Risk‑based diagnostics to Control and Protect Animal Nutrition

Animal Nutrition & Feed Testing Solutions

Feed mills and integrated animal production systems operate under constant pressure to control pathogens such as Salmonella, protect downstream operations, and meet increasingly strict feed and food safety requirements under EU (EFSA‑driven) and US frameworks (FDA/FSMA), while LATAM and ASPAC regulations are progressively aligning with these models. In this context, feed quality control is fundamentally environment‑driven rather than product‑release driven, making prevention and monitoring essential.

Innovative Augmented Diagnostics Approach for Feed Mills and Integrators to Combat and Help Prevent Contamination

As a longtime diagnostics partner to the animal health, nutrition, and food and beverages industries, we support feed mills and integrators with a data‑driven approach to pathogens and Salmonella risk management, feed safety, and operational performance.

Our Augmented Diagnostics approach goes beyond a simple test result: combining microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and data insights to help you detect, control, and reduce Salmonella risk across the feed lifecycle, from ingredient intake to finished feed and environmental monitoring.

By integrating pathogen detection, environmental monitoring, and hygiene indicator testing into a unified diagnostics strategy, bioMérieux helps feed mills and integrators strengthen Salmonella control programs, support regulatory readiness, and protect brand reputation.

 

Detection of Pathogens 

  • Reliable pathogen detection, with a strong focus on Salmonella, is essential to protect animal health and prevent downstream contamination of the food chain. bioMérieux suite of solutions enable rapid and accurate detection of Salmonella in raw materials, finished feed, and processing environments, supporting timely decision‑making, corrective actions, and regulatory compliance for feed producers.

Environmental Monitoring 

  • Effective environmental monitoring is a cornerstone of control in feed manufacturing, where contamination risks are driven by equipment, water, or post-heat treatment. bioMérieux supports environmental monitoring programs from software and training to cutting-edge genomics applications and investigative tools, the data and genomics offering allows you to enhance your quality program to tackle the toughest challenges.

Hygiene Indicators 

  • Routine monitoring of hygiene indicators is critical to verify process control and support Salmonella prevention programs. With automated and rapid enumeration solutions, bioMérieux helps feed producers to track Enterobacteriaceae, Yeasts & Molds, and Total Aerobic Count, reduce variability, and improve laboratory efficiency within day‑to‑day quality control workflows.
