Finalyse, a novel pre-harvest hide wash, has been proven to significantly reduce Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 at an exposure time of five minutes.
A recent third-party validation study was conducted to determine the optimum exposure time and efficacy of bacteriophage against E. coli O157:H7 on cattle hides. Finalyse was proven efficacious with a reduction >1.8 Log CFU/g at an exposure time of five minutes, one hour and four hours.
