The prevalence of Salmonella in slaughtered swines was evaluated and the results of serology and Salmonella isolation were compared to determine the most important stage of the infection (on-farm or transport and pre-slaughter) in relation to the number of carrier animals found at slaughter. Forty herds from three different swine raisers of the southern region of Brazil were sampled at slaughter. Blood and mesenteric lymph nodes were collected from 20 swines of each herd. Serum samples were submitted to ELISA including somatic antigens of S. Typhimurium. Salmonella was isolated from 62.5% to 85.0% of the animals, while seroprevalence varied from 73.8% to 83.2% in the three swine raisers. Serovar Agona, Typhimurium, and Panama were the most prevalent among the Salmonella isolates. Isolation and serological results demonstrated that Salmonella infection occurred during the on-farm stage, since a high seroprevalence was detected at slaughter. It was concluded that a Salmonella control program in southern Brazil must be started with the implementation of intervention measures at farm level.
