Schering Plough Animal Health

Preventing Salmonella Infection on Your Farm Seminar

New regulations for the egg producer and more stringent salmonella testing protocols are just around the corner, making the options for marketing eggs from Salmonella-positive flocks likely to be very limited.

Effective Salmonella control requires action on several fronts including vaccination and rodent control. However, it may be difficult to prevent re-infection of birds, especially in cage houses.

Schering Plough are organising a series of free springtime seminars including a buffet lunch at venues around the country for producers to get up to date with the latest research findings on Aviguard and Salmonella.

• David Parsons MSc N Sch MRCVS, of the Poultry Health Centre, will give a practical overview on Salmonella control on farm.

• Sue Reynolds of Microbial Developments will outline how competitive exclusion can provide added protection for your flock.

Seminars will take place on the following dates at various locations as follows.

20 March (Thursday)                            Writtle College, Chelmsford, Essex

26 March (Wednesday)                        Myerscough College, Preston, Lancashire
