Journal Title: Journal of Animal Production Advances - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The study on the isolation of Salmonella in raw milk marketed in Tandojam town was carried out and raw milk samples were collected from village Saleh Makrani, Tandojam city and Moosa Khatiyan. Eleven milk samples from Saleh Makrani, thirty from Tandojam city and eleven from Moosa Khatiyan were collected which totaled 52 samples. Results indicated that of 2 milk samples collected from Village Saleh Makrani, 2 from Moosa Khatiyan and 4 from Tandojam city were found positive for Salmonella. Of the total 52 milk samples, Salmonella species was confirmed in eight samples. The overall prevalence of Salmonella was in the minimum-maximum range of 13.33-18.18 percent, showing average Salmonella prevalence of 15.38 percent. Hence the prevalence of Salmonella in milk was relatively higher in the samples collected from village of Haji Muhammad Saleh and Mossa Khatiyan.
