Abstract

Salmonella carrier state of ostriches and epizootological conditions have been
studied and identified for the first time in Ararat region of the Republic of Armenia.
As an endemic infectious disease, Salmonellosis has caused significant economic
damage to ostrich farms. Bacteria carrying birds, caring, feeding and keeping
conditions, as well as stressful situations are predisposing factors for the mentioned
disease. According to the two-year epizootological investigations, under insecure
conditions the indices of infection, death and lethality have made 0.2 (20 %),
0.10 (10 %), 0.53 (53 %) respectively, while the economic loss amounted to
640 000 AMD.
