Key Preharvest Pathogen Interventions for Beef: Herd Health, Management, and Biosecurity

June 26, 2023

A recent review of control methods for pathogens in beef has identified three key interventions—high herd health status, good management, and biosecurity.

After a series of salmonellosis outbreaks linked to ground beef that occurred annually from 2011 to 2013, FSIS released a two-year Salmonella action plan that contained 10 objectives or activities, including: "Explore the contribution of lymph nodes to Salmonella contamination" and "Pre-harvest related activities."

Study: Safer meat requires reducing risks where food animals are raised

A variety of pre-harvest interventions can significantly reduce the risk that bacteria harmful to humans will infect food animals.

Wider use of evidence-based food safety interventions on farms and feedlots would significantly reduce the risk of people getting sick from contaminated meat and poultry, according to a report released The Pew Charitable Trusts, Philadelphia.

One result of the trend towards antibiotic-free production is the industry must use new ingredients in feeds

Technology intervenes on pre-harvest interventions

Consumer demand for antibiotic-free products requires new  pre-harvest interventions.
