Annual bacteriological monitoring for Salmonella and initiation of the Salmonella Control Plan for the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine (DAFM)
The presence of Salmonella in pigs at slaughter is of major public health concern, especially the presence of two serotypes, Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) and monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium (mST) because in addition to the potential of causing disease, they display multiple drug resistance. Little progress has been made in reducing the Salmonella prevalence at herd level despite monitoring of Salmonella seroprevalence at herd level and swabbing of carcases at slaughter.
It has been accepted that on-farm bacteriological sampling should be included as a mandatory element of the NSCP, with all farms subject to annual sampling for evidence of public health significance (PHS) serotypes, with further sampling implemented where these are detected.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine invites tenders from commercial laboratories to carry out laboratory testing to detect and culture isolates of Salmonella.
