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.

Introduction Poultry is affected by the various diseases, especially flocks that have low immunity resulting in the significant economic losses due to high feed conversion ratio (FCR) and mortality [1]. They are also susceptible to secondary infections due to responses to irregular vaccination and immune suppression [2]. Escherichia coli are found to be one of the most important causes of economic loss to poultry production. However, ammonia, mycoplasmas, Newcastle disease virus...

The 2020 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) will offer a new education program titled, Processing for Antibiotic Free Production. The workshop, scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 and Friday, Jan. 31, 2020, will focus on the elements that ensure appropriate antibiotic free production from grow-out to plant processing. The two-day workshop is a collaboration between the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) and the University of Georgia’s Department of...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella enterica is the 3rd leading cause of foodborne illnesses globally; accounting for 78 million illnesses and 59 thousand foodborne-related deaths annually (Havelaar et al., 2015). In the United States, non-typhoidal Salmonella is responsible for 1 million illnesses, 19 thousand hospitalizations, and 378 deaths each year (Scallan et al., 2011). Children (≤5 years old) and the elderly (>65 years old) are most susceptible to Salmonella infection,...

Background Salmonella is a major food borne pathogen which globally is estimated to cause 93 million enteric infections and 155,000 diarrheal deaths each year [1]. Poultry products are a significant source which initially was considered to be a consequence of the global introduction of industrialized production of broiler chickens around some 50 years ago [2]. In the late 1980s, the emerging and pandemic spread of Salmonella Enteritidis primarily via table eggs also...

Introduction Salmonella spp. is the most relevant foodborne pathogen globally. It is widely distributed in nature and it is able to survive in a wide range of environments. Human infections are associated not only with animal food sources, but also with pets, reptiles, fruits, vegetables, and other humans. However, poultry and poultry products are considered as one of the most important sources of human Salmonella infections (Batz et al., 2012). More...

Introduction : Multiple factors can influence both Salmonella prevalence and diversity of Salmonella serogroups detected from both pre- and post-harvest samples. Sampling methodologies vary widely when sampling the environment, individual live birds, carcasses, and parts. Furthermore, protocols for analyzing the samples following collection can also impact both prevalence and serogroup diversity. With more than 2,400 serotypes, it is reasonable to expect that...

Background Salmonella contaminated animal feed is a major source for introducing Salmonella into the animal feed and food chain [1,2]. A striking example emphasizing the potential of contaminated animal feed to act as a source of Salmonella infections in humans occurred when S. Agona emerged as a public health problem in several countries due to the spread of contaminated imported fish meal used as animal feed. In the USA a rapid increase of human infections with S. Agona...

In the European Union (EU), efforts are in place to minimize human food-borne Salmonella infections from animal-derived food. Special attention is given to animal feed (1) in line with EU regulation (EC) No 178/ 2002 (known as the ‘Food Law’), which considers animal feed as the first link of the animal-derived food chain. A quantitative risk assessment concluded that in both breeder and slaughter pigs, infected incoming pigs and Salmonella-contaminated feed are the two major...

INTRODUCTION It is estimated that Salmonella causes 1 million illnesses and 380 deaths per year in the U.S and the cost associated with foodborne salmonellosis is estimated in excess of $2.7 billion annually (CDC., 2014b). S. Typhimurium and S. Heidelberg are among the top 10 Salmonella serovars associated with human cases. Poultry products are frequently implicated as the source of human Salmonella infections. Multidrug resistant S. Heidelberg have been implicated in several...
