1. Animal Nutrition and HACCP How feed and feed additives can help improve animal health, reduce the environmental impact of waste, and insure a safe food supply.

2. What is HACCP? b Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points System used by food processorsSystem used by food processors Identifies where contamination occurs and prevents it from happening againIdentifies where contamination occurs and prevents it from happening again

3. E. coli and Salmonella b Both are common organisms b Both have pathogenic strains E. coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella DT104E. coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella DT104 E. coli bacteriaSalmonella bacteria

4. Antibiotic Resistance b Studies show that these bacteria are becoming more resistant to Antibiotics Poses a problem for preventing infections with traditional oral antibioticsPoses a problem for preventing infections with traditional oral antibiotics Limits treatment optionsLimits treatment options

5. Farm to Table Approach b Prevent pathogens at every possible step From the Farm To the Processing Plant To the Plate

6. Vitamins and Minerals b Doesn’t appear to be a consensus on how they effect gut microbes There is evidence that Vitamin E and Selenium may help kill E. coli in mammary tissue of a cow with mastitisThere is evidence that Vitamin E and Selenium may help kill E. coli in mammary tissue of a cow with mastitis

7. Feed Additives b Chickens PREEMPT -- a mixture of bacteria that is applied as a spray to chicks in the hatcheryPREEMPT -- a mixture of bacteria that is applied as a spray to chicks in the hatchery

8. Feed Additives b Cattle UGA has developed a ‘probiotic culture’ that limits bacteria growthUGA has developed a ‘probiotic culture’ that limits bacteria growth

9. Edible Vaccines b Originally designed for humans, edible vaccines may one day be available for livestock Currently in Alfalfa Hay, but results aren’t inCurrently in Alfalfa Hay, but results aren’t in

10. Acid Reduction b E. coli thrive in an acidic environment Grains are rapidly digested, creating a great amount of acid during fermentationGrains are rapidly digested, creating a great amount of acid during fermentation Hay is not digested as easilyHay is not digested as easily

11. Irradiation b Although Not a feeding process, Irradiation can greatly reduce pathogens in carcasses The carcass is exposed to radiationThe carcass is exposed to radiation The Radura symbol and consumer preferenceThe Radura symbol and consumer preference

12. Conclusion b Using Feeding Technology can improve Livestock HealthLivestock Health Human healthHuman health Reduce Environmental ImpactReduce Environmental Impact b Final Product: Super Cow and Chicken
