Successful treatment of Salmonella enteritidis infection in commercial layers with organic acids blend (Orgacids)

Kok P. C., . and Ang S. K., . Successful treatment of Salmonella enteritidis infection in commercial layers with organic acids blend (Orgacids). pp. 23-25. ISSN 9128-2506

A commercial layer farm was found to be perpetually infected with Salmonella enteritidis over the past two years. Despite the management resorting to various antibiotics as a means of control it was observed that S. enteritidis and other Salmonella spp. were not eliminated though the organisms were being regularly isolated. The situation was compounded by the presence of drug resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues in table eggs which are known to be harmful to consumers. Organic acid blend (Orgacids) was introduced to this layer farm with a dosage of 0.15 and 0.30 per ton of feed. The combination was able to eliminate S. enteritidis after 0.30 Orgacids feed was fed for 28 days followed by feeding 0.15 of Orgacids subsequently. Orgacids is a 'green' acidifier product with no residue and resistant gene found. It appears to be an alternative to antibiotics in livestock and poultry husbandry.

Abstract

A commercial layer farm was found to be perpetually infected with Salmonella enteritidis over the past two years. Despite the management resorting to various antibiotics as a means of control it was observed that S. enteritidis and other Salmonella spp. were not eliminated though the organisms were being regularly isolated. The situation was compounded by the presence of drug resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues in table eggs which are known to be harmful to consumers. Organic acid blend (Orgacids) was introduced to this layer farm with a dosage of 0.15 and 0.30 per ton of feed. The combination was able to eliminate S. enteritidis after 0.30 Orgacids feed was fed for 28 days followed by feeding 0.15 of Orgacids subsequently. Orgacids is a 'green' acidifier product with no residue and resistant gene found. It appears to be an alternative to antibiotics in livestock and poultry husbandry.
