First, coordinate measures for salmonella reduction in your company with your veterinarian and document these in the declaration on the ad-hoc categorization. After completion of the remediation measures, transmit the signed declaration on the ad-hoc categorization to your coordinator. The remediation measures must be documented in the salmonella database by your coordinator within 14 days. Starting from the date of the remediation, the veterinarian can take blood samples (complete sample target) and send them to a QS approved laboratory for analysis. The location will be reclassified overnight after receipt of the test results in the salmonella database. The category will be valid the same day.
