Abstract

Recycled poultry waste was evaluated for protective effects against Salmonella typhimurium colonization and as growth stimulant supplement in feed ration of chickens. Poultry waste was dried at 60°C for 48 hrs. and provided as 5% and 10% of feed ration from day of hatch till 21 days. The chicks were divided into 6 equal groups (1) for control negative, no challenge, no waste (2) no challenge, 5% waste (3) no challenge, 10% waste (4) for control positive, challenge, no waste (5) challenge, 5% waste (6) challenge, 10% waste. Challenge took place at 3 days of age with 0.2 ml of 10° c.f.u. S. typhimarium. Twelve days after challenge, ceca, spleen, liver and heart blood were collected from killed chicks and evaluated for S. typhimurium colonization. Growth and general performance of chicks were recorded throughout the experiment. The results indicated that provision of used dried poultry waste in feed ration of newly hatched chicks has dual purpose, it effectively controls S. typhimurium colonization and improves growth response.
