Salmonella Spotlight: Exploring Salmonella
The most common cause for Salmonella in humans is infected poultry products such as meat and eggs, making outbreaks among poultry flocks concerning.
In this report, we shine a spotlight on the history of Salmonella, its survivability, the signs of infection, the emerging threats and what you should do if you suspect Salmonella in your flock.
Precautions to take to protect your flock
- Ensuring the use of Salmonella-negative feed, treated specifically to ensure it is not contaminated with the bacteria
- Chlorinating drinking water
- Effective pest control measures
- Reducing the potential for interaction with wild birds
- Maintaining poultry sheds in a good state of repair
- Ensuring all equipment used in the housing area is thoroughly disinfected before and after use
