USA - FDA announces draft guidance on salmonella in animal feed

A European Union-wide baseline survey on Salmonella in holdings with breeding pigs was carried out in 2008. Now EFSA publishes the results from analyses of the associations of 19 pen- or holding- level factors and Salmonella positivity of pens in holdings with breeding pigs. Also the results from correlation analyses between Salmonella prevalence in breeding and in production holdings, from analyses of the Salmonella serovar distribution across the European Union, and from analyses of an additional within-holding prevalence study carried out by five Member States are also presented.
