| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> Aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence
of Salmonella along with pathological investigation in poultry.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of 200 birds were selected
randomly for collection of serum for serum plate agglutination
test and 28 samples were collected from suspected
birds for gross and histopathological study. Serum plate agglutination
test was performed for detection of seroprevalence
and routine histopathological method was used.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of 200 samples, 76 birds were Salmonellapositive
giving the overall seroprevalence of 38.0%. Various
macroscopically and microscopically pathologic lesions
observed especially in the liver (haemorrhage, necrotic foci,
heterophil infiltration) and intestine (goblet cell proliferation).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Further studies are need for the determination
of the presence of Salmonella infection in farms of Bangladesh. |
