English Abstract

Salmonella enterica in production animals is predominantly a public health hazard.

However certain serovars can cause clinical disease in animals and mostly young animals are at risk.

Bacteriological examination of 640 faecal samples collected from apparent healthy (250) and diarrhoeic cattle (390) for the presence of Salmonella organisms revealed that isolation of 12 Salmonella isolates with an overall incidence 1.87 %.Four isolates were recovered from apparent healthy cattle with a percentage rate 1.6 %, while 8 isolates were recovered from diarrhoeic cattle with a percentage rate 2.05%.

Bacteriological examination of faecal samples taken from the cow calves (140) and buffalo calves (115) suffering from diarrhea revealed the isolation of Salmonella organisms with an incidence 3.6% and 1.7% respectively.

Salmonella were isolated from diarrhoeic cow with an incidence 1.5% while no Salmonella organisms could be isolated from diarrhoeic buffalo
