Salmonella Control Programme Has Changed
16 August 2012
UK - BPEX has responded to increasing pressure on the pig sector to minimise the salmonella risk to consumers. The Zoonoses National Control Programme (ZNCP) for Salmonella in pigs has changed.
The meat juice testing for Salmonella
antibodies has now been replaced with a
new on-farm salmonella risk assessment
tool, which will help identify the most
effective control methods for each
individual pig unit.
The outcomes of the risk assessment
are used to create a meaningful Salmonella
control plan, as required by farm
assurance.
