SALMONELLA SPP. E MYCOPLASMA NA AVICULTURA FAMILIAR NO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO SEBASTIÃO DE LAGOA DE ROÇA - PB

Abstract

The occurrence of salmonellosis and avian mycoplasmosis is known worldwide and has an important impact on poultry production, mainly because it has vertical and horizontal transmission, which increases the risk of dissemination in poultry. The production of goats is an economic activity that provides high quality and low cost animal protein in relation to industrial production, however, due to the scarce management practices used in the creation of backyard or backyard grounds, and due to the susceptibility of these birds to several diseases, Salmonella and Mycoplasma infections become common. The present work had the objective of verifying the sanitary profile of henlings of family farms in the municipality of São Sebastião de Lagoa de Roça, a mesoregion of Agreste Paraibano. For this, 36 cecal fecal samples and 40 bird blood samples were analyzed using the isolation and rapid serum agglutination (SAR) methods. Of the 36 cecal feces samples analyzed, 5 (13.89%) were positive for the genus salmonella spp. and 31 (86.11%) negative. Of the 40 blood samples for serum agglutination analysis, zero (0%) was positive for salmonella pullorum, and 29 (72.50%) were positive for mycoplasma. Taking into account other similar studies that also had a low frequency of positivity for salmonella spp and a considerable frequency for mycoplasma, the necessary precautions should not be neglected, especially with the appropriate management to try to minimize to the maximum or even to eliminate such pathogens from the planteais poultry.
