Surveillance at the slaughterhouse level for animal health and food safety purposes encompasses examination for the presence of pathology, pathogens, drug residues, chemical contaminants and antimicrobial resistance. Government, industry and academia are the primary proponents of such surveillance. A variety of policies and policy instruments from voluntary to legislative may be applied to promote or obligate participation. Efforts to integrate data across such diverse organisations encounter significant legal, logistical and financial challenges. Enhancement of policies to encourage effective integration of animal health and food safety surveillance data from slaughterhouse control should promote: a long-term approach; collaboration among government, industry and academia; application of a risk-based scheme; and transparent public access to data, with generation of consumer-oriented communications derived from the data. A strong case can be made that the complementary pursuit of both sustainable animal health and food safety can continue to be aided by surveillance at the slaughterhouse level.
出于动物健康和食品安全目的在屠宰场层面进行的监测包括检查是否存在病理学问题、病原体、药物残留、化学污染物和抗菌药物耐药性。政府、行业和学术界是此类监测的主要支持者。可以应用从自愿到立法的各种政策和政策工具来促进或强制参与。跨这些不同组织整合数据的努力面临重大的法律、后勤和财务挑战。加强政策以鼓励有效整合来自屠宰场控制的动物健康和食品安全监测数据应促进：采取长期方法；政府、行业和学术界之间的合作；应用基于风险的计划；以及数据的透明公众访问，并从数据中生成面向消费者的通信。有充分理由认为，对可持续动物健康和食品安全的互补追求可以继续得到屠宰场层面监测的帮助。
