Bacteriophages to Control in Commercially Farmed Broiler Chickens, in Australia.

This study describes the development and use of bacteriophage cocktails to control in broiler chickens, in a commercial setting, in Queensland Australia, following the birds from farm to the processing plant. The components of the bacteriophage cocktails were selected to be effective against the maximum number of and isolates encountered on SE Queensland farms. Farms were identified that had suitable target populations and phage were undetectable 1 week prior to the intended treatment.
