Reduced incidence of salmonella in food Reduced contamination of meat products with salmonella Reduce the incidence of salmonella in pigs Prevent pigs from becoming infected with salmonella Keep salmonella out of pig farms Locate pigs units away from sources of salmonella infection, such as other pig farms, landfill sites, abbatoirs and sewage treatment plants

Vehicles used to transport pigs are cleaned and disinfected after or before animals are transported
Lorries/trucks/loaders and other equipment used to transport and handle pig feed are kept clean
Bedding materials for pigs are not contaminated with salmonella Ensure pig bedding materials are not contaminated with faeces or corpses of wildlife, rodents, birds, cats or other animals Discourage pests/animals that can carry disease (such as rodents, wild birds, cats, dogs, foxes and insects) around pig units Clean up spillages of pig feed
Promptly and carefully dispose of dead livestock, afterbirths (and similar material that might encourage foxes and other scavengers) on pig farms
Control weeds and other vegetation around pig units
Have a well-planned baiting and trapping policy with frequent baiting for rodents on pig farms

Stress increases the shedding of salmonella, so should be minimised Loading and unloading procedures and techniques minimise distress to pigs
Include organic acids in pig feed or water supply
Promptly and carefully dispose of dead livestock, afterbirths (and similar material that might encourage foxes and other scavengers) on pig farms
Reduce salmonella in slurry and manure on pig farms Solid manure on pig farms is stacked and composted before spreading
No new waste is added to the slurry during the storage period
Slurry is stored for as long as possible (at least 4 weeks) on pig farms
Protective clothing is regularly disinfected and cleaned on pig farms
Break the cycle of reinfection on pig farms Operate an All in/All out system on pig farms
