“…The high counts of fungi in the current study indicate that more attention is needed in the storage strategies employed by the poultry feed manufacturers, or with the warehouse condition, as well as with handling of products and duration of storage. Arotupin et al (2007) obtained bacterial and fungal count in the range of 6.6 x 10 2 -2.5 x 10 4 and 1.5 x 10 2 -7.4 x 102 cfu/g respectively.…”

The poultry feeds were obtained from 20 different poultry pens and their microbial contents were assessed. The antibiotics resistance patterns of the bacterial isolates were also determined. The bacterial count ranged from 5.0 × 103 to 1.76 × 106 cfu/g while the fungal count ranged from 3.5 × 104 to 1.9 × 105 cfu/g. The bacterial species isolated were Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus pyogenes, Micrococcus luteus, Micrococcus varians, Micrococcus roseus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus hominis, while the fungal species isolated were Saccharomyces cerevisisae, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium sp., Humicola grisea, Aspergillus fumigatus, Hansenula sp. and Humicola fuscoatra. All the bacterial isolates were resistant to ceftazidime and cefuroxime and all the isolates were resistant to at least three antibiotics. Ofloxacin produced the highest zone of inhibition, followed by gentamicin, and then erythromycin. The presence of some pathogenic microorganisms in the poultry feeds revealed high level of contaminations. It is recommended that poultry feeds should be made from good quality grains and it should be prevented from environmental or other contamination.

“…The concentration of K element in indoor PM 10 can even be 6 to 22 times of that in the ambient PM 10 . K, Ca, Mg, and Na are essential elements in feedstuff, and the K content in poultry feed is 5.4 to 8.9% ( Arotupin et al, 2007 ). These results indicate that the feed can be a major source of animal indoor PM ( Cambra-López et al, 2011a ).…”

“…In poultry, the intestinal microbiota has a small role in feed digestion, which emphasizes the adequate nutritive value of feed that has to be easily digestible (Matthew et al, 2017;Smith et al, 2005). Complete feed mixtures for poultry are composed of plant feedstuffs (corn, wheat, barley, sunflower seeds) and animal origin feedstuffs (fish meal, meat or bone meal) (Sultana et al, 2017;Arotupin et al, 2007). Furthermore, complete feed mixtures contain inorganic sources of minerals and vitamins and various additives (probiotics, phytobiotics, organic acids, amino acid supplements, etc.…”

Introduction. Complete feed mixtures for laying hens are formulated to meet the requirements of the animals, for which various recommendations exist. Because of its nutritive value, feed provides a favorable environment for the growth of microorganisms. Prominent bacterial pathogens in poultry feed include Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, and Clostridium. There is a strong link between poultry feeds contaminated with bacteria pathogenic to humans and food borne disease occurrence, due to the feed-poultry-food-human chain. Materials and Methods. A total of fifty samples of complete feed mixtures for laying hens were collected during 2018 as a part of official controls. Feeds were analyzed for crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, crude cellulose, calcium and phosphorus, total numbers of bacteria, numbers of molds, Salmonella spp. and sulfite-reducing clostridia. Results and Conclusions. The feeds contained total bacteria and molds each at the level of 103 cfu g-1. Additionally, no Salmonella spp. or sulfite-reducing clostridia were detected in any feed sample. Saprophytic bacteria are frequently found in complete feed mixtures, but rarely are present in numbers considered as microbiologically unsafe. However, the presence of saprophytic bacteria can decrease the nutritive value of feed. The total number of bacteria and molds below the regulatory limits, as well as absence of pathogens in the commercially available poultry feed, indicates a high level of compliance with regulation. Furthermore, these results indicate the adequate implementation of controls and supervision of these poultry feed products in the Serbian market.
