Abstract
Avian salmonellosis affects the poultry industry in underdeveloped and in developed countries. The aim of this study was to identify the most common Salmonella serovars in broilers and laying breeding reproducers in Eastern Algeria according to the ISO 6579 method. A total of 294 samples were obtained from two flocks of 10,000 broilers and laying breeding reproducers. Samples included livers and spleens, drag swabs of bottom boxes of young chickens, cloacal swabs, and faecal samples of chickens. Additional samples were also taken from water, feed and dusty surfaces. Only the cloacal swabs, poultry faeces and samples from dusty surfaces were positive for Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Livingstone with a detection rate of 12% and 1.6% respectively. The results showed evidence of legislative failure regarding biosafety within the poultry industry in the area of Batna, Eastern Algeria.
Highlights
Salmonellosis is the main collective food-borne disease of human beings, caused by many serotypes of Salmonella enterica
No Salmonella pathogens were found in water but contamination from coliforms exceeded acceptable values, in all cases being above 25 X 103
The seven Salmonella from the faecal samples, the nest box, roosts, and litter were serotyped as S.Typhimurium
Summary
Salmonellosis is the main collective food-borne disease of human beings, caused by many serotypes of Salmonella enterica. Poultry products and derivatives have been implicated in Salmonella zoonoses in both developed and underdeveloped countries. The development of food-borne disease in humans caused by S. This work was undertaken to investigate Salmonella serovars in the parental laying poults and broiler chicken poultry industry, to identify the prevalent Salmonella species, and to determine the bacteria’s sensitivity to antimicrobial agents. Avian salmonellosis affects the poultry industry in underdeveloped and in developed countries. The aim of this study was to identify the most common Salmonella serovars in broilers and laying breeding reproducers in Eastern Algeria according to the ISO 6579 method. Results and conclusions: Only the cloacal swabs, poultry faeces and samples from dusty surfaces were positive for Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Livingstone with a detection rate of 12% and 1.6% respectively. The results showed evidence of legislative failure regarding biosafety within the poultry industry in the area of Batna, Eastern Algeria
