Prevalence of salmonella spp. and mycoplasma gallisepticum in poultry multi-species farms /

This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella spp. and Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) in typical Malaysian poultry multi-species farms. In this study, a total of 156 samples were taken from two farms in Selangor and Perak. A total of 122 samples were taken from 113 samples of...

520 |a This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella spp. and Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) in typical Malaysian poultry multi-species farms. In this study, a total of 156 samples were taken from two farms in Selangor and Perak. A total of 122 samples were taken from 113 samples of village chickens, duck, and turkeys including 9 environmental poultry droppings in Farm A. In Farm B, 28 samples were taken from village chickens, French geese and 6 environmental poultry dropping. Cloacal and choanal cleft swabs from 141 birds and 15 environmental poultry droppings were taken separately. Salmonella spp. was isolated from 10 (6.4%) out of 156 samples, where three isolates (30.0%) were identified as Salmonella enteritidis and the remaining 7 isolates (70.0%) were unidentified Salmonella spp. Mycoplasma was isolated from 110 (78.0%) out of 141 birds. Ninety seven (88.2%) samples were positive for glucose fermentations tests. Haemadsorption test revealed all samples were nonpathogenic Mycoplasma, which could be M. gallinarum. However, Indirect Fluorescent Antibody (IFA) test revealed that only one (1) sample was positive for MG. Based on Salmonella and Mycoplasma isolation results, there were significant differences in the prevalence of Salmonella among the species of poultry. However, the prevalence for MG was not significant among the species of poultry since the isolation of MG was very low. Salmonella and MG infection were more predominant in chickens, followed by ducks, geese and turkeys.
