This study was undertaken from August 2005 to February 2006 on a commercial broiler chicken farm in Farnham, Quebec. Diet types consisted of a standard commercial vegetal soy-corn diet with ZB added (Albac; Alpharma Canada, Mississauga, Ontario) 55 ppm, or with VG added (Stafac 44; Phibro Animal Health, Regina, Saskatchewan) 22 ppm; a control group, without GP, was included in the study. At the beginning of each trial, all birds were vaccinated against Marek's disease.
150 chicks were swabbed to collect cloacal samples; litter samples were also collected. On day 34, 5 samples, each consisting of cloacal swabs pooled from 3 birds, were taken randomly in each group. Five samples of approximately 100 g of litter were taken randomly from each group on days 0 and 34 of each trial.
