Bacterial Contamination Of Different Poultry Feeds In Umuahia Metropolis.
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to isolate of
microorganisms associated with different poultry feeds in
Umuahia Metropolis. A
total of thirty-six (36) feed samples were collected from different feed types
(starter, grower, finisher and layers feed) and five (5) different organisms were isolated which include; Salmonella sp 13(33.3), Staphylococcus aureus 10(25.6%), Bacillus spp 7(17.9%), Proteus sp 4(10.3) and Escherichia coli 5(12.8%). Salmonella sp was the most frequently
isolated organism as it has the highest percentage of occurrence, followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25.6%), Bacillus sp (17.9%), Escherichia coli (12.8%) and Proteus sp (10.3%). The viable
counts of samples tested indicated that feed samples from rainbow feed were
mostly loaded with bacteria (8.7x106 cfu/g of feed, in average),
followed by samples from vital feed (5.9 x106 cfu/g of feed, in
average) and the least loaded were those from top feeds (5.0 x106
cfu/g of feed, in average). Sensitivity
test was carried out and most of the isolates were sensitive to ofloxacin
(30µg), followed by gentamicin (10µg), imipinem (25µg), Nitrofurantoin (30µg)
and resistant to Augmentin (30µg), Cefexime (30µg), cefotaxime (30µg) and
Cefuroxime (30µg). From the result of this study, it is necessary to
evaluate a feed safety by bacteriological examination of imported poultry feed
to ensure safety and quality of feed to prevent poultry diseases and great
economic losses.
