An isolated Bacillus strain LSSAO1 is provided. When fed to a bird, this and other Bacillus strains described herein provide benefits to the birds. For example, administration of the one or more Bacillus strain can increase low G+C, gram positive bacteria in the gastrointestinal flora of the bird. These type of bacteria are increased by antibiotics and include beneficial Clostridium. Administration of the one or more Bacillus strain can also inhibit pathogen in the bird, such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium. These benefits can enhance feed conversion in poultry. Useful combinations of Bacillus strains and methods of using one or more Bacillus strain are also provided.

Antimicrobial salt solutions for food safety and quality applications are disclosed. Because these solutions contain a substantial concentration of salt, they are adaptable to a variety of food-processing applications, such as for chilling brine applications, disinfecting meat baths / rinses, beef injection brines, poultry chill tanks, brines used in cheese manufacture, as a wash to kill salmonella on hard-boiled eggs, and as a wash to disinfect produce, which can become contaminated with salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria in the field. These make use of concentrated salt solutions that depress the freezing point of the solution, to provide a low temperature bath or shower in which food products can be cooled. A preferred formulation contains between 25 ppm and 25,000 ppm surfactant, between 0.1% acid and 25% acid, and between 72.5% and 99.9% salt. This blend can then be dissolved in water to make a solution of between about 1% total solids by weight up to the saturation point, which can be used as an antimicrobial solution for food safety applications. An even more preferred range of solutions would be 17% by weight of between 0.3% and 6.0% citric acid, between 50 and 500 ppm SLS, and between 94% and 99.7% sodium chloride, and can be used in process temperatures of about −6.7° C.

The present invention relates to a novel bacteriophage, and more specifically to a bacteriophage that can specifically destroy one or more Salmonella spp. selected from a group consisting of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella gallinarum and Salmonella pullorum. The present invention further relates to a composition containing the bacteriophage as an active ingredient for the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases such as salmonellosis and salmonella foodborne intoxication induced by Salmonella enteritidis or Salmonella typhimurium, fowl typhoid induced by Salmonella gallinarum, pullorum induced by Salmonella pullorum, etc. Moreover, the present invention relates to animal feeds, drinking water, detergent and disinfectant containing the bacteriophage as an inactive ingredient.
