In a· further study of salmonella infection in animals being slaughtered at meatworks, 6.6% of 1,357 calves and 9.9% of 876 pigs were found to have salmonellae in one or more of the faeces or tissue samples examined. In addition salmonellae were isolated from 32 of 310 calves sampled by nasal swab shortly after slaughter. S. typhimurium was the most common serotype in both calves and pigs, but in pigs S. anatum and S. derby were almost as prevalent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
