To target the environmental persistence of S. Typhimurium, the industry should implement a comprehensive biosecurity strategy focused on reducing pathogen entry and transmission, especially from persistent reservoirs like soil and dust. Key strategies include strict control of farm access, improved hygiene and sanitation in facilities and equipment, managing environmental factors like soil moisture and dust, using antimicrobial treatments in specific zones, and utilizing non-antibiotic alternatives like bacteriophages. A One Health approach that integrates animal, human, and environmental health is crucial for reducing the overall impact of the pathogen.

• Fertility is defined as a complex trait involving biology, management, egg storage, and hatchery practices. Since genetics companies are only one part of this system, what is the role of other stakeholders (hatcheries, feed companies, growers) in supporting the genetic program’s effort to stabilize fertility?

• In Ovo vs. Spray: The core concepts of immunization apply to both in ovo and spray vaccines. For a vaccine like coccidiosis or E. coli (often spray-applied), what unique challenges exist in ensuring uniform coverage and dose integrity compared to the automated, direct in ovo injection?

• How should the industry adjust its biosecurity and management strategies to specifically target the known persistence of S. Typhimurium in environmental reservoirs? Does this shift justify a change in the focus of surveillance or disinfection protocols?

• Given the success of control measures like vaccination, what prudent antibiotic stewardship strategies should the poultry sector prioritize in 2025 and beyond? Should there be greater public transparency and reporting on the use of antibiotics in laying hen flocks, and how can the industry ensure that managing this health risk doesn’t inadvertently lead to an AMR crisis?
