Figure 7.

Bar graphs display log10 CFU per gm of the bacterial load in 8-13 birds per group at Day Post Challenge 4 and 10. Statistically significant reductions are marked at Day 4 among groups 4, 5 and 6. Error bars and individual data points are included, with group labels and average values shown on each bar.

Challenge Salmonella Enteritidis load in the cecum of birds. The bacterial enumeration in the cecum was performed at post-challenge days 4 and 10. The cecal content was diluted and plated on XLT4 agar plates supplemented with 20 μg/ml of Nalidixic acid and Novobiocin. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of log10 CFU/g from 8–13 birds per treatment group. Only significant comparisons are indicated in the figures.
