Rainwater itself is generally considered clean, but it can pick up bacteria and other contaminants as it interacts with the environment. For example, if rainwater comes into contact with animal feces or contaminated soil, it can potentially carry Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and other pathogens.
Enterobacteriaceae contamination in feed can threaten animal health. Especially high protein materials, such as soy, corn, blood and bone meals are susceptible to harmful pathogens, such as Salmonella, E.coli, moulds and yeasts.
