Effect of Repeated Suboptimal Chlorate Treatment on Ruminal and Fecal Bacterial Diversity

Abstract: The minimal effective dose of sodium chlorate as an intervention to reduce the carriage of pathogenic bacteria in food-producing animals has not been clearly established. The effect of low-level oral chlorate administration to ewes was assessed by comparing the diversity of prominent bacterial populations in their gastrointestinal tract. Twelve lactating crossed Pelibuey and Blackbelly-Dorper ewes (average body weight, 65 kg) were randomly assigned (four per treatment) to receive a control treatment (TC; consi… Show more

“…Additions of biochar (BC) to poultry litter composted for fertilizer lowered N losses by 52% (Steiner et al, 2009), but it did not clear that the N fixed with BC can be used effectively by ruminants. Besides composting, chemical compounds such as sodium chlorate have been used to control pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants (Anderson et al, 2002;Edrington et al, 2003;Callaway et al, 2003;Callaway et al, 2004: Anderson et al, 2005Taylor et al, 2012;Arzola et al, 2014;Copado et al, 2014). Short-chain nitro compounds also have shown bactericidal effects on Salmonella spp., Escherichia spp.…”
