The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
The seroprevalence of salmonella spp. In finishing pigs in Aragón (NE of Spain) and the potential factors associated with it were assessed. Serum samples were collected directly from the Regional Diagnostic Laboratory (RDL). Only farms submitting a minimum of 30 serum samples to the RDL were included, i.e. exporting and farrow-to-finish farms, and those in the last stages of the Aujezsky's disease eradication program.
