Abstract
The contamination of pig feed with enteric pathogens
such as salmonellae or Escherichia coli has implications
for the dissemination of these microorganisms in pigs
and subsequent spread through the food chain to
humans. However, fermentation of liquid pig feed with
lactic acid bacteria (LAB) results in a feed that contains
typically 150 – 200 mmol lactic acid and has a pH of
3.8 – 4.2. This imparts a degree of antimicrobial activity
to the feed.
