Development of a feed additive to reduce caecal <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> in broilers at slaughter age: from <i>in vitro</i> to <i>in vivo</i>, a proof of concept

Abstract

This study provides a strategy to reduce Camp. jejuni in broilers and, as a consequence, to improve the safety of the food chain. Moreover, data suggest that a treatment limited to the last weeks before slaughter would allow to save on inclusion of the additive throughout the whole production cycle.
