MICROFLORA OF AIR IN POULTRY HOUSES WITH DIFFERENT CONTENT SYSTEMS
Abstract
Excessive microbial pressure in poultry houses creates
conditions for deteriorating the health of the bird and reducing its productivity.
The article provides an analytical review of the broiler chicken containment
systems, it is considered how organic poultry farming differs from the
conditions of the hen's cell and walking content. The results of bacteriological
study of poultry house air, the accumulation of microorganisms in them, with
the traditional, walking and organic content of the poultry are shown. The
smallest amount of microflora from the air was isolated during the organic
cultivation of broiler chickens. The greatest number of pathogenic and
conditionally pathogenic microorganisms was isolated from the air of a poultry
house under the traditional system of cultivation. In the conditions of certified
organic farming, a study was conducted on the testing of probiotics,
bacteriocin and postbiotic as natural prophylactic preparations (since the
preventive use of antibiotics is prohibited in organic livestock). Chicken broilers
of the Cobb 500 were used in the experiment. Studies have shown that it is
practically impossible to completely eliminate the aerogenic microflora, but it is
absolutely necessary to monitor and maintain it at an acceptable level in the
poultry house. In the chickens of the control group, a higher total microbial air
number was recorded throughout the entire experiment as compared to the air
of the test groups.
Keywords: air microflora, broiler chickens, organic poultry farming,
