Salmonella
Infection of poultry with salmonella is a very important subject and you are advised to go to the DEFRA web site for advice on control in poultry as well as our own web site www.salmonella.org.uk. The consequences of salmonella infection are possible human disease and also high mortality in young and old birds. The type of salmonella is important and you should consult your vet for detailed advice. Sampling of faeces and house dust can be carried out but it must be remembered that there are tight controls on positive farms, you should therefore speak to a vet to seek further advice
