Salmonellosis Incidence in Farm Animals and Poultry

Preventing and reducing the incidence of zooanthroponotic diseases in animals and birds is a prerequisite for the functioning of livestock and poultry farms. This is also relevant to the incidence of salmonellosis in farm animals and poultry, as the livestock (including poultry) industry produces products that may be contaminated with salmonella and dangerous to humans under certain conditions. The implementation of a wide range of preventive measures aimed at protecting the population from diseases common to humans and animals, and ensuring the veterinary and sanitary safety of livestock and poultry products are the main tasks of veterinary professionals in ensuring biological security. The article presents the results of the analysis of the incidence of salmonellosis in farm animals (cattle), small cattle, pigs, horses and poultry in livestock and poultry farms of our country, and the data of laboratory tests for the detection of salmonella in biological material of various types of animals and poultry in the period from 2018 to 2020, taking into account the data of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The retrospective analysis of the incidence of the disease in Russian farms showed that during the study period, salmonellosis in farm animals and poultry was registered in 91 unfavourable points, where the total number of diseased animals and poultry was 422 heads. Bacteriological examinations of biological material from farm animals and poultry for salmonellosis were carried out on a total of 827,732 samples during the study period; salmonellosis was confirmed in 2926 samples and the following serovarieties were detected: S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium, S. dublin, S. gallinarum, S. pullorum, S. abortus equi, S. infantis.
