EFFECTIVENESS AND PROFITABILITY OF DIFFERENT SALMONELLA CONTROL PROGRAMMES IN A LARGE FIELD TRIAL
M. van der Heijden, W. Ederveen, D. Niewerth and K. Frankena

Abstract
Contamination of meat and meat products with Salmonella spp. is of growing concern in the modern pig industry, affecting public health (Berends et al, 1998; Leclerc et al, 2002; Gomez et al, 1997), animal health and welfare (Gray and Fedorka-Cray, 2002; van der Wolf et al, 2001a) and international trade in animals and products of animal origin. Thus control strategies to minimize the risk of salmonella infection in both pigs and humans are needed. This paper describes an investigation into the effect of acidified drinking water, acidified feed and an improved hygienic management on the level of salmonella antibodies in finishing pigs.
