Ep. 209: Salmonella, HPAI and More!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Kromm will outline the specifics of the original USDA plan to monitor Salmonella contamination levels in processing plants as well as the goals for tracking various serotypes of Salmonella as well as other pathogens among poultry. She also notes that the proposed regulations – which were challenged by the poultry industry and other stakeholders – ultimately could have complicated the processing and supply chain needs of the chicken and turkey processors. She also will update the status of the battle against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which is now in its fourth year and has affected wild birds, broilers, egg layers and a wide range of other mammals, including dairy cows, cats, dogs, otters, foxes and other domestic and wild animals. Kromm also outlines other approaches under consideration in response to HPAI, including the use of vaccines.
