A total of 36 goats were fed for 17 months with corn silage grown on land fertilized with human sewage sludge. These animals were investigated for salmonella infections. Salmonellae were not detected in cultures of fecal or silage samples. No significant agglutination titers were detected in goat sera examined. Salmonella newport C2 was isolated from the sludge used as fertilizer on the cornfields. The public health aspects of the findings are discussed as they relate to the increasing use of sewage sludge for agricultural fertilizers, as well as to the resultant effects on human food and livestock feed.
总共36只山羊用在施用人污水污泥的土地上种植的玉米青贮饲料喂养了17个月。对这些动物进行了沙门氏菌感染调查。在粪便或青贮饲料样本培养物中未检测到沙门氏菌。在所检测的山羊血清中未检测到显著的凝集效价。从用作玉米田肥料的污泥中分离出了纽波特沙门氏菌C2。讨论了这些发现与污水污泥越来越多地用作农业肥料以及对人类食物和牲畜饲料的最终影响相关的公共卫生问题。
