Abstract

The effect of competitive exclusion (CE) in prevention of Salmonella Grallinarum colonizantion was compared with a live (rough) strain of the same organism in chicks .A competitive exclusion (CE) product and the rouph strain were administered to different groups of one-day-old chicks. which were then challenged with the smooth strain of S.Gallinarum on day 3. The colonization of Salmonella as significantly reduced in both the treatment groups, as compared to the infected control group. up to 21 days. However, CE had a better protection factor than the rough strain, thus suggesting its better efficiancy in reducing Salmonella collonization in the chicks.
