esults demonstrated dietary BBR supplementation improved the growth performance of yellow-feathered broilers, and was closely related to the significant changes in cecal microbiota composition.Foodborne illness is an ongoing problem worldwide and is caused by bacteria that invade the food chain from the farm, slaughter house, restaurant or grocery, or in the home and can be controlled by strategies using biocides (antiseptics and disinfectants). Susceptibility profiles were determined for 96 Campylobacter jejuni strains obtained in 2011-2012 from broiler chicken house environments to antimicrobials and disinfectants as per the methods of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and TREK Diagnostics using CAMPY AST Campylobacter plates. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pd-1-pd-l1-inhibitor-2.html BMS202] Low prevalence of antimicrobial resistance was observed in C. jejuni strains to tetracycline (TET; 21.9%), ciprofloxacin (CIP; 13.5%), and nalidixic acid (NAL; 12.5%). The resistance profiles had a maximum of 3 antimicrobials, CIP-NAL-TET, with TET being the main profile observed. No cross-resistance was observed between antimicrobials and disinfectants. The C. jejuni strains (99%) were resistant to triclosan, 32% were resistant to chlorhexidine, and they all t in DC&amp;R was not effective against C. jejuni compared with the ammonium chloride components. Its use in disinfectants may result in additional unnecessary chemicals in the environment. Didecyldimethylammonium chloride is the most effective ammonium chloride component against C. jejuni.Salmonella is a major zoonotic foodborne pathogen that persists on poultry farms worldwide. The present study aimed to survey the prevalence of Salmonella and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) recovered from broiler chickens in Shandong Province, China. A total of 280 Salmonella isolates were identified from 923 broiler chicken samples between 2013 and 2018. Among the isolates, S. Enteritidis (n = 128, 45.7%) was the predominant serovar, and high antimicrobial resistance rates to piperacillin (PIP) (n = 123, 96.1%), ampicillin (AM) (n = 122, 95.3%), nitrofurantoin (FT) (n = 106, 96.1%), and tetracycline (TE) (n = 93, 72.7%) were observed in S. Enteritidis. A total of 96 (75.0%) S. Enteritidis isolates presented with multidrug resistance, the most frequent of which were the combination of AM, PIP, TE, and FT. Resistance to fluoroquinolone tended to increase during 2013 to 2018. Our findings provide important and updated information about the baseline antimicrobial-resistant data for food safety and a risk assessment of S. Enteritidis from broiler chickens in Shandong Province and will be helpful for future surveillance activities to ensure the safety of the chicken supply.A large number of antimicrobials are used for the treatment of bacterial infections, and the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) in livestock and the transfer of resistant isolates to humans poses a serious potential risk to public health. In particular, broiler parent stock produce thousands of eggs for commercial broiler chickens and can transfer antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and drug-resistance genes to chicks. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing E. coli isolated from the broiler parent stock in Korea. Among 51 cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates, 45 (88.2%) isolates were identified as multidrug resistant and 21 isolates showed phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of CTX-M-producing E. coli. The CTX-M genes CTX-M-14, CTX-M-15, CTX-M-1, and CTX-M-1 were detected in 10, 7, 3, and 1 isolates, respectively. ISEcp1 or IS26 + ISEcp1 were identified upstream of all CTX-M-type genes, and orf477 and IS903 were detected downstream of 9 and 10 CTX-M-type genes, respectively. Thirteen (61.9%) of the 21 CTX-M-producing E. coli isolates harbored class 1 integrons with 4 different gene cassette arrangements. Among the plasmid replicons, CTX-M-1 was located on I1, F, and FIB; CTX-M-14 on F and FII; CTX-M-15 on FII, FIA, and FIB; and CTX-M-65 on FIB. This is the first study to investigate the presence and distribution of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant and CTX-M-producing E. coli isolated from the broiler parent stock level in Korea, and the results indicate that comprehensive surveillance and persistent monitoring systems in broiler parent stock farms are necessary to prevent the dissemination of resistant isolates.Our study was aimed to investigate the effects of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) levels on the digestive physiology in the jejunal fluid of Muscovy ducks to provide digestive parameters for in vitro digestion. There were 6 ME levels (11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 13.0, and 13.5 MJ/kg; Exp. 1) and six CP levels (140, 155, 170, 185, 200, and 215 g/kg; Exp. 2) and each treatment included 6 replicates with 3 ducks each replicate. In Exp. 3, the comparison of energy utilization was investigated between in vivo and in vitro using the digestion parameters obtained from Exp. 1 and 2. As dietary ME was increased, the chymotrypsin activity was increased linearly (P less then 0.05), and the concentrations of Ca2+, K+, and Mg2+ were increased quadratically (P less then 0.05) in the jejunal fluid. As dietary CP was increased, amylase activity was increased linearly (P less then 0.05), whereas trypsin and chymotrypsin activities and Ca2+ concentration were increased quadratically (P less then 0.05). The pH values were decreased quadratically with the increased dietary ME or CP levels (P less then 0.05). The optimal digestion parameters for energy feedstuffs with 307.26 U/mL amylase, 54.68 U/mL trypsin, 24.90 U/mL chymotrypsin, 104.39 mmol/L Na+, 51.25 mmol/L Cl-, and pH 7.79; for protein feedstuffs with 381.88 U/mL amylase, 72.84 U/mL trypsin, 11.98 U/mL chymotrypsin, 93.53 mmol/L Na+, 46.25 mmol/L Cl-, and pH 7.80, respectively. Using the optimal digestion parameters for in vitro digestion, energy utilization in vitro reflected the degree of the apparent energy utilization of corn, sorghum, and barley as well as true energy utilization of soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and cottonseed meal in vivo and the variation of digestion was lower in vitro than in vivo.
