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
Detection of Salmonella is a key point in veterinary salmonella research and surveillance programmes. The chosen method of detection, direct or indirect, highly affects our conclusions in any examination or investigation. The perfect test is characterized by having a very high specificity, sensitivity and predictive value, being easy to perform, cheap, rapid and having the possibilty oflarge scale examination by automation. So far no single test has been able to fulfil all these requirements.
