Abstract:
Reducing Salmonella in poultry products is an important goal to both the industry and the public health authorities to avoid medical problems related to this pathogen. Also, there is a need to minimize the use of antibiotics in poultry feeds for health and safety reasons. Probiotics and prebiotics were claimed to serve as effective alternatives to replace antibiotics in the poultry feed. The current study aims to reduce Salmonella in broilers by using commercial probiotics and prebiotics. 1 g/kg of Bacillus coagulans, was evaluated for its ability to reduce Salmonella in broiler chickens. It was found that this treatment significantly (P<0.05) reduced Salmonella concentrations in the ceca, as compared with the control. Finally, this study showed the importance of using these treatments control Salmonella at the broilers.
