Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of Salmonella Enteritidis found in two broiler chicken operations, focusing on both its genetic and phenotypic traits.
- The research revealed that key virulence genes were widespread among the S. Enteritidis isolates, indicating their potential for causing disease, with varying patterns of resistance to antibiotics observed.
- A total of 31 isolates were identified and differentiated based on their genetic patterns, with significant variations noted between the two chicken operations studied.
Controlling Salmonella in integrated broiler operation is complicated because there are numerous potential sources of Salmonella contamination, including chicks, feed, rodents, wild poultry operations, and the processing plant. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of Salmonella through all phases of two integrated broiler operations and to determine the key areas related to the control of all known sources of infection. Two different Salmonella serotypes were observed at integrated broiler chicken company A.
