Abstract
The mean isolation rates of salmonellas from the mesenteric lymph nodes and faeces of healthy mink were 16·7% of 618 animals from three farms and 3·9% of 772 animals from four farms respectively. Salmonella senftenberg was the most commonly isolated serotype. S. typhimurium, S. dublin, S. livingstone, S. menston, S. enteritidis, S. bredeney and S. infantis were also seen.
The prevalence of salmonellosis in 316 dead mink from 12 farms was 0·6%.
The epidemiological aspects are discussed.
