Tridge summary
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration is increasing control measures to eradicate Salmonella Dublin from Danish cattle herds, following a plan designed in collaboration with several agencies and universities. This strategy includes stricter regulations for action plans in infected herds, enhanced sampling, and a shift to a binary classification system for herds, discarding the previous three categories. Farmers who fail to comply with these measures will face penalties. Currently, about 10% of Danish cattle herds are infected with Salmonella Dublin, a number that has decreased from 25% in 2002. The initiative aims to further reduce the incidence of this pathogen in both livestock and human populations, with an annual cost estimated to range between 23 and 28 million Danish Krone (U.S. $3.7 million to $4.5 million).
