“…Although results are highly variable, depending on the temperature and moisture content of pellets, in most studies pelleted feeds are less contaminated than mash feeds. Cox et al (1983) detected Salmonella in 58% of mash feed samples compared to zero per cent in pelleted feed samples. Pelleting, however, does not preclude Salmonella contamination of the finished products.…”

Broiler meat is one of the sources of Salmonella contamination of humans. Concerns about food safety have prompted the poultry industry and governments to introduce control plans to combat Salmonella. This has been strengthened by legislation, as is the case in the EU, where targets have been set forcing member states to decrease Salmonella prevalence in poultry flocks. Strategies to prevent transmission of Salmonella to humans should focus on the whole production chain of broiler meat and on the subsequent storage and handling of meat, thus from farm to fork. In the primary production phase, both hygienic measures and general farm management strategies are important. These management strategies should include in-feed Salmonella control and product administration. A wide range of feed additives is currently available for that purpose. Hygienic measures and logistic slaughter are tools to reduce the Salmonella contamination in the slaughterhouse. At retail and in the consumer's kitchen, care needs to be taken of product storage and handling to avoid contamination and bacterial growth. The numbers of contaminated Salmonella broiler flocks will most likely decrease in the future due to the established action plans, but complete eradication of Salmonella is unrealistic. The main issue is, however, to keep the flock prevalence, the within-flock prevalence and the numbers of bacteria in infected animals at such a low level, that contamination of meat, and thus transmission to humans, becomes a highly unlikely event. This clearly underlines the need for coordinated action of governments and poultry-related industries (including feed industry and slaughterhouses), at all stages of the production chain

“…The Salmonella isolation rate in this surveillance was not as high as that reported by Cox et al [2], Veldman et al [16] and Davies and Wray [3]. Davies and Wray [3] reported that S. Enteritidis was isolated on one occasion from an intake pit spillage but not from any bagger ones in a feed mill which 26 serovars of Salmonella were frequently isolated.…”

Whilst Cox et al [2] or Veldman et al [16] did not S. Enteritidis from any feeds. The Salmonella isolation rate from feed samples seems to relate to that from eggs in this area (unpublished data).…”

“…These vectors, in turn, could be responsible for perpetuating Salmonella transmission among birds. Feed and feeder contents have been reported as major sources of horizontal transmission of Salmonella in poultry houses (MacKenzie and Bains, 1976;Cox et al, 1983;Jones et al, 1991). McIlroy (1998) reported that about 15% of feed samples tested positive for Salmonella.…”

1. A comprehensive ecological survey was conducted from April 1997 to June 1999 on 4 turkey flocks (F1 to F4) to identify key pre-harvest sources/vectors of Salmonella colonisation. 2. Turkey caecal and crop content, litter, drinker, air, feed, feeder and environmental swab samples were collected. Conventional microbiological and serological procedures were used to isolate, identify, and confirm the presence or absence of Salmonella. 3. Salmonella was isolated from 13% of litter, 11% of turkey caeca, 10% of drinker, 5% of environmental swab, 3% of feed and 1% of feeder samples. Salmonella heidelberg (65%), S. senftenberg (19%), S. muenster (10%), S. anatum (3%), and S. worthington (3%) were identified. 4. Identifying environmental sources associated with Salmonella colonisation and characterising serotypes would assist in designing pre-harvest controls for this poultry-borne pathogen. Integrators and poultry producers may be able to design hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) protocols to reduce the incidence of Salmonella arriving at the processing plant.
