No Livestock Deaths from Salmonella in Over Twelve Months

As an owner operator of dairies, we are always looking for the best products and procedures for the cleaning and sanitation of our facilities.  We are very conscientious in the protection of the environment and strive to use “Green” technologies in our product, livestock and land management.

In the late part of 2007 and into 2008, one of our facilities had an episode of Salmonella effecting two month old calves.  We lost forty (40) plus calves in a nine (9) month period of time and were spending $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 a month on medications, plus veterinary and additional labor costs.  The surviving calves were experiencing weight losses and affecting our bottom line.

One day in August of 2008, at one of my son’s baseball games, I was talking with a fellow parent, Brice Canaday who owns CCS and is a H.E.L.P. service provider.  Through conversation our Salmonella issue came up.  Brice informed me that he was having success with a program his service company was providing in regards to schools, offices and medical facilities.

I invited him to our facilities for a tour and to see if he could offer us any advice.  Upon his arrival, he supplied us with information on H.E.L.P technologies, showing the effectiveness on numerous bacteria’s including Salmonella. 

Brice outlined an on going treatment program custom made to our facility.  Since the August of 2008, implementation of the H.E.L.P. Program, we have not lost a single calf to Salmonella.

This “Green”, non-leaching technology, along with a tailor made facility specific program, our bottom line has increased and we have the piece of mind knowing we are protecting the environment.
