<i>Salmonella</i> in the slaughter sheep population in England and Wales
Our study has assessed Salmonella carriage among sheep presented for slaughter and intended for the food chain and found 8.5% of samples positive. It provides an improved understanding of the prevalence, distribution, and subtypes of Salmonella in slaughter sheep of different ages, indicating that older sheep were more often associated with isolation of Salmonella.
