Seeder bird production following inoculation with Campylobacter and Salmonella through various body openings [sbstract]. International Poultry Scientific Forum. 97(E.Suppl.1):335. Interpretive Summary: none Technical Abstract: Young chicks have an immature gut microflora and as such are susceptible to colonization by bacteria such as Campylobacter and Salmonella. This study demonstrates that these bacteria can enter the young birds body through many body openings and produce heavily contaminated seeder birds. These birds will then spread human foodborne enteropathogens to many other animals in the commercial chicken house. |
