Salmonellosis Alert: Dangerous for Animals & Humans! Symptoms & Prevention

• Salmonellosis, caused by Salmonella bacteria, severely impacts animal health, especially cows, reducing milk production and affecting calf development.
• Symptoms in animals include high fever, watery/bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weakness, potentially leading to fatal outcomes and financial losses for farmers.
• The disease spreads rapidly among animals through feces, contaminated water, and feed, affecting entire farms.
• Salmonellosis poses a risk to humans, with infectious variants potentially causing typhoid.
• Prevention involves providing clean feed/water, hand hygiene, isolating sick animals, quarantining new animals, and immediate veterinary consultation.
