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

The relation between live body weight and Salmonella OD% for meat juice samples was investigated for finishers. The result was a seagull shaped curve indicating that the risk of being seropositive declines with increasing body weight from 60 to approximately 100 kilos and then rises again.
