Summary: Brazil had regulamented in 2018 a self-control program with official verification of Salmonella sp. in pig carcasses for slaughterhouses submitted to Federal Inspection Service. This proposal was recently presented to the sector and will stimulate the agroindustry?s to develop systemic strategies for the control and monitoring of Salmonella sp., which at some point should also be directed to preharvesting stage. In this context, the serology may help the production system to predict the risk of entry and dissemination of Salmonella sp. in slaughter environment, as well to evaluate control measures in the field and the herd sanitary evolution. The objective of this research was to determine the correlation between serology, by seroprevalence and optical density values, with pigs shedding Salmonella sp. in faeces at the slaughter.
