Effect of probiotics on Campylobacter colonisation within the broiler gut

Description: A key component of the FSA work is to reduce the burden of foodborne disease in the UK. Campylobacter is the leading bacterial cause of foodborne disease in the UK, with chicken meat being the most common food source of exposure to this pathogen. Campylobacter is widespread in chicken farms, with 60% of UK broilers flocks carrying the pathogen at the point they are slaughtered. Interventions further down the food chain do not reliably eliminate this pathogen. Therefore, reducing Campylobacter colonisation on broiler flocks and contamination on chicken meat is a priority area for the FSA as this will contribute towards reducing human exposure and subsequent reported cases of foodborne disease. A clear evidence gap remains on whether probiotics can consistently affect Campylobacter levels in broilers, across commercial (read more...)

Summary: The Food Standards Agency is seeking research services to test whether commercially available probiotics can reduce or delay Campylobacter colonisation in broiler chickens raised in intensive commercial conditions. The field-trial study should assess whether any reduction in the birds’ gut translates into less contamination of carcasses at processing, and examine effects on animal welfare and production, including mortality, growth, feed conversion and flock health. The work is intended to address an evidence gap and support efforts to reduce foodborne illness linked to chicken. The research is expected to proceed in distinct phases, with findings informing whether later phases should go ahead. The requirement combines poultry-farm trials with relevant laboratory and research work.
