Isolation and identification of Enterobacteriaceae from animal feed Department:Microbiology By: Ayodeji1224 Project ID: 8351 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦5000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThis study investigated the microbial contamination and Enterobacteriaceae of various animal feed types, including layer mash, finisher pellet, pig feed, grower mash, and professional starter crumble in Ado Ekiti and Ikere Ekiti, using Total Viable Count (TVC), colony morphology and biochemical tests. The most common bacterial colonies isolated were Escherichia coli (E. coli), Enterobacter, Campylobacter, and Salmonella, which were isolated from the sample. Based on the study, layer mash (94× 10-4) and starter crumble (66 × 10-4) exhibited the highest microbial count with lowest levels of contamination compared to professional starter crumble (24 ×10-4). These findings highlight the need for improved hygiene practices, regular microbial monitoring, and effective feed processing techniques, such as heat treatment, to reduce microbial contamination and enhance feed safety....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
