Abstract
In the literature, there is absent or weak evidence on the effectiveness of biosecurity measures to the control of Salmonella spp. and hepatitis E virus (HEV) on pig farms. Therefore, the present study aimed to collect, weigh, and compare opinions from experts on the relevance of several biosecurity measures in the control of Salmonella spp. and HEV, within the indoor and outdoor pig farming systems. Besides, it aims to provide a ranked list that helps to prioritize biosecurity measures most effective in tackling the on-farm circulation of the two pathogens under investigation, and thus support the reduction of the risk of foodborne exposure to people.
