07-Mar-2017David BurchDear Colleagues, great article, I agree with you, as the poultry industry reduces their contamination of eggs and carcasses via their successful vaccination policies, the focus on the pig industry will increase. The project we had in England using meat juice ELISA testing was a disaster and we were all relieved when it was ended. With 40% of our sows outdoors there was no biosecurity and a push to better welfare using solid floors and straw made pig contamination rates soar. The focus has to be at the slaughter house to reduce contamination but there are no easy answers as yet. Good luck David
