1.1 JUSTIFICATION
This study has been justified by the need and
safety of consuming children (white meat) which has low cholesterol but
rich in protein than beef which has high cholesterol. Also human
beings and the world at large, benefit from our poultry farms where we
have the layers (Egg producing Chiks) and the broilers (Heavy chicks)
for consumption.
The poultry (chicken) are rich in
protein and amino acid needed for growth. Livestock feeds are
formulated to a ratio for different species and classes of poultry.
These are also feed additive, which may be added to the feed to prevent
disease or make animals utilize feed better. Some ingredient
concentrate is added to nourish the feed.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To highlight the varius importance of the livestock (poultry) t human and our industries.
2. To determine the incidence of bacteria infection such as balmonella
and Escherichia coli which cause health hazard to the poultry (Chiken).
3. To isolate and deduce effect of salmonella specie and Escherichia coli
in livestock (poultry) and their feeds.
4. To advice poultry farmers on how to preserve and handle their farms
feeds from infections diseases to the birds.
HYPOTHESIS
HYP. 10:- Salmonella and Escherichia coli are the major causes of bacteira infection found in livestock (poultry) feeds.
HYP. II: - salmonella only is the infection that effects the livestock (poultry) feeds.
HYP. II0:- Escherichia coli only is the bacteria infection that effects the livestock (poultry) feeds.)
STATEMNET OF PROBLEM
1.
poultry feeds are infected during procession by handling, mixing of
ingredient and exposing the raw materials and furnished products to the
atmospheric micro organism.
2. Poultry (birds) are being infected through the consumption of the contaminated feeds and unpurified water
3.
Also when the healthy and unhealthy birds are fed together from the
some feeding trough and water vessels, eventually the pathogenic and the
enteric organisms from infested ones may widely spread
4.
Salmonella and Escherichia coli as the bacterial organisms effects the
essential requirement of the body such as water, carbohydrate, fats,
vitamin, minerals and protein thereby reducing the content of the
nutrient needed for the food to the palatable and easily digestible
5. Consumers (humans) get infected by the in take of uncooked and half done chicken

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This work is aimed at determining the incidence of bacterial injections such as Salmonella and Escherichia coliwhich cause health hazards to the poultry in their feeds. Sample feed were obtained from commercial mash operation/ pellet mill operation at New heaven and top feed at Ogbete main market Enugu. The samples were screened for total aerobic bacteria count, total coliform count and the characterization of the bacteria isolates carried out while indole test and citrate test were used t ...
