Animal Nutrition and HACCP How feed and feed additives can help improve animal health, reduce the environmental impact of waste, and insure a safe food supply.
What is HACCP? • Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points • System used by food processors • Identifies where contamination occurs and prevents it from happening again
E. coli bacteria Salmonella bacteria E. coli and Salmonella • Both are common organisms • Both have pathogenic strains • E. coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella DT104
Antibiotic Resistance • Studies show that these bacteria are becoming more resistant to Antibiotics • Poses a problem for preventing infections with traditional oral antibiotics • Limits treatment options
From the Farm To the Plate To the Processing Plant Farm to Table Approach • Prevent pathogens at every possible step
There is evidence that Vitamin E and Selenium may help kill E. coli in mammary tissue of a cow with mastitis Vitamin E & Selenium Vitamins and Minerals • Doesn’t appear to be a consensus on how they effect gut microbes
PREEMPT -- a mixture of bacteria that is applied as a spray to chicks in the hatchery Feed Additives • Chickens
UGA has developed a ‘probiotic culture’ that limits bacteria growth Feed Additives • Cattle
Currently in Alfalfa Hay, but results aren’t in Edible Vaccines • Originally designed for humans, edible vaccines may one day be available for livestock
Hay is not digested as easily Acid Reduction • E. coli thrive in an acidic environment • Grains are rapidly digested, creating a great amount of acid during fermentation
The Radura symbol and consumer preference Irradiation • Although Not a feeding process, Irradiation can greatly reduce pathogens in carcasses • The carcass is exposed to radiation
Super Cow and Chicken Conclusion • Using Feeding Technology can improve • Livestock Health • Human health • Reduce Environmental Impact • Final Product:
