Link Found Between Animal and Human Health
After collecting data on health indicators of nearly 27-hundred pigs, researchers believe they have found a correlation between animal health and human health risk, as measured by carcass contamination. Therefore, they say, animal management decisions on-farm, such as housing, antibiotic use, environment and level of veterinary care, may directly impact public health. The study was set up to measure the relationship between lesions suggestive of subclinical pig illness at harvest to carcass contamination and human foodborne risk. They found the like between pig health and human health by linking carcass swabs counts to bacteria that can cause food-borne disease in humans.
A summary of the paper is offered by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians.
