dc.description	Previous reports have indicated that sheep and goats harbour a wide range of Salmonella serovars and act as one of the sources of infection of human salmonellosis (Nabbut and Al-Nakhli, 1982; Abdel-Ghani et al., 1987). Contamination of red meat by Salmonella may occur at abattoirs from carrier animals excreting the organism and by contaminated abattoir equipment and floors (Smeltzer et al., 1980). It is obvious that salmonellae in the mesenteric lymph nodes, which could be incised during the inspection process, and in faeces, constitute sources for contamination of red meat and other edible parts of the carcasses (Smeltzer et al., 1980; Nabbut and Al-Nakhli, 1982)	en_US
dc.description.abstract	The present study was undertaken to determine the occurrence, distribution and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Salmonella serovars in apparently healthy slaughtered sheep and goats in central Ethiopia. A total 1224 samples consisting of faeces, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and abdominal and diaphragmatic muscle samples were collected from 104 sheep and 100 goats. Salmonella was isolated from 12 of 104 (11.5%) sheep and 3 of 100 (3%) goats. Of the total 624 and 600 samples examined from sheep and goats, 18 (2.9%) and 4 (0.7%), respectively, were Salmonella positive. The 22 Salmonella	en_US
