Advances in improving animal feed safety

Code: 9781835453117
Publication Date: 28/07/2026
Extent: 350 pages
Series No: 185

Edited by: Dr Regiane R. Santos, Schothorst Feed Research, The Netherlands

Description

In order for animal feed products to be fit for consumption and pass the necessary safety requirements, they must be free from pathogens, chemicals and toxins that could cause harm to the animal. To ensure product safety, the animal feed sector must continue to find new and innovative ways of detecting and controlling the major groups of contaminants.

Advances in improving animal feed safety provides a comprehensive overview of the key microbiological and chemical risks affecting animal feed, from bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella and E.coli, to mycotoxins and environmental contaminants such as heavy metals and flame retardants. The book also reviews the techniques used for detecting and controlling contaminants in animal feed.

Key Features

  • Highlights the key threats to animal feed safety, from mycotoxins and environmental contaminants, to bacterial and viral pathogens
  • Provides a detailed overview of the animal feed supply chain and highlights key stages/areas where contamination risk is high
  • Reviews the range of techniques used to detect and control contaminants in animal feed
