Thermal treatment improves stability and hygiene of feed

Feed can be a potential transmission vector of pathogens and hence a contamination source for animals. Thermal processes can reduce microbial contaminations of ?feedstuffs. Expansion treatment and organic acids inclusion have a high potential to be used for hygienisation of poultry feed. There is considerable evidence that feed ingredients and animal feed are frequently contaminated with foodborne bacterial pathogens like Campylobacter species and non-Typhi serotypes of Salmonella enterica, Shi
