Abstract
In Germany, all pig-fattening farms take part in a mandatory serological screening for Salmonella via meat juice or blood samples shortly before slaughtering. Depending on the results, farms are classified in 3 categories (cat. 1: 0-20 % positive samples, cat. 2: 20-40 % positive samples, cat.3 > 40 % positive samples). Within the framework of the German-Dutch INTERREG V A-project Food Protects, we tested for antibodies against Salmonella spp. in oral fluids (OF) for classification of the herds.
