Abstract

Control of Salmonella sp. in swine production undergoes a systemic vision of the problem, and an integrated program focused on the main stages of production. Control measures at the stage of primary animal production are required for a reduction in the number of carrier and shedders animals that reach slaughter. Among the various tools available, vaccination is a traditional and consolidated concept in preventive veterinary medicine.
