Risk factors and likelihood of Campylobacter colonization in broiler flocks

Abstract: Campylobacter was investigated in cecal droppings, feces, and cloacal swabs of 22 flocks of 3 to 5 week-old broilers. Risk factors and the likelihood of the presence of this agent in these flocks were determined. Management practices, such as cleaning and disinfection, feeding, drinkers, and litter treatments, were assessed. Results were evaluated using Odds Ratio (OR) test, and their significance was tested by Fisher's test (p<0.05). A Campylobacter prevalence of 81.8% was found in the broiler flocks (18/22),… Show more

“…Approximately 60-80% of human campylobacteriosis cases in the Netherlands can be attributed to broiler chicken as a reservoir (Mughini-Gras et al, 2016). Chicken intestines provide ideal conditions for Campylobacter growth, reaching levels of around 10 9 colony forming units (CFU) per gram in the chicken caeca (Kuana et al, 2007). It is crucial to prevent Campylobacter from spreading on farms before it begins spreading throughout the food supply (Lin, 2009;Mbabazi, 2011;Sibanda et al, 2018).…”
