Summary of Results from NAHMS
Studies
• NAHMS – National Animal Health MonitoringSystem
• Program of USDA Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS)• Program Goal: Provide information on animal
health of livestock and poultry throughout theU.S.
• Approach to Pathogens – Estimate prevalence
– Evaluate risk factors
• Primary focus – Salmonella and E. coli O157

Swine 1995 – E. coli O157
• E coli O157:H7• Tested a subset (4,229) of Salmonella fecal
samples
• All were negative

Pathogens on the Farm -
Conclusions• Widely distributed geographically and by operation type
– Region generally not a factor
– Similar prevalence for Salmonella across operation types
• Mostly present in low numbers or low prevalence
• Inconsistent risk factors identified across epidemiologicstudies
• Data from large epidemiologic studies should be used togenerate hypotheses to be evaluated in more controlledexperiments
• More research is needed to evaluate interventions
(biosecurity and active measures)
