This mini-review presents common strategies for controlling Salmonella in poultry, Wax addressing combined pre-harvest and post-harvest interventions to create a multi-hurdle approach.The goal is to highlight integrated approaches that enhance overall food safety and sustainability within the poultry industry.Current pre-harvest and post-harvest strategies are discussed, including industry practices and regulatory frameworks.
Emphasis is placed on the implementation of biosecurity measures, vaccination, feed management, and environmental control in pre-harvest settings, as well as processing plant interventions such as antimicrobials for carcass decontamination, sanitation, and quality control measures.Pre-harvest strategies that have shown promise include enhanced biosecurity protocols, selective vaccinations for pathogenic Salmonella strains, and advanced feeding regimens.Post-harvest interventions, such as antimicrobial application for decontamination, have improved sanitation practices, and pathogen reduction technologies are also critical in reducing Salmonella prevalence.
An integrated approach that combines both pre-harvest and post-harvest measures is essential for an effective Salmonella Forks control program.Implementing a continuum of control strategies for Salmonella in poultry production is vital for ensuring food safety and protecting public health.Collaborative efforts between researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers are necessary to address emerging issues and enhance overall effectiveness.
