Abstract:
... A longitudinal study was conducted in five conventional broiler farms during a 2-year period to determine the dynamics of Campylobacter infection in a warm climate region (north-eastern Spain). Weekly sampling of 63 flocks was performed upon one-day-old chick placement, including animal and environmental samples. Campylobacter spp. detection was assessed by culture and non-culture methods. Environ ...
