International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract

The effect of benzoic acid on Salmonella Typhimurium was compared to formic acid + lactic acid in naturally infected weaners. Addition of 1% benzoic acid or 0.5% lactic acid + 0.5% formic acid did not result in a significant reduction of Salmonella prevalence, neither bacteriological nor serological, after 5 weeks of administration, compared to a control diet consisting of pelleted feed without organic acid.
