Abstract:
The efficacy of apramycin given orally at dose levels of 225, 150 and 75 mg/litre for five days to chicks experimentally infected with Salmonella pullorum has been evaluated. The results show that this drug, when utilised at the dose level of 225 mg/litre for five days, totally suppresses mortality and significantly reduces Salmonella excretion in comparison with non-treated chicks.
