Antimicrobial protection
December 2nd 2009

Turkey farming company Bernard Matthews Farms is reported to be pioneering a new silver antimicrobial protection on its transportation crates to shield its poultry flocks from a wide range of pathogens. The BioCote-protected poultry crates from Anglia Autoflow have been chosen for their proven effectiveness in helping reduce the risk of pathogen cross-contamination.

Used to transport turkeys from farm to processing plant, the crates already undergo a thorough decontamination process between uses.However, in trials for Anglia Autoflow, the BioCote-protected crates demonstrated a significant reduction in remaining pathogen load. This effectiveness was sustainable throughout the repeated cycle of the crates, from contact with flocks, through the decontamination process to re-contact with the flocks.
