This study provides an overview of sheep feedlotting and the problem of salmonellosis within the Australian live export industry. The report outlines why the problem is occurring and long-term strategies to reduce the incidence of salmonellosis that include; the strategic use of sheds in paddock-based systems, increasing resistance to the Salmonella spp. organism and reducing the salmonella challenge within feedlots.
