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 cause for Salmonella spread and reinfection was tried to be analysed and identified from bacteriological sampling of stall surroundings in 50 fattening farms and closed farms that had shown an increased prevalence of Salmonella detected by meat-juice-examination. In the bacteriological examination 388 samples of the stall surroundings were analysed. Only in 5 (3x rodent droppings, 1x stall dust and 1x animal feed) samples Salmonelfa Typhimurium was isolated. Generally, it was impossible to ascertain the reasons for Salmonella spread and reinfection in a farm with a positive meat-juice sample based on pathogen identification.
