While it’s
impossible to eradicate salmonella in 4” turtles once they leave the farm due to outside contaminants, our
hatchlings have all been
“inoculated” against salmonella using the “Siebeling Method” of treatment which was pioneered at our farm with the
help of late Dr. Ronald
Siebeling and Louisiana State
University. It has been documented that there is a greater chance of
salmonella being found on a
store bought head of lettuce than hatchlings certified from our farm.
Once certified by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and Approved by State
Mandated Legislation,
Nearly 4 million “salmonella free” certified turtles pass through our farm every year destined for an overseas
market.
