An ensemble learning approach to identify pastured poultry farm practice variables and soil constituents that promote Salmonella prevalence. [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Animal sourced foods including contaminated poultry meat and eggs contribute to human non-typhoidal salmonellosis, a foodborne zoonosis. Prevalence of Salmonella in pastured poultry production systems can lead to contamination of the final product ...

Feeding and lighting practices on small-scale extensive pastured poultry commercial farms in the United States

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2019
As commercial free-range and pastured poultry production has gained increased popularity in the United States in recent years, there is a greater need to understand basic husbandry practices including feeding and lighting practices. Because husbandry practices vary greatly between individual commercial pastured poultry and free-range operations ...

Predicting foodborne pathogens and probiotics taxa within poultry-related microbiomes using a machine learning approach. [PDF]

open access: yesAnim Microbiome, 2023
Background Microbiomes that can serve as an indicator of gut, intestinal, and general health of humans and animals are largely influenced by food consumed and contaminant bioagents. Microbiome studies usually focus on estimating the alpha (within sample)

Comparison between LASSO and RT methods for prediction of generic E. coli concentration in pastured poultry farms

open access: yesFood Research International, 2022
Though most strains of E. coli are non-pathogenic components of the intestinal microbiome, certain pathogenic E. coli strains are the cause of diseases and outbreaks. Poultry is identified as a common reservoir for pathogenic E. coli.

Salmonella Diversity Along the Farm-to-Fork Continuum of Pastured Poultry Flocks in the Southeastern United States

open access: yesFrontiers in Animal Science, 2021
Greater consumer demand for all natural, antibiotic-free poultry products has led to an increase in pastured poultry operations. Given the increased level of environmental interaction, and the potential increase in exposure to foodborne pathogens, a ...

Comparison between random forest and gradient boosting machine methods for predicting Listeria spp. prevalence in the environment of pastured poultry farms

open access: yesFood Research International, 2019
Foodborne pathogens such as Listeria spp. contain the ability to survive and multiply in poultry farming environments, which provides a route of contamination for poultry processing environments and final poultry products.

The grass is greener: Farmers' experiences with pastured poultry

open access: yesRenewable Agriculture and Food Systems, 2011
AbstractRearing poultry outdoors on pasture for egg and meat production is a growing industry in the USA. However, little has been written on farmers' experiences with this practice. This paper presents the results of in-depth interviews and surveys with 18 California pastured poultry producers (62% response rate).

Pastured Poultry Production in the United States: Strategies to Balance System Sustainability and Environmental Impact

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Nutrient and pathogen pollution are the leading causes of water quality impairment in lakes, reservoirs, and rivers in the United States. Dissemination of these contaminants can result in eutrophication of freshwater resources and pose a risk to public ...
