Nutritional supplement reduces foodborne pathogens pre-harvest
Diamond V has announced the patent-pending use of animal health supplement Diamond V Original XPC as a method for foodborne pathogen reduction in livestock.
The pending patent states that feeding Original XPC during food animal production helps reduce the prevalence and numbers of Salmonella and Campylobacter in the animal, production environment and food processing plant. Reducing these pathogens pre-harvest can improve food safety.
The company cites over 125 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles which describe how the pre-harvest technologies of Diamond V — an all-natural, fermentation-based product — support immunity, health and performance of poultry, pigs, dairy and beef cattle, aquaculture species and other food animals.
The pending patent is based on studies that involved pathogenic challenges to healthy animals by several different strains of Salmonella and Campylobacter. The resulting body of scientific knowledge on the effects of Original XPC on foodborne pathogen reduction represents the largest known collection of pre-harvest food safety research projects, according to the company.
