INTRODUCTION
 In 2005, CIRAD organized in the
frame of PRISE[1]
a training course in 'Quality analysis and management in Animal
Production[2].
This first global and interdisciplinary approach of quality was a
necessary theoretical step to introduce more specific and practical
topics, as requested by some participants last year. Thus, in 2006, we
propose a practical training period on 'Salmonella detection and
identification in animal products'. The NIVR food hygiene laboratory,
working in partnership with CIRAD in the frame of PRISE consortium, on
food microbiology and hygienic quality in animal production, will
welcome the participants for this training session. Together with local
specialists, an expert from a Salmonella reference laboratory in France
in AFSSA[3],
will present an overview of standard techniques and more specific
quantitative methods, possibly used for research and control purposes
of Salmonella in food or other samples in animal production chains.
This kind of practical training is important to reinforce the links
between the food hygiene laboratories in Vietnam and could represent a
first step for a national laboratory network, part of a regional
network in South-East Asia.
