Abstract

The scientific and industrial potential of environmental, breeding, genetic, zootechnical, and sanitary-veterinary measures ensures improvements in productivity and resistance of agricultural chickens to infectious diseases, particularly bacterial ones, at poultry farms. In industrial poultry farming, infectious bacterial diseases exert significant pressure on bird health, productivity indicators, and mortality rates. The article presents the results of a study revealing the features of bacterial contamination in pathological material (198 composite samples) from agricultural chickens. These studies were conducted for the first time at poultry farms in the Akmola, Almaty, and West Kazakhstan regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Samples from the poultry farm in the Akmola region tested positive for Enterococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp., Almaty region for Clostridium spp. (poultry farm №2), Staphylococcus spp. (poultry farm №2), and Escherichia coli (poultry farm № 2-4), and West Kazakhstan region for Enterococcus spp. (poultry farm № 2-4) and Escherichia coli (poultry farm №5). Antibiotic resistance testing of Enterococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. strains showed that Enterococcus spp. strains were highly resistant to the Tifarm (100%) and Spelink (67%) drugs, while Staphylococcus spp. strains demonstrated high resistance to the Enroxil (100%) and Quinolone (67%) antibacterial drugs. The study of bacterial contamination in pathological material allowed the examined poultry farms to take necessary measures to ensure biosecurity and minimize the level of contamination in production matrices by bacterial pathogens.
