Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and infection status of Salmonella species (spp.) in 25 conventional pig farms by traditional fecal culture and serological methods to develop a Salmonella control program for Korean pig farms. The individual seroprevalence of Salmonella spp. in pigs reared in the 25 pig farms was 83.1% in sows and 6.4-32% in different aged pig groups, with the total seroprevalence 28.4% (141/848). The seroprevalence of the tested pigs increased in accordance with the decrease in maternal antibody and the rearing period on these farms. Of note, all the 25 pig farms contained at least two or more anti-Salmonella antibody-positive sows. In the fecal cultures Salmonella spp. were isolated only in three (12.0%, 3/25) of 16 serologically Salmonella-suspected farms (64.0%, 16/25), showing the limitation of the fecal culture method and the need for serum assays to understand the exact status of Salmonella infection in swine herds, which likely contain subclinically infected pigs or carriers. The results highlight the need to establish a supply system of Salmonella-free gilts for the promotion of a national Salmonella control program on swine farms in Korea. Further studies will be needed to develop an effective monitoring system for the implementation of a national Salmonella control program.

본 연구에서는 25개 양돈장의 사육돼지를 대상으로 혈청학적 및 미생물학적 모니터링을 실시하여 살모넬라의 유병율과 감염 양상을 분석함으로써 향후 한국 양돈장의 살모넬라 제어 프로그램 구축의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 25개 양돈장의 모돈과 사육단계별 돼지 혈청 총 848두에 대한 항체검사 결과, 전체 항체 보유율은 28.4%로 나타났으며, 사육단계별로는 모돈의 항체양성율이 83.1%로 가장 높았고, 20일령 이후 모체이행항체가 소실되고, 농장에서의 사육기간이 길어질수록 살모넬라에 노출되는 빈도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 조사대상 25개 양돈장의 모돈군은 최소한 1두 이상의 항체 양성모돈을 보유하고 있어 향후 우리나라 살모넬라 방역에 있어 종돈장의 살모넬라 감염 통제 및 음성 후보돈 공급체계 확립이 가장 시급한 것으로 판단되었다. 25개 양돈장에서 채취한 사육단계별 돼지 분변에 대한 세균 분리 동정 결과, 혈청학적으로 감염유형인 16개 양돈장 중 3개 양돈장(12.0%)에서 살모넬라 균이 분리되었다. 이러한 결과는 양돈장 사육 돼지집단에 대한 살모넬라 감염상황을 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 세균검사법만으로는 한계가 있으며, 돈군 내의 준임상감염축 또는 잠복감염축을 진단할 수 있는 혈청검사를 병행해야 함을 시사해준다. 또한 향후 우리나라의 양돈장 살모넬라 통제 프로그램을 구축하기 위하여 다양한 양돈장 모니터링 기법을 개발하고, 현장 효용성을 확인하기 위한 확대 시험이 필요하다.
