A cost-effectiveness analysis for Salmonella interventions in the British pig meat production chain

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In 2002 a British Salmonella monitoring programme for pigs was introduced, with the intention of reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in pigs at slaughter and hence the number of Salmonella cases in humans attributable to British pig meat. While the primary focus has so far arguably been on reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in slaughter pigs, the programme is intended to reduce Salmonella across the whole production chain. In support of this programme, and as part of a large risk-based study, a risk assessment and cost-effectiveness analysis were developed to investigate the effect of the following interventions: vaccination, feeding of organic acids, rodent control, anal bunging and washing and drying of the carcass at dehairing.
