Reference


During successive 1 year periods (July 1998–June 1999: year 1; and September 1999–August 2000: year 2) samples were taken from chickens and pigs in four EU countries for each species. Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden were chosen for pigs, and France, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK for poultry. The sites chosen were geographically spread to be representative of the main animal-producing areas. Sampling coordinators in each country selected at least four abattoirs and four poultry-processing plants (excluding those that serviced only ‘organic’ systems).

"Samples of colonic contents from pigs and caeca from chickens were collected randomly at the time of slaughter, with only one sample from each flock or herd."
