Seroprevalence of Salmonella spp. infection in different types of poultry and biosecurity measures associated with Salmonellosis

Abstract

Salmonella spp. infection is considered a crucial trouble of the poultry industry in Bangladesh. Hence, this study was aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of Salmonella spp. in poultry along with biosecurity practices that are associated with this Salmonella spp. infection. The study was conducted during the period from January to September, 2021 in Mymensingh and Gazipur district of Bangladesh. A total of 314 samples were considered to determine the seroprevalence. Seroprevalence was determined by performing the rapid serum plate agglutination test. The result revealed that the overall Salmonella spp. seroprevalence was 47.77% in the study area. The higher seroprevalence was in Mymensingh (51.59%) than Gazipur (45.21%) without significant (p>0.05) difference. The highest seroprevalence was in broiler (51.33%) where in layer and sonali was 32.67% and 16% respectively. Seroprevalence was significantly (p<0.05) higher in summer for layer (56.45%), broiler (60.64%) and sonali (51.22%) than the winter seasons. In layer farms, the flock size of >2000 to <2500 had significantly (p<0.05) higher (71.43%) seroprevalence. In broiler farms, 15 to 30 days old birds had significantly (p<0.01) higher (77.05%) seroprevalence than other age. Among the different categorical level of biosecurity practices, the poultry farms that used surface water (OR=0.182, 95% CI=0.106-0.314); disinfectant regularly (OR=0.296, 95% CI=0.171-0.511); having density of 8-10 birds/meter2 (OR=0.379, 95% CI=0.219-0.654); cleaned waterer and feeder regularly (OR=0.503, 95% CI=0.294-0.862); and having visitor restriction (OR=0.375, 95% CI=0.219-0.643) showed lower tendency (p<0.001) to seroprevalence. In brief, Strict farm hygienic practice and biosecurity measures are significantly linked to decrease the Salmonella spp. seroprevalence.
