ABSTRACT

Bacteriological examination of litter and water from MOUAU poultry farm was carried out. Samples were randomly collected from five sections of the farm containing broiler (starters), Broiler (finisher), Turkey, pullet and Quail. Samples were cultured on MacConkey and nutrient agar using the streaking method of inoculation. Cultural, morphological and biochemical investigation reveals the isolate to be Bacillus sp, Citrobacter sp, Staphylococcus sp, Proteus sp, Streptococcus sp, Klebsie/la sp, Enterobacter sp, Pseudomonas sp, E. coli and Salmonella sp. The bacterial load of litter sample range from 29.95x10° -26.75x10° with the higher load been recorded against samples from L3. The range for the viable plate count of a bacteria from water samples is from 19.95x10° -12.20x10° unit. Bacillus, Citrobacter, E.coli and Enterobacter were isolated from all the sites (100% occurrence). Proteus was not isolated from any of the water samples and was present in samples collected from litter 1 (Broiler starter), and L2 (Broiler finisher). There were more bacteria isolate (67) from litter samples than that of the water samples (50). From both litter and water Enterobacter had the highest frequency of occurrence ( 18) followed by E. coli (16). This study has shown that the litters and water from MOUAU poultry farm are contaminated and should be taken good care of so as to reduce high load of bacteria which could lead to poultry diseases.
