Is Salmonella breaking the rules? A take from IPPE

Dr Roxane Sanchez-Ingunza thank you for your thoughts. You wrote - A system that allows the veterinarian to gather relevant information from the field and analyze it in a timely manner would benefit any poultry producer. Surveillance would definitely benefit the industry and the consumer but not necessarily the individual producer. Producer's benefits would depend on the regulatory framework and the actions taken following the detection of some Salmonella serovars, as well as the availability of financial support /compensation schemes for affected farms in cases where depopulation of flocks is required by the authorities. In the absence of such schemes individual producers may find it extremely difficult to resume their operations.
