The Southern Nevada Health District is investigating a Salmonella outbreak associated with Firefly Tapas Restaurant and Bar at 3900 Paradise Road in Las Vegas. Public health officials believe more than 80 people have been sickened in this outbreak. The health department closed Firefly on April 26, 2013 after reports of illness began coming into the office.

Dairy Herd Network19243

Salmonellosis  is a pervasive disease that is hard to keep out of a dairy operation.  With help from a new online tool from Pfizer Animal Health, dairy  producers can assess their risk of a Salmonella outbreak. The short self-assessment — found at www.SalmonellaRisk.com/Assessment — helps producers find proactive measures to help lessen the risk of a disastrous outbreak.

“Salmonella is on the rise and is a risk to every dairy operation,” says Dr. Gary  Neubauer, senior manager, Dairy  Technical Services, Pfizer Animal Health. “Dairies are operating at a  faster pace than ever before with cattle, feed and people going on and  off the farm every day. It’s important for producers to consider how  much risk they are willing to take on.”

While taking the assessment, producers answer questions about on-farm hygiene, accessibility and animal health practices.  Once completed, the tool provides a personalized Salmonella reduction plan that can be printed or emailed to the herd veterinarian.  Together, producers and veterinarians can use this plan to review  current protocols and management practices, and establish  ways to help reduce risk and build immunity to Salm
