The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of Salmonella spp in poultry, eggs as well as in the environment of slaughterhouses in Mansehra district. Also in milks available in dairies and at home. To our knowledge, this is the first study conducted in Mansehra district to address this issue. Foods such as milk and poultry are widely used and therefore act as a source of transmission of diseases, including salmonella, to individuals. Salmonella in poultry. According to our research plan to detect salmonella in poultry and poultry products, three types of samples were collected1) Environmental swab: it was collected from the place or cages where the slaughterhouse keeps the chickens that are to be slaughtered . Food and water are provided to them here and hence the chickens also excrete feces there.2) Intestinal sample: It was taken from the freshly slaughtered chicken to know the salmonella contamination of the intestine which can act as a source of environmental contamination and other healthy chickens.3) Breast sample: It was taken from freshly slaughtered chickens to know the infection level of a particular chicken. The three samples have a close relationship with each other. If the environment is contaminated, it constitutes a source of infection for healthy chickens. And if the chickens are infected (either their infection is in the initial stage, which means the salmonella is present only in the intestine, or at a later stage, which means it spreads throughout the body), they contaminate also the environment. It has been reported that salmonella can survive in dust. poultry houses for at least 53 weeks (Wray, 1996). And up to 26 months in the thin layers of litter, dried faeces and animal feed (Davi...... middle of paper ......key to transmission of salmonella to milk consumers. Additionally , the study showed that cow's milk has more risks of contamination during transport to dairies, processing and handling in dairies And this is the reason why the risks of contamination are twice as high. for cow's milk than for domestic milks Different researchers analyzed raw milk samples in different locations and countries around the world and reported different data on milk contamination than those reported by. (Karns JS, 2005) which are 11.8%, 2.6% and 0.0% reported by (Van Kessel JS, 2004) and Mhone et al (2012). salmonella spp. in different areas are due to the hygiene of the particular area, the way of handling and processing the milk.
