Survey Of Salmonella Species Among Poultry Birds In Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Farm.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to
investigate the prevalence of Salmonella species among poultry birds in Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture(MOUA) Farm. Thirty (30)cloacal swab samples
were collected as well as ten (10) environmental swab samples from different
poultry houses. Thirty (31) representing 77.5% of the samples produced growth
of Salmonella species while the rest nine (9) representing 22.5% showed no
growth. Twenty one (21) cloacal swabs representing 70% were positive and all of
the ten (10) environmental swabs representing 100% yielded bacterial growth
.The antibiotic sensitivity testing revealed that a total of 3 1(100%) isolates
were sensitive to nitrofurantoin and none to tetracycline .These results showed
a high level of prevalence of Salmonella species in the MOUA poultry farm and
suggest the need to institute Salmonella control in the farm.
