In the present study, a series of experiments was conducted to evaluate the ability of a commercial probiotic culture (FloraMax, IVS-Wynco LLC, Springdale, AR) to reduce Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg (SH) in chicks and turkey poults. In experiments 1 and 2, clacks were randomly assigned to treatment groups and then challenged via oral gavage with SH. Chicks were treated 1 h following SH challenge with the probiotic culture via oral gavage. At 24 and 72 h posttreatment, cecal tonsils and ceca were collected for recovery and enumeration of enteric Salmonella Heidelberg, respectively. In experiment 3, day-of-hatch turkeys were randomly assigned to treatment groups and then challenged via oral gavage with SH. Poults were treated 1 h following challenge with the probiotic via oral gavage. At 24 and 72 h post probiotic treatment, cecal tonsils and ceca were collected for recovery and enumeration of enteric SH, respectively. The probiotic culture significantly reduced the incidence of SH in cecal tonsils at both time points in chicks in both experiments (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that administration of probiotic 1 h post SH challenge significantly reduced the incidence of SH recovery from cecal tonsils of chicks compared with controls 24 and 72 h following treatment. Similarly, probiotic treatment resulted in significant reductions in the concentrations of SH within the ceca in both experiments. Although similar significant results were observed at both 24 and 72 h in experiment 3, it was clear that poults were more susceptible to SH colonization than chicks. Overall, a Lactobacillus-based probiotic significantly reduced Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg in chicks and turkey poults.
