Abstract
Three thousand and forty-two samples of post-mortem tissues, environmental swabs, animal feed ingredients and eggs were examined by conventional methods and by a simple rapid culture method. The rapid method gave reliable presumptive identification of salmonella contamination within 48 h of the start of culture. The rapid method also showed enhanced sensitivity for detection of salmonellas, in most types of sample, particularly those taken in poultry houses and hatcheries where high levels of competitive faecal bacteria are present.Keywords
