| Abstract | ||||
| A total of 150 cecal samples and 200 broiler carcass skin samples were collected randomly from local broiler slaughter shops around Irbid, Jordan. The prevalence rate of different Salmonella serogroups was 24% and ranged from 0 to 80% in the broiler ceca. The prevalence rate of Salmonella in the broiler carcasses was 49% and ranged from 25% to 77.5%. These results indicate the high prevalence rate of Salmonella carriers in broilers and a high contamination rate of broiler carcasses with Salmonella in the local broiler slaughter-shops. The risk of human Salmonella food poisoning from broiler was discussed. | ||||
