Salmocid-F is a blend of formaldehyde and organic acids for the control of the main pathogens in feed, available in liquid and powder format. It maintains Salmonella negative status for up to 21 days. It is also highly effective against the most important microor- ganisms present in animal feedstuffs, including bacte- rias and virus (ASF and PED) EFFICACY OF SALMOCID-F Salmocid-F is significantly more effective against the major pathogens than combinations of organic acids. At a dose of 0.5 kt/t it achieves the same sani- tising effect as 3 and 6 kg/t of the main organic acis on the market. Studies presented to the EFSA show that diets treated up to 4 kg / t Salmocid-F are per- fectly tolerated by the animals. It was also observed that, the use of Salmocid-F achieved an increase in overall farm productivity, with improvements of more than 4 % in FCR in field trials. At a dose of 2kg /t, improvements in animal performance are showed. It is also shown its effectiveness to inactivate ASF virus: for concentration of only 0,5 mg/ml of Sal- mocid-F, a reduction factor greater than 4 decimal logarithms is achieved after 24 hours.
