Optimisation of use of probiotics for control of Salmonella in hens
This project tested the effect of commercially available probiotics and synbiotics on layer gut development and Salmonella shedding. Results indicated that continuous feeding of a Bacillus based probiotic supplement can benefit layers.
Promotion of competitive exclusion by ‘good’ bacteria against Salmonella
To investigate one way of biologically controlling Salmonella, potential control organisms were isolated from the layer farm environment by demonstration of inhibition to a single Salmonella Typhimurium strain. The ability of the isolates to inhibit Salmonella growth using the agar overlay method was assessed, then the ability of the isolates to competitively exclude Salmonella attachment to stainless steel coupons was assessed by the use of pre-formed biofilms.
Antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Salmonella isolates from environments on Australian commercial egg farms
This project was conducted to identify the most appropriate mechanisms for obtaining and performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing on Salmonella isolates obtained from Australian layer shed environments.
Salmonella Enteritidis Response Plan- An Approach to Salmonella Enteritidis Detection
This report provides a guideline for industry response in the event of a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak.
Salmonella Incidence Response Plan- A National Approach to Salmonella Outbreaks
The Salmonella Incidence Response Plan (SIRP) collates all information in a single document and provides a structured and coherent response framework to be followed when a farm had been implicated in a foodborne outbreak.
Through-Chain Salmonella Risk Identification
Effective response and management of salmonella challenges in the egg industry developed to defend the egg category, increase the strength of the egg brand and facilitate access to new markets.
Workshops for development of Salmonella control strategies in egg industry
The risk of Salmonella outbreaks related to egg production minimised through the development and uptake of a Salmonella specific extension and control program.
Virulence of layer farm or egg associated Salmonella isolates
Improved understanding of the public health significance of Salmonella serovars and extent of invasiveness and virulence.
The Culinary Uses of Eggs
Effective response and management of salmonella challenges in the egg industry developed to defend the egg category, increase the strength of the egg brand and facilitate access to new markets.
Salmonella control in layer chickens
Confidence in the ability to reduce any presence of Salmonella on shell eggs by the use of vaccine technology determined.
An Egg: Salmonella Quantitative Risk Assessment Model
A quantitative risk assessment of Salmonella contamination of eggs in
Australia, through the development of a tool to predict how changes in industry practices
may impact on the occurrence of Salmonellosis in humans.National Food Safety Risk Profile of Eggs and Egg Products
This report set out to identify the following; hazards that enter any point of the food chain for eggs and egg products, potential management strategies for the identified high risk hazards, and product/pathogen combinations in which further risk analysis might be required by risk managers.
The significance of Salmonella, particularly S. Infantis, to the Australian egg industry
This study was to expand upon previous survey work of layer flocks in Queensland by conducting longitudinal and point-in time surveys of Salmonella faecal carriage and feed contamination on farms.
