Risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis of salmonella in feed and animal production

The salmonella exposure that feeds may cause to production animals will be assessed in the project by exploiting data collected in salmonella control. Feed mixtures and concentrates for production animals as well as raw materials used by mix services and on farms are of special interest.

The goals of the project are to assess
1. the impact of feed control on the salmonella risk in Finland and
2. the costs and benefits of feed management.
