International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

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

Emerging and reemerging pathogens of food animals, such as Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), have the potential to disrupt the supply of food commodities. In the event of an FMD outbreak in the United States, permit requests to move pigs and pork products must be supported by risk assessments (3).
