| Abstract | ||||
| Samples from 50 water troughs actually used for different sp ecies of farm animals were examined bacteriologically to evaluate their hygienic quality. The results obtained revealed that Coliform organisms were found in considerable numbers in most of samples examined which indicate pollution. It is epidemiologically significant that the abundance of the potentially p < /strong>athogenic isolates demonstrate the unhygienic con ditions existing in most farms investigated, especially in dairy farms which have a direct relation to public health. Periodical cleaning and disinfection of water troughs in different farms is recommended. | ||||
