One of the horses boarded across the street from where my horse is died of salmonella. What are the risks involved for the horses at my barn? I have heard that the number 1 way of passing it on is through manure. Is there a chance of it being spread through birds, bugs, ect?

Animals may act as vectors but the risks are very small from most wildlife. I would be most concerned about the bottom of foot ware or if their land drained onto your land.

All foot ware has been cleaned in bleach prior to any contact with the horses in my barn. No chance of drainage onto our land as it is across a very wide street.
Thanks Dr. O
