Abstract | ||||
Out of 180 freshly dead one-day up to 3-weeks old turkey poults as well as 500 faecal cloacal swabs from apparently healthy turkeys, 82 strains of Salmonella were isolated. The isolated strains were serologically differentiated into 5 serotypes: S. anatum (28 isolates), S. typhi-murium (19), S. thompson (15), S. meleagridis (14) and S. chester (6). The pathogenicity of the isolated serotypes was studied. In vitro the most effective drugs were found to be, Ampicillin, Furazolidone and Chloramphenicol. Field trials showed the efficacy of Ampicillin and Furazolidone as well as the sanitary precautions for controlling an outbreak of Salmonella infection among poults in a turkey farm. | ||||
