Using E. coli population to predict foodborne pathogens in pastured poultry farms

Food Microbiology, 2022
Escherichia coli shows the potential of indicating foodborne pathogens. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between E. coli and foodborne pathogens such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Listeria in pastured poultry farms, as well as in related processing facilities. Five different sample types: (i) feces, (ii) soil, (iii) whole

Pasture-based systems for poultry production: implications and perspectives

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2011
The use of pasture-based systems for poultry production is growing due to consumer demand for specialty ‘natural’ and ‘welfare-friendly’ meat and eggs.

A Survey of Coccidia and Nematodes in Pastured Poultry in the State of Georgia

Avian Diseases, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the parasitological challenge in pastured poultry production in the state of Georgia. Over the course of 1 yr, fecal samples from six turkey flocks, 10 broiler flocks, and 13 layer flocks were collected on a pastured farm in 2-wk intervals to determine counts of Eimeria oocysts and nematode eggs ...

Ammonia emissions from cattle, pig and poultry wastes applied to pasture

Environmental Pollution, 1989
In four field experiments, carried out in The Netherlands, small wind-tunnels were used to make direct measurements of ammonia (NH(3)) volatilization from different types of slurry and manure applied to the surface of grassland. During periods of up to six days following application, losses of NH(3)-N often amounted to more than 40% of the NH(4)-N ...

Subsurface Application of Poultry Litter in Pasture and No‐Till Soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2011
Poultry litter provides a rich nutrient source for crops, but the usual practice of surface‐applying litter can degrade water quality by allowing nutrients to be transported from fields in surface runoff while much of the ammonia (NH3)–N escapes into the atmosphere.

Establishing a Small-Scale Pastured Poultry Operation in Kentucky

2022
Pastured poultry is poultry rotationally raised on pasture, as opposed to large-scale confinement operations. There has been a growing demand for pastured poultry as a result of the adverse effects of the use of antibiotics in large-scale caged systems and pastured poultry’s attributable nutritional and economic benefits to consumers.

Effects of pasture management on poultry welfare and meat quality in organic poultry production systems

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2015
Outdoor access is a defining characteristic of organic poultry that provides poultry with fresh grass, insects and worms that may lead to enhanced product quality. There is evidence that meat from pastured-based poultry may contain some additional nutritional benefits through lower fat content, as well as higher vitamin and mineral contents.

Range use and pasture consumption in free-range poultry production

Animal Production Science, 2013
The recent increase in free-range meat and egg production and consumption has led to extensive investigation in this area and has revealed that the level of animal performance achieved in such systems is low compared with that achieved in conventional production systems. In Australia, this difference has been attributed either to the absence of in-feed

Prevalence and Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated from Pasture Flock Poultry

Journal of Food Science, 2010
Abstract:  The growing interest in organic and natural foods warrants a greater need for information on the food safety of these products. In this study, samples were taken from 2 pasture flock farms ( N = 178; feed, water, drag swabs, and insect traps), pasture flock ...

Nutrient losses in surface and subsurface flow from pasture applied poultry litter and composted poultry litter

Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 1998
Over application of poultry litter may cause pollution of surface and ground water. Spatial variability in soil characteristics makes predictions difficult. Composting poultry litter could reduce the risk of pollution by creating more stable organic components. Three rates of poultry litter and compost (10 Mg ha-1 litter, 20 Mg ha-1 litter and 10 Mg ha-
