Abstract
Salmonella Entrica (Salmonella) is a dangerous bacteria that can be transmitted to humans through contact with live poultry. Children are more likely to contract Salmonella because of their weakened immune systems and limited understanding of biosecurity. Effective risk communication and targeted information could improve health outcomes related to Salmonella. Teachers using embryology programs in their courses are an important demographic concerning education on how biosecurity relates to these animals. Based on the needs of teachers, new resources could be created to supplement these programs. This research aims to increase biosecurity education, reduce the risk of Salmonella, and ensure a safer environment for children engaged in poultry-related activities.
