                                    Citation: BYRD, II, J.A., ANDERSON, R.C., NISBET, D.J. EFFECT OF EXPERIMENTAL CHLORATE PRODUCT ON SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION OF POULTRY. Proceedings of 51st Western Poultry Disease Conference. 2002. p. 9-11.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: E. coli and Salmonella are members of the family Enterobacteriacea, a common commensal family of bacteria.  Salmonella and E. coli have a nitrate reductase enzyme that allows respiration in anaerobic conditions.  Nitrate reductase can also co-metabolize chlorate to chlorite which will kill the bacteria. This study was performed to investigate the bactericidal effect of chlorate on Salmonella in the poultry gut.  Broilers or turkeys provided a chlorate solution in the drinking water had significantly (P < 0.05) decreased concentrations and incidence of crop and cecal Salmonella compared to the untreated controls.  The incorporation of chlorate in the drinking water prior to slaughter can be an effective pre-harvest intervention strategy to decrease Salmonella in poultry.
