Information gathered in looking at salmonellosis in sheep feedlots may come from a literature search, from which it is concluded that Salmonella is orally acquired and exposure dose is important - this may lead to identification of simple measures such as feeding in raised troughs which prevent faecal contamination of feed and ensuring good drainage to prevent slurry build-up. Alternatively, data might be available from feedlot and veterinary records, providing facts about cases (and non-cases) of salmonellosis that have occurred. This data would then need to be collated, summarised and interpreted to generate information from which to draw conclusions.
