Why Is On Farm Campylobacter Control Not the Same As Salmonella Control?

CDC has reported the major cause of bacterial foodborne illness in the U.S. is Campylobacter jejuni. We are only beginning to understand the epidemiology of Campylobacter. Understanding this and the unique characteristics of Campylobacter will help us develop on farm Campylobacter reduction programs for broiler chickens.

This webinar has been approved for 1 ARPAS CEU.
