Accepted management practices vary across poultry industry segments as well as various regions of the world. This symposium will look at both on-farm and processing plant practices that attempt to integrate a multiple hurdle approach to Salmonella and Campylobacter reductions. The U.S. broiler and turkey industries have both different and similar practices throughout their respective processes. We will hear from both industries in the U.S. on the progress made in the last decade. The chicken industries in the United Kingdom, Australia/New Zealand and Brazil also operate differently from the U.S. and we will have representatives to address differences in their goals and systems. Shell eggs and poultry are important issues in Canada and initiatives on the control of Salmonella Enteritidis in these products will also be discussed.
