Résumé
Phages have been suggested as promising biocontrol agents in food, but trials demonstrating the efficiency of phage treatment under industrial settings are missing. Here we performed a full-scale industrial trial to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial phage product to reduce the prevalence of naturally occurring Salmonella on pork carcasses. A total of 134 carcasses from potentially Salmonella positive finisher herds were chosen to be tested at the slaughterhouse based on the level of antibodies in the blood. During five consecutive runs, carcasses were directed into a cabin spraying phages, resulting in a dosage of approximately 2 × 10
