TIME TO HIT SALMONELLA IN PIGS
P. Blanchard and K. Kjeldsen

Abstract
The authors set out the case for Salmonella Monitoring Programmes and subsequent disease control measures on-farm. Such programmes are abattoir based and rely on a meat juice ELISA test. Pig farms are graded 1,2 or 3, dependent on salmonella levels recorded. Findings are followed up by applying a tranche of corrective management measures on each unit, together with feed medications aimed at altering pH values in the gut by judicious use of organic acids.
