SCALE EFFICIENCY IN EUROPEAN PORK PRODUCTION

Salmonella in the Pork Production Chain

Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the pork production system, with emphasis on Salmonella. It shows potential inputs (sources) of Salmonella into the various processes of the system. Also shown are outputs from each of the processes. Note that outputs from one process, or set of processes, serve as inputs to the next process. This figure suggests that the output of Salmonella positiv...

Salmonella in the Pork Production Chain

There is currently an explosion of research activity on food safety, including Salmonella contamination of pork and pork products. Salmonellosis is considered to be one of the most common foodborne illnesses in humans, with worldwide distribution and increased incidence in the United States during the last years (CDC,2000). Reasons for this include; increased public awareness of microbiological...
