The Inra401 is a sheep composite line developed from two breeds Berrichon du Cher and Romanov. At 113 days of age on average the lambs were inoculated intravenously with io8 Salmonella abortusovis Rv6 vaccinal strain . They were slaughtered 10 days after the inoculation. Several traits were measured at inoculation and or slaughtering to estimate the genetic resistance of the lambs to Salmonella infection specific IgM and IgGl antibody titres body weight loss spleen and pre-scapular node weights and counts of viable Salmonella persisting in these organs. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the genetic variability of the traits related to salmonellosis susceptibility. The heritabilities of the traits varied between and significantly different from zero . Thus in sheep as well as in other species the determinism of resistance to Salmonella infection is under genetic control. Moreover the correlations between the traits are in agreement with the .
