmonella and other microorganisms continuously discharging them into feed during production.Virtually every stage of feed chain is prone to contamination. Therefore, birds, particularly the breeding stock are prone to recurrent exposure of salmonella and other microorganisms through feed, which often overwhelms the standard modes of protection. Biosecurity coupled with Feed treatment is proven to be the ideal strategy.

Although Heat Treatment of feed is effective killing salmonella and other microorganisms, its practice is limited on account of higher capital costs, loss of nutrients, risk of recontamination, etc. Chemical treatment with organic acids and their salts has been established to be the ideal method of feed treatment owing to their non specific mode of action, ease of application, natural source, preservation of nutrient value, no residual effect, protection against recontamination etc. apart from being economically viable.
