Extract

One prerequisite for efficient broiler production is suitable litter. In addition to desirable chemical and physical characteristics, poultry litter must also be low in microbial load to minimize risk of incidence or transmission of diseases. This study was conducted to assess the mycoflora of six kinds of litter materials and evaluate the effect of litter kind and preslaugther feed withdrawal (PSFW) on gut bactrioflora of broilers.
