Optimal Salmonella protection for poultry producers
Salmonella is a costly threat to the broiler and layer industries. (A Salmonella outbreak among free-range birds can cost UK poultry producers up to £17 per bird3).
It is also concerning that Salmonellosis represents half of all global foodborne outbreaks requiring hospitalisation4 and causes around 59,000 deaths each year5.
So it is imperative every poultry producer strives for the best Salmonella control on-farm.
Robust Salmonella control in poultry units requires a holistic and integrated approach, with vaccination at its core
Any on-farm Salmonella control plan should include:
» Excellent biosecurity and hygiene
» Effective Salmonella vaccination strategy
» Good health monitoring and flock management
Vaccination against BOTH strains is best for superior, direct protection against Salmonella infections in poultry flocks

Better Salmonella protection for poultry
When challenged with a field strain of S. Typhimurium (at much higher levels than would be seen in the field via natural infection), birds vaccinated with AviPro Salmonella Duo had significantly lower numbers of field strains in the caeca and spleen compared with a live vaccination containing S. Enteritidis alone1.
This proves the value of AviPro Salmonella Duo for poultry farms focused on effective Salmonella prevention.
Reduced Salmonella shedding into the laying period
Some live vaccines are known to shed throughout the production period, raising potential concerns about Salmonella infection in poultry and the risk of vaccine residues affecting table eggs9.
AviPro vaccines help poultry producers achieve effective Salmonella prevention without the prolonged shedding risks, as these vaccines are not shed by vaccinated birds during the production period.

Improved egg safety against Salmonella

Birds vaccinated with AviPro Salmonella Duo demonstrate:
- Reduced organ contamination, including the reproductive tract6
- Reduced egg contamination6
Vaccination with AviPro Salmonella Duo reduced egg contamination by 83%
