Salmonella has been linked to many foodborne diseases across the world. Several control measures have been implemented to reduce Salmonella in poultry farms. The present study was focused on presence and serotyping of Salmonella in various samples from broilers. Salmonella isolates were obtained by standard cultivation methods. Four samples of faeces (n = 8) and twenty pooled samples of neck skins (n = 40) were found as positive. Pooled samples of chicken breast fillet (n = 20) were negative. Positive detection of Salmonella in the neck skins may be caused by contamination from the digestive tract or from the environment of the slaughter line. An interesting finding is that in all serotyped isolates (n = 24) only Salmonella indiana was present. Because S. indiana may pose a risk to human health, preventive measures have to be performed during the whole production chain.
