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
Disinfection is a widely accepted element of disease control, although there are many types of product, with differing chemistries, which affects their activity against pathogens such as Salmonella.
This study investigated the ability of fifteen disinfectants to eliminate pig-associated Salmonella, specifically focusing on monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium (S. 4,5,12:i:-). The study included three m-cresol, one glutaraldehyde/ formaldehyde, four glutaraldehyde/quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), two iodine, two peracetic acid and three potassium peroxomonosulphate-based commercial disinfectants.
