Abstract

Aim: Purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence and seasonal occurrence of salmonellosis carried out in Maiduguri.

Method and materials: A total of 985 cases of poultry brought to the VTH during the period from 2018 to 2022 and were taken into consideration in this study. The disease was diagnosed based on history/clinical signs, necropsy and microbiology.

Results: The result of the study showed that 17.25%, 11.97% and 10.05% of the cases were diagnosed. It was the highest prevalence of salmonellosis in 2021. The study also found a significant association between salmonellosis and season (p˂0.05, CI= 1.6033 to 3.7423, O.D 2.23).

Conclusion: It was concluded that the prevalence in this study is important in view of the economic importance of this disease.
