SUMMARYCaecal samples from 350 Danish bacon pigs were investigated for salmonella using three methods of isolation. The MK media with and without pre-enrichment yielded higher findings than the RV 10 media. In total, 28 (8 %O) of the pigs were found positive, representing 11 (7 4 00) of a total of 142 herds investigated. Lymph glands were collected at a later date from six of the positive herds. Five of the herds were found positive. The number of salmonellas in the glands was low, probably less than ten per gram.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
