CECAV receives a veterinary innovation award for phage work in poultry farms

CECAV reports that Sandra Sevilla Navarro and Pablo Catalá Gregori received the 2026 ICOVV veterinary innovation award for work applying bacteriophages alongside poultry-farm cleaning and disinfection. The organization describes the approach as a way to improve Salmonella control and biosecurity; performance claims remain CECAV’s report rather than an independently reviewed study.
