Other alternatives for the control of salmonella in pigs?

We must come up with new strategies. The objective would be to prevent the animals going for slaughter from shedding Salmonella when they arrive at the abattoir, since they are the biggest responsible for carcass contamination.

There are some studies on that with contradictory results. These different results may be in part due to the variety of products tested.
We have tested encapsulated butyric acid with promising results, but I think we need more evidences.
