title: Effect of medicating ingredients and other additives on microflora present on swine and chicken feeds from a Manitoba mill.
abstract: The occurrence of microfloral components on medicated and non-medicated swine and chicken feed pellets and crumbles, produced in a Manitoba feed mill between June 1991 and October 1992, was determined. Addition of medicates to feeds generally decreased bacterial incidence and increased that of Eurotium spp. fungi. The effect was less pronounced when copper sulphate was added to medicated swine feeds.
