SUMMARY:Application of bacteriophages in commercial broiler houses- result
 s and population dynamics in field trials - Dr. Sophie Kittler\, Universit

DESCRIPTION:Because Bacteriophages are safe\, selective and effective in k
 illing pathogenic bacteria without changing the characteristics of food pr
 oducts\, they are a suitable measure for the prevention of foodborne zoono
 ses. Using bacteriophages in primary production for the reduction of patho
 genic bacteria aims at reducing the target bacteria in the intestina flora
  of commercial livestock. First field trials were carried out to reduce Ca
 mpylobacter in commercial broiler flocks and among practical consideration
 s\, population dynamics of the intestinal flora have to be considered for 
 such application strategies. We will present results from field trials and
  experiences on these issues of phage application.
