31 villages distributed along roads and riverbasins were visited between 2003 and 2012. Each village was visited for 15 daysonce a year during this period. Because the study period encom-passed 20 months, some villages were visited once and otherstwice. Starting in August 2010, two types of birds were sampledfrom each village during study visits. Birds from small-scale production operations were production-breed broiler chick-ens and laying hens. Diets of produc-tion birds were composed largely of formula feed containingantibiotics, and antibiotics were sometimes directly adminis-tered to these chickens in their water. Coop-level informationon antibiotics included in feed was not available. n contrast, house-hold chickens, kept for personal consumption (meat andeggs), did not have movement restrictions and had diets com-posed primarily of ground corn and kitchen scraps. t least 5 small-scale production chickens in each coopwere sampled. For villages with no small-scale production op-erations present at the time of the visit, 3–10 households werechosen at random to sample household birds. The exact num-ber was dependent on the proportion of households in the vil-lage that were raising household birds at the time, whichranged from 10%–30%.

Fecal samples from both humans and chickens were collected(August 2010 to May 2012).
