SUMMARY Four laboratories compared the fluorescent antibody technique ( fat ) and standard culture methods for the detection of salmonellae in feeds, animal by-products, and swine tissues. Of the 860 samples examined, 213 were positive by both methods, 240 were positive by pat only, 20 were positive by culture only, and 387 were negative by both methods. The fat appears to be a rapid, highly accurate method for the detection of salmonellae in feeds, animal by-products, and swine tissues.
