A total of 21 groups of pigs were included in this study, and samples were collected for 2 years, from October 2002 to October 2004. At the farm, fecal samples were collected from pigs at nursery farms
Fecal sample from the farms were directly plated (loopful, approximately 10 ml) onto campy-cefex selective plates (31) and incubated under microaerobic conditions (10% CO2, 5% O2, and 85%N2) with Anaeropacks (Remel, Lenexa, Kans.) at 428C for 48 h. All the incubations in subsequent steps were carried out under microaerobic conditions at the same temperature and duration unless stated otherwise. Carcass swabs were soaked in 30 ml of Bolton broth (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) and incubated for 48 h. Swabs in each Whirl-Pak bag were then squeezed, and a loopful of enriched liquid was aseptically withdrawn and streaked onto campy-cefex plates and incubated.
