Interaction Between Aflatoxicosis and a Natural Infection of Chickens with Salmonella

R D Wyatt 1, P B Hamilton 1
PMCID: PMC187286  PMID: 1200632

Abstract

Broiler chicks with a natural congenital infection of Salmonella worthington required a lower concentration of dietary aflatoxin (0.625 μg/g) to depress growth than uninfected chicks (2.50 μg/g).
