Evaluation of the cleaning and disinfection protocols effectiveness against Salmonella in three points of the pork production chain: finishing farm, transport and lairage. A 22.2% of the farms, 62.5% of the slaughter trucks and 63.6% of the holding pens tested were positive to Salmonella after cleaning and disinfection procedures.

These results show that the protocols carried out at the farms, trucks and abattoirs included in this survey are not efficient to eliminate Salmonella.
