No animal was sampled alive or sacrificed for the purpose of this study. Thus, according to the Spanish National law for the protection of animals (RD53/2013) that transcribes the EU directive 2010/63/UE, no ethics committee approval was deemed necessary. Furthermore, ethic committee approval was not deemed necessary based on the Article 7.1 (on the recommendations for animal welfare) and the Article 7.8 (on the use of animals in research and education) of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code followed by Senegal.At the time of processing the entity responsible for the animals was the slaughterhouse and authorization for sample collection was obtained from the directing board of the slaughterhouse. Also, the chicken sampling was authorized verbally by the owner which is responsible for the animals.
