Salmonella Enterica Prevalence in Broiler Slaughter in Peri-Urban Kenya

A cross-sectional study collected 400 samples from 100 smallholder farms in Kiambu and Nairobi Counties, Kenya. The dataset contains sample metadata and microbiological isolation results for Salmonella enterica detection. It was authored by Angela Mwangi and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Salmonella prevalence based on sample type and collection point along the slaughter continuum.
• Investigating geographic risk factors based on county of origin (Kiambu or Nairobi).
• Validating microbiological detection methods based on PCR confirmation status for the invA gene.

Strengths

• Dataset contains 400 samples collected from 100 farms, providing a substantial sample size.
• Data collection followed ISO 6579-1:2017 protocols, indicating standardized methodology.
• Covers four distinct sample types (carcasses, swabs, rinse water, scalding water) across the slaughter process.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
