13th SafePork Conference 2019

The 13th Safe Pork Conference 2019 will take place in the City Center of Berlin, Germany, from 26th to 29th August 2019; conference venue is the Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus (www.langenbeck-virchow-haus.de). For 22 years the “Safe Pork Community” has met every two years, starting with the Salmonella problems in pigs and pork at our first conference in 1996, to discuss the potential the risks to human health in the pork chain. Over time, the focus of the conference has changed to cover all potential health risks that can occur in the pork chain. This year, new pig health and animal welfare challenges, new management factors, antibiotic resistance, as well as emerging public health concerns will be presented and discussed in the multidisciplinary framework of the One Health concept. Thus, we have chosen the theme “One heath – Tear down interdisciplinary walls” for Safe Pork 2019!
