Effectiveness of an Undefined Mucosal Competitive Exclusion Treatment to Control Salmonella in Turkeys during Brooding
نویسنده
چکیده
Mucosal competitive exclusion (MCE) cultures generated from the mucosal scrapings of healthy adult turkeys were administered to commercial turkey poults. MCE-treated poults were placed on tom and hen farms with paired untreated control poults in adjacent houses. After 6 wk in the brood house, cecal droppings from control and treated flocks were collected and analyzed for the presence of salmonellae. Salmonellae were detected in 14 of 30 cecal droppings (47%) from control flocks and from only 1 of 30 (3.3%) droppings from the treated poults. This study demonstrated that mucosal competitive exclusion could be used to effectively control salmonellae in a commercial field trial of young turkey flocks.
