Samonella Species Associated With Poultry Droppings, Poultry Feed, Poultry Litters And Poultry Drinking Water Sources In Selected Poultry Farms In Umudike, Abia State
ABSTRACT
Human and animal infections caused by
Salmonella species remains a significant public health problem worldwide. This
study was conducted to isolate and identify Salmonella from poultry • farms in
Umudike, Abia State during the period of July to September, 2018. A total of 45
samples (droppings, litters, water and feed) was taken from four (4) poultry
farms located in tJmudlkc area and was Investigated for the presence of
Salmonella. Isolation of Salmonella was carried out In dllThrentlal and
selective media idler enrichment in Scicnitc-1'-hroth and Incubated aerobically
at 37°C for 24hrs. After incubation, colonies were identified by cultural
characteristics, Gram staining techniques and biochemical reactions like Indole
test, Hydrogen Suiphide Production (I-I2S) test and Citrate Utilization test. A
total of twenty-three isolates were obtained from the forty-five samples,
droppings 7(30.43%), litters 4(17.39%), drinking water 8(34.78%!), and feed
4(17.39%)!. Number of samples without growth was 22(48.89%). From this work,
the detection of Salmonella in poultry farms poses health hazard to humans and
other birds.
