Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections in poultry, particularly commercial layer chickens, pose a critical risk to food safety and public health worldwide. NTS bacteria can remain undetected poultry flocks, contaminating products, potentially leading gastroenteritis humans. This review examines pre-harvest control strategies for including biosecurity protocols, vaccinations, feed additives, genetic selection, environmental management. By evaluating these strategies, this highlights the importance of integrated measures limit colonization, reduce antimicrobial resistance, improve health. aims provide producers, researchers, policymakers with insights into effective practices minimize contamination enhance both animal human outcomes.
