Abstract:Salmonella spp. and Yersinia enterocolitica are priority bacteriological public health hazards in pork safety. For more successful control, it is necessary to collect data on their prevalence throughout the meat chain using the concept of harmonized epidemiological indicators. The aim of this study was to determine their prevalence in fattening pigs under different housing conditions by recovering the pathogen from tonsils and by serological testing of diaphragm meat juice at slaughterhouses. The overall preva… Show more
