Salmonella control in pigs in the USA – focus on slaughter hygiene
After over 20 years of research effort, the question of how to balance efforts in Salmonella control among the preharvest, harvest, and post-harvest sectors remains alive, but ‘silver bullets’ for on-farm control of Salmonella in pigs have proven elusive.
EU: Cases of Salmonella Enteritidis acquired in the EU have increased
The decrease of Salmonella has been a success story in the EU food safety system in the last 10 years. Recent S. Enteritidis outbreaks contributed to a change in this trend in humans and poultry.
Other alternatives for the control of salmonella in pigs?
We must come up with new strategies. The objective would be to prevent the animals going for slaughter from shedding Salmonella when they arrive at the abattoir, since they are the biggest responsible for carcass contamination.
Monitoring for Salmonella in swine in The Netherlands
In most fattening herds, the biggest risk for the finisher pigs to become infected with Salmonella is the within-farm contamination cycle of Salmonella. The biggest risk for introduction of Salmonella is buying infected piglets.
Feeding sodium butyrate in the late finishing diets for Salmonella prevalence
Sodium butyrate supplementation in finishing diets may reduce Salmonella carriage, shedding and seroprevalence in commercial conditions.
OIE: New and amended international standards and guidelines
Several chapters on various animal diseases were revised, including PRRS and Salmonella.
The German Salmonella serological monitoring programme
Several reasons explain the failure of the German Salmonella Monitoring Programme to result in a continuous reduction of the frequency of salmonella-carrying pigs sent to slaughter at a national level.
USA: Campylobacter, Salmonella led bacterial foodborne illnesses in 2016
CDC’s Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) report provides the most up-to-date information about foodborne illnesses in the United States.
In-feed organic acids as a strategy to combat Salmonella in growing pigs
Sodium butyrate or a blend of formic and citric acid in feed may be considered as a cost-effective control measure to reduce Salmonella faecal shedding in commercial herds.
Salmonella control in the pig and pork production in Denmark – lessons learnt
The success of the Danish salmonella program in pigs and pork is a result of improvements in slaughterhouse hygiene, more than it can be attributed to control in primary production. Today focus is on the end result, measured as carcass prevalence.
Sodium butyrate supplementation in lactating sows and nursery pigs
Coated sodium butyrate supplementation may improve immunoglobulin concentration in milk.
Update on Salmonella control programs
Control programs, which should have started in 2012, have not yet been implemented in most European countries today
Zinc oxide suppress of cytokine gene expression in piglets challenged with Salmonella
Long periods of high ZnO supplementation in weanling pigs may modulate immune response by suppressing the cytokine gene expression in weanling pigs.
European Union: Salmonella outbreaks has fallen by 41% since 2010
There were 4,362 reported foodborne outbreaks in 2015. The most common cause of outbreaks was Salmonella associated with consumption of eggs. However, the number of Salmonella outbreaks has fallen by 41% since 2010.
FDA Releases 2014 NARMS
The report focuses on major foodborne bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics that are considered important to human medicine, and on multidrug resistant organisms.
