International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork

International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork

Abstract

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.

Risk-based Meat inspection: “Meat Juice Multiserology” for improving the food chain information

2011-01-01 , Meemken, Diana , Klein, G. , Blaha, Thomas

The new European food safety strategy has three main goals: increasing the food safety, optimizing animal health and improving animal welfare. To achieve all three goals by means of a process control, the intensity of the official control is based on a risk assessment by analyzing the so-called “relevant food chain information” from pig herds. This food chain information consists of seven criteria, which are listed in the EU-Regulation No. 853/2004. One of them is taking into consideration existing bacteriological and serological laboratory results. So far, except of the serological salmonella monitoring in some European countries, there is no systematic serological monitoring for any other pathogen from pig herds. The presented paper describes the concepts of a meat juice based “multi-serology” and shows its usefulness as part of the food-chain information.
