Healthy People 2020

• USDA has KPIs, Goals and Action Plans just like
  us!
• KPI Human illnesses attributed to USDA
  inspected products
• Goal Reduce Salmonella illnesses by 25 by 2020
• Goal Reduce Campylobacter illnesses by 33 by
  2020
• How are they going to do this? Action plan?
• Enforcing the Salmonella and Campylobacter
  Performance Standard on Chicken Parts in May 2016!

What is the new Standard? My perspective
Product Salmonella Standard Campylobacter Standard of Plants USDA thinks will initially fail Salmonella of Plants that USDA thinks will fail Campy
Ground 13/52 25.0 1/52 1.9 62 24
Parts 8/52 15.4 4/52 7.7 63 46
Carcasses 5/51 7.5 8/51 10.2    

• Rolling 52 week Standard (Generally 1 sample a
  week)
• Publishing our Category on the internet!
• Categories
• Category 1 is lt50 of the Standard
• Category 2 is meeting the Standard
• Category 3 is failing the Standard
• Paired Pathogens!

How are we going to get there?!

• Use your friends
• The Brain Trust
• Dont hoard your data!
• Discuss your results with
• Plant operations
• Antimicrobial vendor
• Live production

• Multiple samples per zone per day (poultry
  modernization pre/post req.)
• Tested for enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella and
  Campylobacter
• This chart is 1 months worth of data averaged
• Also look at Out of Control signals at each zone
  by day

• Look at loading going into the chiller (if too
  high, overwhelms)
• Minimum expectation of 2 log EB reduction through
  chiller

Live Production

• Do they know what data you collect?
• How often do you discuss data with them?
• Do you know what they are doing in the field?
• Trials? Prebiotics, probiotics? Removing
  antibiotics?
• Vaccine development? Where did the isolate come
  from?
• From field? Or from post intervention sample?
• If you had a list of growers with opportunities,
  what would it look like?
• Paw score, EB loading, SLM , SLM serotypes of
  concern?

Do No Harm

• Ensure we do not harm our chickens,
• our team members,
• the environment
• Or the people that eat our chicken!
