Journal Article
Richards, P. J., Almutrafy, A., Liang, L., Flaujac Lafontaine, G. M., King, E., Fish, N. M., Connerton, A. J., Connerton, P. L., & Connerton, I. F. (2024). Prebiotic galactooligosaccharide feed modifies the chicken gut microbiota to efficiently clear Salmonella. mSystems, 9(8), Article e00754-24. https://doi.org/10.1128/msystems.00754-24

Chicken meat is contaminated with Salmonella from the gut of infected chickens during slaughter. Eradication of Salmonella from broiler chickens through hygiene measures and/or vaccination is not cost-effective; complementary approaches are required....

Waste from dairy production is one of the largest sources of contamination from antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) in many parts of the world. However, studies to date do not provide necessary evidence to inform antimicrobial res...

Influence of weaning and live yeast on faecal bacteria populations in pigs

The current studies describe how the diversity of faecal bacteria is affected by weaning and incorporation of live yeast into the post-weaning diet of pigs. Pigs were weane...
