Popis: ABSTRACT Introduction Salmonellosis is the second most commonly occurring bacterial zoonosis in Germany. Rye in pig feeding offers new possibilities for addressing that issue due to its high content of non‐starch polysaccharides (NSPs). These are fermented in the intestinal tract to specific fermentation products, which seem to have bacteriolytic effects against Salmonella. A coarse feed structure can display synergistic effects. Methods Seven conventional pig fattening farms increased the rye content (40%–70%) while limiting the amount of fine particles (maximum of 20% ≤0.25 mm). Samples from pigs were tested for Salmonella antibodies and compared with samples from 167 farms without any changes to the feed. Results Rye‐based diets had a significant (p
