<i>Salmonella</i> bacteria in farm animal feeds. Review by N. B. Shadrova, O. V. Pruntova, G. S. Skitovich, О. А. Akulich

“…It was found that the overall pooled prevalence estimates of Salmonella was 0.14: with a prevalence of 0.18 in raw feed components, 0.09 – in finished feed and 0.08 – in swabs from the surfaces of feed production equipment. The probability of contaminating raw animal feed components with Salmonella is 3.9 times higher than that for raw vegetable feeds. …”
