Frontiers in Livestock Genomics (FLG) provides a venue for investigators to publish basic, applied, and methodological research toward a better understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying the expression of complex phenotypes in livestock, the effects of domestication and evolutionary processes on genome variability, as well as innovative strategies for the genetic improvement of economic...

Animal health surveillance in Great Britain (GB) is conducted through public and private initiatives, yet there is no consolidated information on these activities and their outcomes. We developed an inventory of livestock health surveillance programmes in GB to identify gaps in resource use and potential synergies that could be exploited. The inventory contained details of 36 livestock surveill...

Poultry is a well-known reservoir for Salmonella, hence numerous outbreaks associated with poultry meat/products and eggs have been reported to date. This study aimed determine the pooled prevalence, serotype diversity antibiotic resistance profiles of Salmonella in meat egg Turkey. For this purpose, international national electronic databases were searched using appropriate keywords English Tu...

India is one of the largest and fastest poultry growing industry currently holding the third position in the world in egg production and poultry meat production has reached about 2.2 million tons per year (Maharana and Tewari, 2011).The Gujarat state is no more exception to this as the poultry population has increased by 12.39% from year 2007 to 2012 (Livestock census, 2012). Poultry meat is co...

In sub‒Saharan Africa, non‒typhoidal Salmonellae (NTS) cause invasive disease particularly in children and HIV infected adults, but the disease epidemiology is poorly understood. Between 2012 and 2013, we investigated NTS sources and transmission in Kampala. We detected Salmonella in 60% of the influent and 60% of the effluent samples from a wastewater treatment plant and 53.3% of the influent ...
