An Epidemiological Study of Campylobacter jejuni in a Poultry Broiler Flock

Many poultry flocks have found to be colonised by C. jejuni 1,5,6,11 but the initial source of the organism has not been found. This study involved tracing a broiler flock from the breeder farm through the hatchery and on to the rearing farm to ascertain sources of contamination and methods of spread.
