Outdoor access is an important part of organic and free-range poultry production, yet limited information exists on the effect of various housing and production systems on growth performance and colonization of food-borne pathogens. Therefore, the primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the influence of different housing systems, particularly fixed versus small, portable houses, wi...

The growing threat of biological agents, new diseases, and food-borne pathogens has created an increasing need for rapid and sensitive detection before the target population becomes infected. The incident of the anthrax letters in October 2001, the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the West Nile virus, and repeated occurrences of food-borne pathogens illustrate how neces...
