| Abstract;A commercial competitive exclusion (CE) product was administered to one-day-old pheasant chicks using a sprayer to evaluate the ability of the product for controlling salmonellosis in pheasants. On day 7 after the treatments, concentrations of propionic acid, acetic acid, and total volatile fatty acids (mean.+-.SD.MU.mol/g) in cecal contents from the CE-treated pheasants were significantly higher (P<0.01) than those from untreated birds (0.83.+-.0.23 versus 0.13.+-.0.11, 4.95.+-.0.79 versus 2.60.+-.0.25, and 7.29.+-.0.77 versus 4.63.+-.0.54, respectively). One-day-old broiler chicks were also treated with the CE product as a sprayer or a feed supplement. On day 5 after the treatments, propionic acid concentration in the cecal contents from the sprayed chicks and the birds administered through feed reached the value of 4.45.+-.1.98.MU.mol/g and 5.85.+-.0.30.MU.mol/g, respectively, and their values were significantly higher (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively) than 2.08.+-.0.81.MU.mol/g in untreated chicks. The results suggest that some of the bacterial organisms in the CE product may colonize in the ceca of the treated pheasants. (author abst.) |
