The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
A study was undertaken to answer questions about the epidemiology of Salmonella in pig production. Does the Salmonella excretion from a group of pigs (on the same farm) remain constant during time or is there variations ? Where, and how many samples do we have to take to follow these variations, if they exist? Are the techniques to analyse samples (bacteriological and serological) practicable ? How is the relationship between serological and bacteriological methods?
