Abstract / Zusammenfassung

Stakeholder cooperation along the food chain is the central element of the risk-based approach to meat hygiene. Since meat hygiene already starts with animal husbandry, the aim of this project is to assess pre-harvest meat safety interventions by means of systematic literature reviews for the animal species broilers, pigs and bovines. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for the systematic literature reviews were the same for all three animal
species with the exception of the chosen time limit: broilers: 2015–2020, pigs and bovines: no time limit. EFSA Scientific Opinions on the public health hazards related to meat from swine, poultry and bovine animals (2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively) were the basis for the selection of pathogens that were included. Fifty-one studies regarding Campylobacter spp., Salmonella, VTEC, ESBL-AmpC Escherichia coli, and Clostridium perfringens were included in the broiler review. Research mostly focused on Salmonella and Campylobacter spp., with biosecurity and management interventions having mixed outcomes. The effectiveness of feed additives remains controversial. Overall, studies on recent developments of novel pathogen-specific immunisation strategies are lacking. In pigs, fifty-one studies were retained contemplating five pathogens. Salmonella was the most investigated (n=42 studies) with feed and/or water treatments and vaccination being the most researched interventions and having positive results. Overall, high health status coupled with good management and biosecurity are effective to control most foodborne pathogens in pork. Both in broilers and pigs, research
on many pathogens was scarce or with focus on epidemiology/source-attribution studies. This may be partly explained because these pathogens are frequently controlled by post-harvest interventions. For bovines, a total of 1514 studies were retrieved for 13 pathogens. After the abstract and full-text screenings, a total of 35 studies for six pathogens remained. These were: Salmonella (n=16 studies), VTEC (n = 13 studies), C. botulinum and C. perfringens (n=2 studies), and Campylobacter, and ESBL_AmpC (n=1 study each). Data extraction and interpretation is still ongoing. This systematic review is expected to be submitted for peer-review in June 2022.
