Building a Modern Feed Biosecurity Program

As pathogen risks evolve, feed biosecurity is becoming a critical driver of flock health and performance. This panel explores how European producers are moving beyond traditional feed hygiene toward risk-based feed biosecurity programs. Experts will discuss ingredient risk assessment, targeted interventions, verification and monitoring, preventing post-processing recontamination, and the role of feed in reducing Salmonella while improving flock uniformity and performance. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to strengthen feed biosecurity from the feed mill to the farm.
