This paper describes some of the initiatives that have been implemented by the Danish pig industry with the aim to reduce the prevalence of Salmonella. Initially, the main focus was on pre-harvest initiatives and correct identification of herds with high levels of Salmonella. Then, the focus has changed to post-harvest initiatives, such as improved slaughter hygiene. Recently, decontamination applied after slaughter and cost-effectiveness in surveillance have received increased attention. The Danish system has proved to be successful because the number of human salmonellosis cases attributable to pork has declined. However, if the aim is to obtain further reductions, then post-harvest initiatives will be more cost-effective than pre-harvest initiatives. This knowledge can be used to develop and implement appropriate types of surveillance programmes in other countries.
