Effect of Ensiling Broiler Litter with Fermented Milk as Inoculant

Litter material was obtained from broiler birds, reared on chaffed straws of wheat (T1 to T4) and paddy (T5 to T8) at floor spaces of 0.15sq.m/bird (T1, T2, T5 & T6) and 0.18sq.m/bird (T3, T4, T7 & T8). The litter material was then mixed with 10% molasses (DMB).The treatment groups (T2, T4, T6 & T8) were inoculated by 1% (v/w) fermented milk on fresh weight basis whereas control groups (T1, T3,...

Effect of on-farm litter acidification treatments on Campylobacter and Salmonella populations in commercial broiler houses in northeast Georgia.
