Fighting Salmonella in Pig Farms:
Jefo P(OA+EO) Help Keeping Your Animals Healthy
Salmonella is a major problem worldwide, causing over 80 million people to get sick from contaminated food each year. Even though chicken products are a major source of this issue.
Pig farming also plays a significant role, responding to about 12% of Salmonella cases.
The impact of Salmonella outbreaks extends beyond health issues. They can lead to legal problems, customer boycotts, and negative press. Furthermore, to prevent sanitary problems, governments have put in place strict rules, including exportation restrictions, stopping production and monitoring farms more closely.
The solution
To tackle this issue, pig farmers need to use a mix of good farm management and smart feeding strategies. This includes keeping the farm clean, vaccinating animals, choosing the right breeds, and using special feed additives such as herbs, probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and essential oils.
Understanding that pig’s gut is a hotspot for harmful bacteria is crucial. The large intestine, which is responsible for feed fermentation, is a major hiding spot for Salmonella. While essential oils break the bacterial membrane, making important components to leak, organic acids can easily enter in the bacteria, which will spend energy to regulate its internal pH. It will exhaust the bacteria, who will eventually die.
Nutritional Adjustments
While unprotected solutions will lose most of their active ingredients throughout the gastrointestinal tract, Jefo P(OA+EO) features the Jefo Matrix Technology. This protection was perfected over the years to ensure targeted delivery of these important ingredients directly in the intestine, where they are most needed. Additionally, the Jefo Matrix Technology does not affect palatability and is safe for equipment and for people who work with it.
Breeding and Birthing
Jefo offers two programs for Salmonella prevention. The regular method involves using Jefo P(OA+EO) all the time to keep infections away. During times when Salmonella challenge is higher, it is recommended a stronger, temporary dose (pulse) to reduce and keep infections under control. To get the best results, it is also possible do add enzymes like protease and xylanase to the feed to improve even more your animal’s health and growth.
Fighting Salmonella in pig farming needs a well-rounded. Jefo’s solutions and strategies offer advanced perspectives to protect pigs from Salmonella and your farm from the negative consequences of a disease outbreak.
