Abstract
A survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter, Salmon ella, and Arcobacter species in market age pigs from an integrated swine op eration in Texas. Our findings indicate that farms from this commercial ope ration were heavily contaminated with Campylobacter and Salmonella, that th e isolation rates of C. jejuni were higher than predicted, and that there w as a low prevalence of Arcobacter.
