Effect of selected modified atmosphere packaging on Campylobacter survival in raw poultry Open
Most current research on Campylobacter has focused on preharvest or processing plant cross-contamination. Little is known about the effect of storage environment on the survival of Campylobacter on raw poultry. We evaluated the effects of …

Effect of Dietary Natural Capsaicin on Experimental Salmonella enteritidis Infection and Yolk Pigmentation in Laying Hens Open
This study evaluated capsaicin extracted from chili pepper and its prophylactic effect on Salmonella enteritidis (SE) experimental infection, feed conversion, egg production, egg weight and yolk pigmentation in laying hens. Dekalb hens (30…

Approach for selection of individual enteric bacteria for competitive exclusion in turkey poults Open
The intentional early colonization of the intestinal tract with beneficial microflora, known as competitive exclusion, has been shown to successfully protect poultry from selected enteric pathogens. Although effective cultures have been pr…

In situ detection and quantification of bursa of fabricius cellular proliferation or apoptosis in normal or steroid-treated neonatal chicks Open
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is believed to be the mechanism for depletion of lymphocytes recognizing self-antigens following clonal expansion in the bursa of Fabricius. Although bursal apoptosis has previously been shown to increa…

Effect of Lactic Acid Administration in the Drinking Water During Preslaughter Feed Withdrawal on Salmonella and Campylobacter Contamination of Broilers Open
The crop is a known source of Salmonella and Campylobacter contamination. We evaluated the use of selected organic acids (0.5% acetic, lactic, or formic) in drinking water during a simulated 8-h pretransport feed withdrawal (FW). Salmonell…

Effect of lactose administration in drinking water prior to and during feed withdrawal on Salmonella recovery from broiler crops and ceca Open
Salmonella contamination of the chicken crop has been reported to increase markedly and significantly during feed withdrawal, probably due to coprophagy, and may contribute to carcass contamination at processing. The effect of prolonged la…

Evaluation of potential disinfectants for preslaughter broiler crop decontamination Open
The broiler crop has recently been implicated as a major source of Salmonella contamination at commercial processing. Furthermore, feed withdrawal has been positively correlated with increased Salmonella incidence in the crop, probably due…

Presence of Salmonella in the crop and ceca of broiler chickens before and after preslaughter feed withdrawal Open
Recent studies have suggested that crop contents may serve as an important source of Salmonella carcass contamination within processing plants. During the present study, we evaluated the effect of preslaughter feed withdrawal on the presen…

Incidence of Campylobacter in crops of preharvest market-age broiler chickens Open
Previous research has identified cecal and intestinal contents as sources for Campylobacter contamination of broiler carcasses in the processing plant. During the present study, we evaluated the crop contents of preharvest market-age broil…

Evaluation of alternative sampling methods for Salmonella critical control point determination at broiler processing Open
Several sampling methods have been developed for the detection of Salmonella on broiler carcasses during commercial processing. The present study evaluated three sampling methodologies for sensitivity of Salmonella detection on processed b…

Effect of feed withdrawal on the incidence of Salmonella in the crops and ceca of market age broiler chickens Open
Previous research regarding Salmonella contamination in poultry has focused predominantly on cecal and intestinal contamination. Recently, the crop has been implicated as an important source of carcass contamination within the processing p…

Evaluation of the Chicken Crop as a Source of Salmonella Contamination for Broiler Carcasses Open
Much previously published research has focused on the role of cecal and intestinal Salmonella contamination of poultry carcasses within commercial processing plants. Presently, we have evaluated the persistence of experimentally inoculated…
