Salmonella infection is unusual in Sweden, but if you have gotten it, it is difficult to sanitize away. Then it happens that the same stable can be affected several times, says the county veterinarian Jeremy Rocchio to the magazine.
In the infected stable, there are 12,000 breeding hens. They will probably be put down, but a decision has not been made yet.
The farm has an egg production where breeding hens lay fertilized eggs that are delivered to a company where they are hatched into chicks that are raised and slaughtered. Deliveries of eggs to the hatchery have been stopped.
