AB - In spite of significant improvement in technology and hygienic practices in developed countries at all stages
of poultry production accompanied with advanced improvement in public sanitation foodborne diseases
remain a persistent threat to human and animal health. Beside the current legislations, the main strategy to
control microbial food borne hazards should include Good Animal Husbandry Practices (GAHPs) at the
farm level through sound hygienic measures, which should be applied to poultry houses and environment
and the feed. In addition, reducing colonization by using feed additives, competitive exclusion treatment or
vaccines is a possibility during transport and slaughtering. In all cases agent surveillance and monitoring
programmes must be adapted and followed strictly in aim to allow early intervention. In addition, the
development of antibiotic resistant bacteria will also be a continuous public health hazard
The present paper describes the general the main strategy to control food borne infections in poultry, with
special attention to European legislations toward safe poultry meat.
