RESUMO

The contamination of poultry carcasses by Salmonella is directly related to the contamination levels presented by the chickens when it enters the slaughterhouse. The experiments presented here aimed to the study of the dinamics of Salmonella in the bowells of chickens before slaughtering, including the effect of lactose in the diet (5% in the food) and the destruction of the intestinal microbial community by antibiotic use. In some experiments, the poultry were stressed out by feed and water withdrawal. Thirtyfive-day old birds, raised comercially and salmonella-free, were infected by Salmonella Enteritidis (S.E.), S. Typhimurium (S.T.) by oral inoculation of 1,0 ml of bacterial suspension. The effect of different treatments on the chickens weight was measured by comparing their weights afier one week from the beginning of the different treatments. The lactose effect seen only noticed to the consistency of the feces and had little effect on the weight gain. In some cases, the chickens from the inoculated groups had a smaller weight gain in comparison to the control group. It was not possible to evaluate the effect of lactose in the reduction of Salmonella population, because the infection did not take place afier the inoculation. S.E. or S.T. did not induce the dEwelopment of infection, detectable in 24h, in 35-day old birds, afier inoculation of suspensions with concentrations ranging from 10 POT.3 to 10 POT. 8 cfu/ml.The water and nutritional stresses evoked a slight increase in the bowell colonization and reduction of the excretion of the infectious agent from the gastrointestinal tract of the chicken. Previous treatment of birds with the antibiotic flumequine for three consecutive days, followed by inoculation with 10 POT. 8 cfu.suspension of S.E., did not enhance the intestine colonization by the agent, even with the intestinal microbial community "unstabilized" by the antibiotic. The chicken presented intense contamination of the inglúvio 30 minutes past the inoculation and fast translocation of the pathogens to the caecum in the second hour post inoculation, with rapid decrease of the colonization process. Only in that period of two hours ( a 2h period was enough) was possible to reisolate S.E. from the liver of some chickens. The crop and caecum were under the most intense colonization by the pathogen. The Salmonella strains retained the ability to colonize intensively the intestines of the poultry, when inoculated in 1-day old chicks. These data suggest that the infection of 35-day old birds, comercially grown, is self-limiting and stays for at least 24 h in the intestines of these birds
