Traditional methods to detect Salmonella in poultry and trace outbreaks often fail to give the full picture of the threat in enough time for integrators to act. This lack of oversight limits the effectiveness of intervention strategies designed to mitigate Salmonella transmission.
The ability to process birds on farms and eliminate live transport offers some compelling benefits to the poultry industry whose customers are increasingly disconnected from animal agriculture.
Tightened-up feed-processing practices along with new hygienic feed options can help reduce salmonellosis outbreaks linked to poultry products, according to Tim Boltz, PhD, assistant professor of poultry nutrition and feed hygienics, Mississippi State University.
Years of painstaking research to discover how Salmonella metabolically survive is yielding unusual insights into these resourceful bacteria.
Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial-derived gastroenteritis in the US, due to its ability to asymptomatically reside within the intestinal tracts of poultry.
Chicken makes quite the journey to the consumer’s table and NCC’s 360° Virtual Experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at every step of a broiler chicken’s life.
Today, Salmonella has evolved to become adept at fecal-respiratory transmission in turkeys, according to Billy Hargis, DVM, PhD, distinguished professor of poultry science at the University of Arkansas.
Nikki Shariat, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Georgia, presented her research on profiling Salmonella serotypes through broiler processing at the 2023 IPPE.
On-farm research reveals a tough road ahead for broiler farms trying to reduce levels of Campylobacter jejuni, the major cause of bacterial foodborne illness in humans in the US, according to the CDC.
