The majority of clinical and quality decisions in the poultry production chain rely on laboratory results. Therefore, there is a need for rapid laboratory testing procedures including PCR to:-

• Effectively allow feed mills, breeders, processing plants and food safety authorities to:
  • Closely monitor, control, and react to emerging Salmonella in the food chain.
  • Implement corrective action in primary production and poultry processing plants to suppress Salmonella
• Satisfy regulatory requirements for poultry and poultry products.
• Apply certified approved tests, demonstrating performance equal to culture reference methods (ISO 6579 1, NPIP, etc.)
