Occurrence of Salmonella in German poultry and poultry meat - 1. Smallestablishments with on-site slaughter and marketing facilities [German]

摘要

In 1999, a research project on the occurrence of Salmonella in German farm poultry and poultry meat was performed under the supervision of the BgVV aimed at collecting data on the degree of infection and contamination of broilers in small establishments with on-site slaughter and marketing facilities. Sampling was performed in 5 regions of Germany. A total of 24 small establishments in these regions had consented to participate in the research project. As a rule, samples were taken from 3 flocks per feedlot, if possible in directly successive fattening periods, so that finally 62 flocks from small establishments were examined for the occurrence of salmonellas. Depending on the size of the poultry houses, 6-10 faeces samples were collected from sock samples and neck skin samples were taken from 10 freshly slaughtered chickens.
