Efficacy of different microbial preparations for controlling Salmonella colonisation in chicks and turkey poults by
1Orion Corporation Farmos, Turku, Finland.
Abstract:
1. Control by competitive exclusion of intestinal colonisation by Salmonella infantis was studied in domestic chicks and turkey poults given a commercial product developed for use with chickens, compared with two similar preparations containing intestinal microorganisms from turkeys. 2. Each type of material protected both avian species when given orally before challenge; the degree of protection depended at least as much on the type of preparation as its host origin.
