The ' overshoe method ' utilizing several pairs of overshoes provided the highest sensitivity for determining the salmonella status of the broilers during rearing.
However, although this was the case in flock 1, no salmonella was subsequently isolated from the caecal drops or overshoes in this flock.
For each flock, a minimum of 21 samples (overshoes and caecal drops) were analysed.
Samples were taken inside the broiler house : several pools of 10 caecal drops, several pairs of overshoes, feed and drinking water.
In this study overshoes proved to be the best type of sample for this purpose and the highest shedding of salmonella occurred after 2-4 weeks rearing.
