Some studies on salmonella control in chickens : probiotic, prebiotic and vaccination

Abstract EN

This study was designed to evaluate some biological methods used in either controlling or prophylaxis against salmonella.

Eight groups are treated as follow, four groups serve as control (control negative, probiotic control, prebiotic control and vaccine control), the 2nd four groups are the same but challenged at 21 day-old with 1ml over night broth culture of S.enteritidis.

The three treated groups were capable to reduce the harmful effect of salmonella infection like colonization and shedding of S.enteritidis, performance under experimental infection, some kidney function and liver enzymes but with varying degree.
