60 freshly slaughtered sheep and buffalo carcases (30 of each) were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni by enrich ment and direct plating procedures. Intact gall bladder, liver, muscle (diaphragm) and mesenteric lymph nodes samples were obtained from each animal. The recovery rate of C.jejuni from sheep carcases (23.33%) was higher than that in buffalo carcases (10%). the incidence of the isolated organisms from gall bladder, liver and mesenteric lymph nodes samples of sheep were 16.67%, 10% and 6.67% while the corresponding values in buffalo were 6.67%, 3.33% and 3.33% respectively. C.jejuni failed to be recovered from the examined muscle samples of both animals. The 4 positive livers for Campylobacter were from animals with postive gall bldders. The significance of Campylobacter as a foodborne pathogen was discussed.
