We are delighted to announce our half-day remote microbiology course for 2021 – Microbiology for Animal Feed. This is aimed at production and quality personnel concerned with preventing microbiological contamination in feed mills, vehicles and other associated equipment. 

• Micro-organisms and food poisoning – an introduction to microbiology, different micro-organisms and their effects upon human and animal health.
• Measuring microbiology – A discussion on how to interpret analysis results and implications for further investigation .
• Destroying and reducing micro-organisms including Salmonella kill-step – The different methods used for destruction and inhibition of micro-organisms and practical examples for animal feed.
• Practical exercise – We design a checklist for an in-depth microbiological audit in a feed business.

The course can be tailored to a particular business and will be delivered remotely over a video meeting. It can also be expanded as a full day if required. With heightened awareness of anti-microbial resistance and the importance of good hygiene to prevent microbiological contamination of feed, this is an excellent introduction to microbiology for a feed business.
