Cost analysis and antimicrobial susceptibility testing comparing the E test and the agar dilution method in Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.

29 Sep 2009 Although numerous reports have compared the antimicrobial susceptibility of Campylobacter spp., controversy still exists about the use of the E test as an alternative to the agar dilution method suggested by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards ... Read more...

Utilizing fungus myceliated grain for molt induction and performance in commercial laying hens.

29 Sep 2009 Molting in poultry is used to rejuvenate hens for a second or third laying cycle. Feed withdrawal was once the most effective method used for molt induction; however, it has being phased out due to food safety and animal welfare concerns. This study ... Read more...

Salmonella detection in feces during broiler rearing and after live transport to the slaughterhouse.

30 Aug 2009 Eggs and poultry meat are a common source of human salmonellosis. Contamination of poultry or poultry meat may occur throughout the production chain. Nevertheless, in Spain, noncontaminated broiler meat may be sold for human consumption from 2011. ... Read more...
