Practical Applied Research
Part PDA Budget
has great potential because it
also satisfies consumer concerns
with reduced dependence on an
tibiotics.
The research project on sal
monella looked at how surfaces
in poultry houses retain sal
monella bacteria. Wooden sur
faces were found to hide the
bacteria deep and the experi
ment related to painted surfaces
and the practical aspects of
painting house surfaces.
Fly control was another study.
If you can reduce the moisture
content of manure, you can
reduce fly breeding. If you
reduce manure wetness from 80
percent out of the birds to 50
percent, you decrease fly hatch,
odor, and manure weight. A
combination of tools can be used
such as insecticides, fly preda
tors, pit fans, composting in the
pit, and belt cage systems.
