Clinical salmonellosis in cattle is infrequently recorded in Botswana, the majority of salmonella isolations being made from apparently healthy animals. A salmonella carrier rate of 6·7% was found in testing faeces samples from 89 apparently healthy cattle. A total of 35 salmonella serotypes were isolated from specimens of bovine origin. Salmonella dublin was isolated infrequently, possibly in part because of prophylactic vaccination.
