Prevalence and Factors Associated with Salmonellosis in Chicken Brooding Farms in and Around Arba Minch Town, Gamo Zone of Ethiopia

We all authors have done this research entitled ‘’Prevalence and Factors Associated with Salmonellosis in Chicken Brooding Farms in and Around Arba Minch Town, Gamo Zone of Ethiopia’’ for disseminating the result of our finding to the scientific community. The research has its strength as we did on chicken brooding farms which are the emerging production system in Ethiopia context and women and young cooperatives are highly engaged in this business but they have faced health-related problems in their management system. Therefore, this research was initiated based on practical challenges observed by the authors during professional support to brooding farm owners. This research aimed to estimate the prevalence of Salmonellosis and its potential factors with their antibiotic resistance pattern in the study area because there is irrational use of antibiotics among human and animal health in the study area this might have a source of development of drug resistance in Ethiopia and the study area in particular. Furthermore the study focus on bacteriological analysis, risk factor association and drug sensitivity test due to the limitation of resource that can be baseline data for characterization.
