A total of 345 broiler and 360 turkey intestinal tracts originating from 10 conventional broiler farms and 10 conventional turkey farms were collected from processing plants, which process approximately 200,000 to 300,000 broilers and 17,000 to 21,000 turkeys per week. Since there are only a limited number of large-scale certified organic broiler and turkey farms in Ohio, only five organic broiler farms and five organic turkey farms were included in this study. A total of 355 intestinal tracts of organic broilers and 230 intestinal tracts of organic turkeys were collected from a stateinspected organic processing plant.
In general, the whole intestinal tract of conventionally raised turkeys, organically raised broilers, and organically raised turkeys was manually taken out from each carcass by an employee of the processing plant, while the whole intestinal tract of conventionally raised broilers was taken out from each carcass by automated equipment. The samples in this study were collected from August 2000 to November 2002.
