Salmonella Control Programme in France: Factors Influencing the Detection of Salmonella in Laying Hen Flocks From 2013 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Salmonellosis is the second leading foodborne illness in the European Union. Eggs are still an important source of Salmonella despite an EU-harmonised control programme in laying hen flocks. The objective of our study was to identify the characteristics related to poultry house (location, type of housing system) and sampling (sampler, type and number of samples, date) associated with the detection of Salmonella target serovars (STS) in France (S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium, three monophasic variants of S. typhimurium and S. Kentucky).

Methods

For the first time since the implementation of the EU target prevalence in 2010, we compiled the results of bacteriological detection of Salmonella in French laying hen flocks (108,718 sampling events carried out in 4744 p
