Abstract
The bacteriological condition of 34 milk replacer products and 110 mixed animal feeds from feed mills in The Netherlands and U.K. was examined. The object of the survey was to provide guidelines for determining bacteriological standards to be applied to proteinaceous feed ingredients.Significant differences in counts were observed between milk replacers for calves, whether from Dutch or British sources, and mixed feeds for other animals, but, with one exception, i.e. the Enterobacteriaceae count, a striking similarity was found in the microbiological condition of the same type of product in both countries. From the data obtained, the conclusion that proteinaceous feed components manufactured according to good processing practices will meet the specifications indicated by the mean counts in Tables 2 and 3 appears justified.Keywords
