Salmonella in poultry
Poultry can become infected with many different types of salmonella; about 10 percent of all Salmonella spp. have been detected in poultry. The most important are Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis. Other serotypes frequently occurring in poultry worldwide are, for example, Salmonella Hadar, Salmonella Livingstone, and Salmonella Senftenberg. In most cases, the birds are not sick and the production is not affected. The degree of illness depends on factors of both the bacteria and the host. The bacterium’s serotype and phage type is of significance but also the type of animal, age and general health status. S.Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis may induce clinical symptoms in poultry. It is mainly in very young chickens aged up to two weeks that salmonella can cause disease and death. The symptoms may vary and include weakness, loss of appetite and poor growth. The animals are crowded close to heat sources and sit with drooping wings and their eyes closed.
Alain RIGGI - Global Poultry Manager/Director at, Phileo by Lesaffre, speaks about the main benefits of the program Salmo Control. The multifactorial benefits of Safmannan® in ensuring animal welfare and the safety of food on your plate, contributes to global sustainability. This is a ‘must-pay-attention’ factor for all food producers around the world right now.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM In the United States, foodborne nontyphoidal salmonellosis affects approximately one million individuals, results in 378 deaths and costs approximately $3.3 billion USD annually (Scallan et al., 2011). Most of these infections are associated with animal meat and product consumption, with poultry or poultry products being the major source (Marin and Lainez, 2009). Therefore, eradication of Salmonella in the production cycle of poultry and in processing...

Poultry farms act as an important source of transmission of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Salmonella to the environment as well as to humans. Indiscriminate and prophylactic use of antibiotics in poultry farms is one of the reasons behind it. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Salmonella in broiler chickens, farm environments, as well as farmers to identify the risk factors for Salmonella colonization in broiler farms....

Introduction Poultry producers attempt to control infectious diseases through a variety of means, including appropriate farm management practices and breeding genetically resistant lines (Sartika et al. 2011; Scott et al. 2018). Unfortunately, existing farming conditions favour increased chicken densities in poultry houses, increasing the risk of spreading entero-pathogens such as Salmonella and Clostridium spp. (FAO 2013). For over half a century,...

Salmonella continues to be one of the bacteria that generates the greatest concern for the poultry sector. Not only because domestic poultry are carriers and vectors of Zoonotic Salmonella that cause toxiinfections (such as Salmonella enteritidis), but also because typhoid Salmonella (such as Salmonella Gallinarum) still exist in certain...

Introduction Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen commonly associated with raw poultry and poultry products causing 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths, annually in the United States [1]. Between 2009 and 2015, 15% of the top 5 pathogen-food category pair out-breaks were attributed to Salmonellosis associated with chicken consumption [2]. To reduce the prevalence of Salmonella , poultry processors apply antimicrobial...

1. Introduction Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne pathogens. The intestinal tract of poultry and other food animals is considered the main foodborne Salmonella reservoir [1,2]. An increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been reported in poultry Salmonella isolates where antibiotics are extensively used in production systems [3,4]. Although the link between antimicrobial usage in food animals and clinical treatment failures in human salmonellosis...

1. Background Salmonella is an important pathogen transmitted through food, water or direct contact with animals. Most Salmonella surveillance programs rely on polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays for rapid and accurate detection (1, 2). Among these molecular tools, the invA-PCR assay has been accepted as the conventional method for Salmonella detection (2-4). This PCR protocol amplifies a fragment of the invA gene, a Salmonella-specific locus (5, 6) proposed as an...

Background Growing concerns over resistance to antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria has resulted in increasing public and government pressure to reduce the use of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed. A negative result of AGPs removal is potential increase in incidence of certain diseases in poultry, such as necrotic enteritis and avian salmonellosis. Therefore, effective alternative strategies to prevent...

INTRODUCTION The intense international trade of animals and animal products facilitates the spread of Salmonella spp., making salmonellosis an international public-health subject, responsible for serious economic losses to the poultry industry and governments. Although humans can become infected by Salmonella spp. through a wide range of food products, poultry meat and eggs are among the most frequently implicated sources of human Salmonella outbreaks (Gast, 2013)....
