A small area of the broiler house, for 5 different flocks, was sectioned off using Perspex sheeting. This ‘biosecure cube’ (BC) was populated with 25 to 125 chicks (test birds), a small subset of the general population of up to 30,000 (control) birds. The BC area incorporated the water and feed-lines. The birds were routinely tested for Campylobacter (faecal and/or caecal samples). Despite the general bird population being Campylobacter positive as early as 14 days, 4 of the 5 BC sub- populations remained negative while the fifth remained negative until day 35. It was therefore concluded that preventing direct contact between the farm staff and the broilers prevents Campylobacter infection in broilers.
