The Control of Salmonella Infections in Poultry
Control of Salmonella in poultry is a public health concern as Salmonella are a leading cause of human food poisoning. Poultry is not the only possible source of salmonellosis, but it is known to be a major global reservoir of Salmonellas.
Salmonellas are widely distributed in nature, they are commonly carried by wild-animal vectors, young poultry are particularly susceptible to infection. Effective control depends upon a number of factors, including improved on-farm biosecurity, use of ‘best practices’ in husbandry and use of vaccination and competitive exclusion products.
