During a 2-month period, 111 cloacae swabs were collected from six layer farms. Four of six layer farms used AGP (farms A, B, C and D). The average age of layers was 9.2 ± 7.7 months. A questionnaire was used to record name of farm (A to F), location, breed/strain, age of birds and AGP administered
Sterile cotton swabs were used to take cloacae specimens from live chickens. The cloacae swabs were placed in tryptic soy broth at room temperature.
