This systematic review aimed at investigating the role that biosecurity can have in preventing
or controlling colibacillosis in broiler production. Primary studies with natural or experimental …

Commercial hatch cabinet environments promote replication of microorganisms. These
pathogenic or apathogenic microorganisms may serve as pioneer colonizers of the …

Pioneer colonization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by bacteria is thought to have major
influence on neonatal tissue development. Previous studies have shown in ovo inoculation …

During the hatching process, chicks are exposed to opportunistic and/or pathogenic
organisms, such as virulent or avirulent Escherichia coli. Virulent E. coli strains have not …

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an opportunistic pathogen often introduced to
neonatal chicks during the hatching process. This commensal bacterium, particularly as a …

Pioneer colonization by beneficial microorganisms promote a shift in the composition of the
gut microbiota, excluding opportunistic pathogens. Commercially, the horizontal …

One of the factors affecting the hatching results and chick quality is the implementation of an
appropriate disinfection program with effective disinfectants. This study was carried out to …

Horizontal transmission of opportunistic Escherichia coli during hatch can have detrimental
effects on early performance, particularly as pioneer colonizers. Commercially …

Microbial blooms that emerge in commercial hatch cabinets consist of apathogenic and
pathogenic microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and …
