“…Although research has been carried out on Salmonella ecology in chickens (Simmons and Byrnes, 1972;Bains and MacKenzie, 1974;Snoeyenbos et al, 1974;Dougherty, 1976;Morgan-Jones, 1980;Bhargava et al, 1983;Lahellec and Colin, 1985;Jones et al, 1991;Bailey, 1993), limited information is available on turkey flocks (Kumar et al, 1971;Hoover et al, 1997;Amick-Morris, 1998;Guo et al, 1999;Hafez and Jodas, 2000). Furthermore, rearing turkeys differs from rearing chickens.…”

“…These data were collected from two flocks. Simmons and Byrnes (1972) found that 92% of 56 litter samples from two chicken flocks were contaminated with one or more Salmonella serotypes. Drinkers are a primary vector of Salmonella transmission in poultry houses.…”

“…Simmons and Byrnes (1972) reported that 1-d-old chicks, feed, and litter were major sources of Salmonella contamination for chicken carcases sampled from two flocks. In order to prevent horizontal transmission of Salmonella, it is critical that poults entering the turkey house are free of Salmonella.…”

“…Once sources are identified, critical control points can be established at the farms to control horizontal and vertical transmission of Salmonella. A reduction in Salmonella-positive birds will reduce public health risks associated with poultry products (Simmons and Byrnes, 1972).…”

1. A comprehensive ecological survey was conducted from April 1997 to June 1999 on 4 turkey flocks (F1 to F4) to identify key pre-harvest sources/vectors of Salmonella colonisation. 2. Turkey caecal and crop content, litter, drinker, air, feed, feeder and environmental swab samples were collected. Conventional microbiological and serological procedures were used to isolate, identify, and confirm the presence or absence of Salmonella. 3. Salmonella was isolated from 13% of litter, 11% of turkey caeca, 10% of drinker, 5% of environmental swab, 3% of feed and 1% of feeder samples. Salmonella heidelberg (65%), S. senftenberg (19%), S. muenster (10%), S. anatum (3%), and S. worthington (3%) were identified. 4. Identifying environmental sources associated with Salmonella colonisation and characterising serotypes would assist in designing pre-harvest controls for this poultry-borne pathogen. Integrators and poultry producers may be able to design hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) protocols to reduce the incidence of Salmonella arriving at the processing plant.

Evaluation of Turkey Cecal Microflora in Protecting Day-Old Poults from Salmonella typhimurium Challenge

The oral administration of a 1:20 (wt/vol) dilution of adult turkey cecal contents to poults on the day of hatching protected more than 80% of the poults against challenge at 24 hr of age with approximately 10(3) colony-forming units (CFU) of a nalidixic-acid-resistant strain of Salmonella typhimurium. All untreated poults similarly challenged were colonized. Protection was lost when the challenge dose was 10(6) or greater. When the microflora treatment followed salmonella challenge by 6 hours or more, protection was reduced. If poults were colonized by S. typhimurium, the organisms were found always in the ceca and infrequently in other parts of the intestinal tract. When poults shedding salmonella were mixed with treated poults, more than 70% of the latter remained free of the organism.
