The survival of Salmonella enteritidis in fish meal, maize, mixtures for la
ying hens and in deep litter was studied for four months. S. enteritidis su
rvived best in deep litter and worst in fish meal and feed. The recovered b
acterial strains from the fish meat and poultry meat were compared. Our exp
eriment showed that the meal strain had survived in ail material for three
months. The growth of S. enteritidis animal strain was inhibited in maize a
nd feed after the two month storage.
