Salmonella Discovered On Poultry Farms
An investigation has been launched after Salmonella was found on seven different poultry farms.
According to reports, both the Health Service Executive and the Food Safety Authority have been notified. The Department of Agriculture is understood to be investigating the outbreak after chickens on the farms tested positive for Salmonella Enteritidis.
The source of the infection is still being determined. The strain, however, is not thought to cause any clinical disease in poultry, but could pose a health risk to those who closely handle infested birds.
