Bacteriology
TVC plate with colony forming units (CFU's)
Aside from Salmonella there are many other bacteria that can infect poultry. The Crowshall laboratory is concerned with four other areas of bacteriology.
- Determinant Bacteriology- culturing and identifying bacteria involved in disease cases
- Antibiotic sensitivity testing- to determine which range of antibiotics may be appropriate for treating a given infection
- Total viable count testing (TVC) - to determine efficacy of cleansing and disinfection programmes or bacterial status of drinking water
- Campylobacter testing
