Prevalence and relatedness of Salmoenlla spp in a Canadian abattori
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The prevalence of Salmonella contamination was assessed at five points in a Canadian pork slaughter plant.In the cooler only 0.5% (2/429) carcasses were positive, even though Salmonella were detected in 51.3% of all cecal samples and in the cecum of at least one pig in 91.5% (43/47) lots tested.Hogs held overnight in lairage were significantly more likely to have positive cecal samples.Salmonella was isolated at least once from the truck, holding pen or cecum of hogs from all 31 producers.Four serotypes comprised 70.3% of 299 isolates: Bovismorbificans, Derby, Brandenburg and Agona.PFGE showed several Salmonella strains were identical between fecal samples and carcass swabs.Many strains were different, suggesting resident bacteria or cross contamination during processing may be important in this plant.Processing interventions appear to be successfully minimizing carcass contamination in this plant.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
