The 95% confidence limits for S. enterica isolation rates are as follows: AFEC, 0 to 2.3%; NFEC (farm), 0 to 1.7%; NFEC (abattoir), 20.1 to 30.2%; CC (farm), 0.2 to 3.3%; CC (abattoir), 9.7 to 17.6%; LNN (farm), 1.4 to 5.7%; LNN (abattoir), 5.8 to 12.4%. The 95% confidence limits for pig prevalence were 2.7 to 8.0% (farm) and 34.2 to 45.5% (abattoir). The 95% confidence limits for seroprevalence were 15.3 to 24.7% (farm), 12.5 to 21.4% (abattoir), and 15 to 22% (combined farm and abattoir).
1-g fecal samples taken 3 days before depopulation.
Results from the ICL and SIL nodes are combined.
SPP is defined as S. enterica isolation from any of the samples collected at necropsy (1 g of feces, CC, or lymph nodes).
Rate difference is the abattoir percentage minus the farm percentage.
Percentages are significantly different between farm and abattoir for that sample type and herd (P < 0.05).
Percentages are significantly different between pig prevalence (abattoir) and seroprevalence (combined farm and abattoir) for that herd (P < 0.05).
