educing
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.
