Dear sir,
Good article about control of salmonella in broilers.
I have a question, salmonella level in your passage was related with human consumtion. How about tolerance level in parent stock, are there any specific number?
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your question and my apologies for not replying earlier, as I had some issues to post my reply on this website.
To answer to your query, I have in mind some recommendations given by Richardson (2002) about the maximum Enterobacteria (not Salmonella) levels in poultry feeds, as follows (in CFU per gram of feed):
For great grandmothers, grandmothers and broiler breeders the target is 0 and the maximum acceptable level is 100.
For others (layer breeders, layers, turkeys and broilers) this author recommends a target of maximum 100 CFU per gram of feed and a maximum acceptable level of 1,000.
I hope this helps.
Best regards
