dc.description.abstract

A survey was conducted to determine the relative prevalence of Salmonella serovars on whole chicken carcasses before and after processing in 3 Australian poultry abattoirs. Ninety and 180 whole chicken carcasses were tested for Salmonella serovars before and after processing, respectively. Each carcass was subjected to a buffered peptone water rinse according to Australian Standard methodologies and Salmonella prevalence was determined using Australian Standard methodologies. After isolation, Salmonella isolates were serotyped and results were analyzed to determine the relative percentage of each serovar at both processing points. Salmonella Sofia was shown to significantly increase its relative prevalence (P = 0.05) after processing and proved to be the dominant serovar accounting for 45/89 (51%) isolations before processing and 51/69 (74%) isolations after processing. The reasons for the increased relative prevalence of Salmonella Sofia are currently unknown and require further investigation but may involve factors related to prevalence and numbers on chickens and the ability of Salmonella Sofia to respond to environmental stressors and attach to surfaces. © 2010 Poultry Science Association Inc.
