An indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine levels of IgG reacting with lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella enteritidis in samples of egg yolk from broiler breeder and egg‐laying flocks, some of which were known to be infected with S. enteritidis. There was positive correlation between infection with salmonella and a high reading in the ELISA.
