Summary<\/span>
During the fattening period of a broiler flock four different litter materials (peat, chopped straw, shavings, silage) were tested simultaneously. The separated sections were tested for the presence of Salmonella<\/span> bacteria using the sock-sampling method as described in the regulation EC No. 646\/200 with slight modifications in the sampling technique and the laboratory protocol. In addition, some chemical and physical parameters regarding litter quality and house climate were analysed. Samples were taken at day 0 (housing of animals), day 14, and day 30. At the end of the fattening period Salmonella<\/span> Paratyphi B (d-tartrate +), representing a common strain in German broiler flocks, were isolated from culture. According to the various types of bedding materials some differences in the frequency of Salmonella<\/span> detection were found. With three samples out of six samples being positive, wood shavings showed the highest Salmonella<\/span> prevalence, followed by peat with two positive results. Corn silage was found to be a suitable alternative for common litter materials and revealed only one positive sample. Chopped straw was found to be free of Salmonella<\/span> in our study. However, the latter had a higher risk for negative side effects concerning animal health and house climate. The study showed that the choice of an appropriate litter material might be of considerable importance in order to decrease the Salmonella<\/span> burden within poultry flocks.

W\u00e4hrend der Mast einer Broilerherde wurden Torf, H\u00e4ckselstroh, Holzsp\u00e4ne und Maissilage vergleichend als Einstreu eingesetzt. Die vier Einstreubereiche wurden auf das Vorhandensein von Salmonellen getestet; dabei wurde die in der europ\u00e4ischen Verordnung Nr. 646\/200 beschriebene Probenahme- und Labormethode leicht modifiziert. Dar\u00fcber hinaus wurden einige abiotische Parameter erhoben, um Einstreuqualit\u00e4t und Stallklima zu beschreiben. Proben wurden am Tag der Einstallung (Tag 0) sowie an Tag 14 und Tag 30 des Mastdurchlaufes gewonnen. Erst gegen Ende der Mastperiode konnte das in deutschen Masth\u00e4hnchenbest\u00e4nden geh\u00e4uft auftretende Serovar Salmonella<\/span> Paratyphi B (d-Tartrat +) kulturell isoliert werden. Bez\u00fcglich der Nachweish\u00e4ufigkeit der Salmonellen wurden einstreuspezifische Unterschiede beobachtet. Mit drei positiven aus sechs Proben zeigten Holzsp\u00e4ne die h\u00f6chste Pr\u00e4valenz, gefolgt von Torf mit zwei positiven Ergebnissen. Maissilage erwies sich als geeignete alternative Einstreu und zeigte nur eine positive Probe. Das H\u00e4ckselstroh war in der Studie zwar frei von Salmonellen, wies jedoch ein h\u00f6heres Risiko bez\u00fcglich unerw\u00fcnschter Nebeneffekte in Tiergesundheit und Stallklima auf. Die Untersuchung zeigte, dass die Wahl des Einstreumaterials m\u00f6glicherweise eine Rolle f\u00fcr die Senkung der Salmonellen- Pr\u00e4valenz in Gefl\u00fcgelbest\u00e4nden spielen k\u00f6nnte.
