Abstract
This study investigated the distribution of ofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli (OFXR-EC) in broiler parent flocks (PS) treated with ofloxacin for 5 days from the time the chicks arrived at the poultry house, and their broiler offspring. OFXR-EC was detected in 22.95% of neonatal parent stock chicks (PSN) arriving at the poultry house. The detection rate of OFXR-EC in PS rearing was 72.49%, which was significantly higher than that detected in PSN. In addition, the detection rate of OFXR-EC was significantly lower in neonatal chicks of their offspring broilers (CSN) at 7.06% than that of PS, but was 24.62% in offspring broiler flocks (CS) at approximately 6 weeks of age. The OFXR-EC detection rate was significantly higher in CS than that in CSN, even though no therapeutic antimicrobials, including ofloxacin, were used from CSN to CS. In addition, the proportions of OFXR-ECs in E. coli isolated from samples in which OFXR-ECs were detected were 63.85% for PSN, 10.52% for PS, 62.00% for CSN, and 8.25% for CS. There was little difference in the composition ratio of OFXR-EC between PSN and CSN, or between PS and CS.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Poultry Science will publish original reports and reviews which either make an original contribution to fundamental science or are of obvious application to the industry. Subjects which are covered include: breeding and genetics, nutrition and feeds, physiology, reproduction, immunology, behavior, environmental science, management and housing welfare, processing and products, and health in poultry. Submission of original articles to the Journal is open to all poultry researchers. The review articles are invited papers written by international outstanding researchers. Articles will be published in English, American style.
