Abstract

This Order is regulated by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and provides regulations for the surveillance of salmonellosis and Salmonella (including Salmonella Dublin) in cattle and all animals other than pigs and poultry. It covers primary production, monitoring, slaughtering and related treatment of pig and poultry meat. The provisions of the document include slaughtering, sample testing, and study provisions applicable to meat destined to human consumption.

Animals may be moved to Natura2000 sites if under nature-conservation agreements established prior to 15 July 2013 (article 16). All samples included in the calculated of Salmonella Dublin-levels within 12 months prior to the move shall adhere to the Order’s provisions
