Antimicrobial feed additives generally do not affect chickenโคลิสติเนีย (CE) treatment. Differences in vitro versus in vivo effects are likely due to bioavailability in birds, with dose variation being key.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary microbiology
  • Poultry science
  • Antimicrobial resistance

Background:

  • Antimicrobial feed additives are widely used in poultry production.
  • Concerns exist regarding their impact on gut health and therapeutic interventions.
  • Chickenโคลิสติเนีย (CE) is a significant enteric pathogen in poultry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the compatibility of common antimicrobial feed additives with CE treatment.
  • To investigate the in vitro versus in vivo efficacy of these antimicrobials.
  • To determine optimal antimicrobial strategies for infected birds before microflora administration.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro testing of antimicrobial additives against CE cultures.
  • In vivo studies assessing the effects of additives on CE infection in poultry.

  • Analysis of antimicrobial bioavailability within the avian caecum.
  • Examination of dose-response relationships.
  • Main Results:

    • Most UK-approved antimicrobial additives showed no significant effect on CE.
    • Avoparcin exhibited a potential exception, warranting further investigation.
    • A discrepancy exists between in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial effects, possibly due to limited caecal availability.
    • Observed in vivo effects were primarily dose-dependent.

    Conclusions:

    • Antimicrobial feed additives generally do not interfere with CE treatment efficacy.
    • Bioavailability in the avian gut is a critical factor influencing antimicrobial activity.
    • Careful consideration of antimicrobial dosage and timing is essential for infected birds prior to probiotic administration.
