Broiler chicken is gaining popularity among the consumers of India. Since poultry is recognised as a leading food
vehicle for Salmonella contamination, the prevalence and distribution of Salmonella serotypes in broiler chickens
and processing environments of retail outlets has been studied. In the present study 214 samples of broiler
chicken and 311 environmental samples from cage were analysed for the presence of Salmonella. Of the various
body parts of live chicken analysed prevalence varied from 1.4% in cloacca to 6.9% in crop region. Environmental
samples from the cage showed higher prevalence of Salmonella ranging from0 to 16.67%. Apart from Salmonella
enteritidis, which was the predominant Salmonella serotype in the chickens as well as in the environmental
samples, other serotypes such as S. bareilly, S. cerro, S. mbandaka and S. moladewere also encountered. The results
of the research calls for strict hygiene standards for retail broiler chicken processing outlets |
