Livestock (Poultry )gets infected when pathogenic organisms
passes to the susceptible animal through the through the following
avenues. Esmat.omar 1977.
1. Feeds and contaminated water feed or
water containing droppings or waste products of diseased animal will
help spread the organisms to fresh hosts. The feeding troughs and
watering vessels aso spread the diseases if not seperated.
2.
Dropping or excretes: These material are the gateway out for some stages
of oarganisms to go out of the host and get to fresh animal hosts.
3.
Close contact – some disease spread by contact. Their agents may be
external parasites or air borne in which case nearness to the superior’s
birds increase the changes of getting the organisms
4. To or event
the disease pathogenic organism from getting into the body of poultry,
attention should be payed to those factors that influence their
infections and spread. First and foremost, they should have disease
resisting stock, provide good shelter, clean range, proper feeding and
practise separating the unhealthy ones from the healthy poultry,
quarantining new stock. In case of poultry, the brooder house should be
30m to 48m from old birds. Such that they gets good feed and sunlight.
They should act be allowed to get in contact with their droppings or
excretes since their dropping carry the pathogenic organisms. Sanitation
is very important in poultry management by cleaning of water cans and
feed troughs and finally disinfecting the stock to help reduce organic
matter.
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.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This work is aimed at determining the incidence of bacterial injections such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli which 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 to con ...
