The company has highlighted how new data generated by Kansas State University (K-State) and Dr Megan Niederwerder demonstrated that Sal CURB effectively inactivates ASFv in livestock feed.
The data in support of the patent application, Mitigating the Risk of African Swine Fever Virus in Feed with Antiviral Chemical Additives, was recently published in the Transboundary and Emerging Diseases journal.
The research was conducted at the Biosecurity Research Institute at K-State, which is a biosafety level-3 facility and one of only two locations in the US that can handle and conduct scientific studies with the virus.
Kemin said that by using a blended solution of formaldehyde and propionic acid, known to eliminate mold and pathogens, Sal CURB plays an important role in reducing biosecurity risks.
Kristi Krafka, vice president, regulatory affairs and quality assurance, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health, North America, told FeedNavigator the company has also submitted additional patent applications for global consideration related to Sal CURB and ASFv control in feed.
Pathogen control
Sal CURB, she explained, is a blend of aqueous formaldehyde 37% solution and propionic acid. The product is backed by 25 years of research, efficacy and safety at Kemin, she added.
The application of Sal CURB involves interventions in extraction and rendering plants, feed mills, storage facilities, farms, transport vehicles and/or equipment. It is labeled to maintain the Salmonella-negative status of complete feeds and feed ingredients for up to 21 days and controls mold in feeds or feed ingredients, outlined Krafka.
