title: [Possible applications of the biotest air microbe collector RCS Vet in swine housing].
abstract: A practical test of the Biotest centrifugal air sampler RCS Vet to assess the air quality for microbial levels in pig houses is presented. Estimating the number of microbial colony-forming units (staphylococcus) was only possible after modifying the sampler. Measurement of the total count of microbial-forming units was only possible under controlled conditions because of the high level of organisms in the pig house air. The use of selective media to measure microbial levels in air is described.
