Article Synopsis
- Salmonellosis is a significant bacterial disease affecting pigs in Germany, and increasing rye in pig diets can help reduce Salmonella due to its beneficial fermentation properties.
- A study involving seven pig farms showed that higher rye content (40%-70%) and reduced fine particle feed resulted in significantly lower Salmonella antibody levels compared to farms with no dietary changes.
- Overall, incorporating more rye into pig feed can lead to decreased Salmonella antibody detection, improving food safety and reducing the risk of zoonotic transmission, especially on farms with previously high Salmonella levels.
