چکیده

salmonella spp. are important food borne pathogens worldwide that frequently infect poultry flocks. this cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of salmonella spp. colonization in broiler flocks in shiraz (southern iran) and to find the possible association of infection status with some potential risk factors including vaccination program and use of antibiotics. during october 2009 to april 2010, a total of 40 broiler flocks were selected in slaughterhouse and 20 cloacae contents were collected from each flock. every five cloacae contents were pooled and investigated for salmonella spp. using appropriate culture methods. the flock was considered positive if any of the pooled samples turned positive in culture. statistical analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression. nine out of 40 flocks (22.50%, 95% ci: 9-36) were positive for salmonella spp. colonization. nearly 75.00% of flock owners reported that they used antibiotics during production period, more frequently fluoroquinolones, combination of trimethoprim-sulfonamides (tmp/su) and tetracycline. nearly 60.00% of the flocks which had used tmp/su were positive for salmonella spp. compared with 10.00% of the flocks which did not use this antibiotic (p = 0.006). increasing flock age was associated with a decreased chance of salmonella spp. detection (p = 0.003). in flocks which received infectious bronchitis vaccine, 36.00% were positive for salmonella spp. whereas this was 15.00% for flocks which did not receive this vaccine (p = 0.08). careful monitoring of antibiotics use and further studies to determine the most appropriate vaccination program in the field is recommended.

Risk factors for Campylobacter spp. colonization in broiler flocks in Iceland.

We sampled 1,091 Icelandic broiler flocks at slaughter from May 2001 to December 2003 to determine the prevalence of, and investigate risk factors for the presence of, Campylobacter spp. at the flock level. Approximately 15% of the flocks were positive for Campylobacter spp.; most (95%) of the infected flocks being raised during the months of April-September. Based on the data from the latter m...

Risk Factors and Likelihood of Campylobacter Colonization in Broiler Flocks

Campylobacter was investigated in cecal droppings, feces, and cloacal swabs of 22 flocks of 3 to 5 week-old broilers. Risk factors and the likelihood of the presence of this agent in these flocks were determined. Management practices, such as cleaning and disinfection, feeding, drinkers, and litter treatments, were assessed. Results were evaluated using Odds Ratio (OR) test, and their significa...
