ABOUT THE ELANCO FOOD SAFETY PROGRAMME FOR POULTRY PRODUCERS
The Elanco Food Safety Programme (FSP) is designed to help poultry producers prevent and control Salmonella outbreaks.
It is a science-based, internationally tested tool that applies a unique algorithm to generate a bespoke Food Safety Index (FSI) score for individual farms.
This FSI score measures the relative risk of Salmonella on-farm.
Clear Salmonella risk assessment
Using the FSI score to identify risk factors through every stage of egg production, our Food Safety Programme guides targeted interventions for Salmonella protection during the journey of the egg - from pullet to plate.
The programme pinpoints where Salmonella prevention measures can be strengthened, helping you implement actions to reduce the risk of Salmonella outbreaks and protect poultry health.
How Elanco's Food Safety Programme helps poultry producers prevent Salmonella outbreaks
The Food Safety Programme supports poultry businesses in understanding and improving food safety protocols, specifically Salmonella protection.
Watch this two-minute video to learn how the programme could bolster your poultry disease control on-farm.
Support with establishing an on-farm Salmonella monitoring programme
Putting the Food Safety Programme in place helps poultry producers establish robust monitoring protocols that prevent and protect against Salmonella outbreaks.
The programme offers an integrated approach, assessing farm factors that include:
- Current biosecurity practices
- Overall poultry health management
- Infection pressures
- Education and awareness of Salmonella among poultry unit teams
With these insights, the programme provides targeted recommendations and management support to help poultry farmers continue to deliver safe food from healthy birds.
Four steps to integrated Salmonella prevention on-farm
On-farm Salmonella control requires a holistic and integrated approach.
Our Food Safety Programme incorporates four crucial steps to help poultry producers keep eggs Salmonella-free from pullet to plate.
1. Measure: Conduct an on-farm food safety assessment
2. Understand: Identify and document points of control with the Food Safety Index (FSI)
3. Improve: Implement training resources aimed at improving food safety
4. Monitor: Establish and maintain a food safety monitoring programme
