Methods Mol Biol. 2021:2182:7-16. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0791-6_2.

Abstract

The isolation of Salmonella from feed is challenging and adjustments need to be made in order to accurately isolate the pathogen from feed. This is due to the complex nature of the feed matrix, which is both porous and fibrous. The outlined method below contains the essential components of a successful Salmonella methodology for the analysis of feed that overcomes the limitations of currently available methods.

Keywords: Animal feed; Feed ingredients; Methodology; Salmonella.
