Messages about Salmonella in raw pets feed in the United Kingdom again decreased from the record levels observed in 2022.
The animal and plant health agency (APHA) collected data on salmonella from animals, feeding and by -products of animals (ABP) in England, Wales and Scotland.
The number of positive results from cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry decreased by 16.2 percent to 3043 in 2024 compared to a year earlier. The trends were mixed throughout Serovars, since the reports of Salmonella Indiana and Salmonella Newport are almost three times more than in 2023. However, Salmonella Infantis and Salmonella Montevideo decreased.
There were 795 isolations from the supply to the feed, including 69 of the component feed, 55 of the feed ingredients and 671 from products related to testing in accordance with the rules of by -products of animals. This has been reduced since 2023. There were 190 isolations of adjustable seroviks, which are also reduced since 2023. They included Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella -Taifimuria and Salmonella Enteritidis.
There were 290 messages about Salmonella from raw pets feed. This is below 331 reports in 2023 and 406 in 2022. The most common Serovars were Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella Indiana and Salmonella Typhimurium. In 2023, there were 95 results of regulated seroviks, compared with 99 in 2023.
Contaminated raw food for pets, which is not subjected to heat treatment, is a potential source of infection both for animals consuming it and people who cope with it, especially if insufficient hygiene measures are observed.
In 2024, the British Healthcare Safety Agency (UKHSA) reported 10,388 cases when England was reported in the healthcare security agency (UKHSA). The most common type was Salmonella Enteritidis, and then Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella NewPort and Salmonella Java.
Livestock bets
In 2024, Salmonella had 366 of cattle from cattle, which is 16 percent lower than in 2023. As in previous years, Salmonella Dublin remained the most common type. Salmonella Typhimurium was the second while Salmonella Mbandaka was the third.
Insulation from sheep grew from 98 to 101. Salmonella Enterica subspecies Diarzonae Serovar 61 (K): 1.5, (7) remained the most common Serovar. Salmonella Dublin and Salmonella Montevideo were in the skin.
Pig insulations increased by 20.5 percent to 311. Salmonella Typhimurium and monophasic salmonella Typhimurium were responsible for 226 isolations.
Including the National Control Program (NCP) and not staturistic observation data, in 2024 there were 1961 Salmonella insulation from chickens, decreasing from 2023.
The main Serovars were Salmonella Idikan, Salmonella Kedougou and Salmonella Montevideo. The estimated prevalence of adjustable Serovaries during propagation, laying chicken and herd -breeders was lower than national goals of 1 percent for breeders, 2 percent for layers and 1 percent for broilers. It was estimated at 0.35 percent for breeders, 0.24 percent for layers and 0.03 percent for broilers.
Including the data of NCP and non -meturian surveillance, in 2024 there were 108 isolations from turkeys, which is similar to the levels in 2023. The most common Serovars were Salmonella Anatum and Salmonella Kedougou. The prevalence of adjustable Serovaries was 0.32 percent for turkey plates and 0.67 percent for breeders. National goals are set at 1 percent for these production sectors.
Salmonella also reported to horses, ducks, pigeons, dogs and deer.
