When effluent from 11 slaughterhouses was examined continually during one week, 58% of 66 samples were positive. The concentration of salmonellas varied between 0.9 and 668 bacteria per 100 ml. Only 4 serotypes were isolated: S. agona, S. indiana, S. senftenberg, and s. typhimurium. This distribution of types is incompatible with findings in human beings, animals and feedstuffs.
