Salmonella contamination in pigs at slaughter and on the farm: a field study using an antibody ELISA test and a PCR technique.

Abstract:

:An antibody ELISA test and a PCR method for identifying the risk of Salmonella contamination were compared in a field study on the same lots of animals in a slaughterhouse. The results were compared to investigations carried out on two farms with different prevalences of Salmonella antibody-positive animals. Salmonella antibody ELISA testing was carried out on all 383 meat juice samples derived from the diaphragm pillar muscle of each pig. Salmonella DNA analysis was performed by PCR technique on small intestine samples with lymph nodes from all 383 pigs, and on tonsils from the last 129 pigs. The 383 animals tested came from 32 different pig farms. Furthermore, the herd antibody blood serum status against Salmonella spp. of weaners was determined on two selected pig fattening farms, one with low and one with high seroprevalence in meat juice. A total of 7.0% (ELISA cut-off OD% > or =40) of the slaughtered pigs from 6 of 32 fattening farms were seropositive. Salmonella DNA was found in 16.4% of the jejunum/lymph nodes (383 animals) and in 15.5% of the tonsils (129 animals). Salmonella DNA was found in the jejunum/lymph nodes of 41% of the seropositive pigs. However, serotitres were also positive in only 17.5% of all pigs positive in the jejunum DNA test. Two farms were selected for further investigation: farm 13 (F13), with a high prevalence of seropositive pigs, 29.0%, Category II; and F11, with 9.4%, Category I. However, categorization according to the blood serum tests of the fattening pigs after on-farm testing was very different: F13 had 5% positive animals (Category I); and F11, 23.3% (Category II). The study led to the following results and recommendations: First, ELISA tests are useful for the detection of farms that are regularly contaminated with Salmonella, but such tests cannot give information on the infectious status of a single animal (or a group) at the point of slaughter. Second, it is crucial that management measures are taken to prevent the spread of infections by trade and transport: piglets should be supplied exclusively by a single, well-known producer, and finishers should be tested serologically on farm before going to slaughter. Third, ELISA tests and the PCR method are suitable for the detection of Salmonella and are recommended as analytical tools for all pork quality control programmes. Fourth, animals from suspicious farms should always be slaughtered at the end of the slaughter day, followed by thorough cleaning and disinfection.
